I was just referred to this forum this morning, so I thought I would say hi for the first time :-)

I also wanted to know if anybody out there has problems digesting xanthan or guar gum. I have problems eating the brown rice bread sold at Trader Joes (I think the company is called Food For Life) as well as other premade items that have those gums in them. If I eat it for a number of days, I start to have the same fatigue, stomach pain, etc. as I have when I eat gluten; just to a lesser extent. I do have some problems when eating corn, so I thought that since I've read that xanthan gum has something to do with corn (at least that's what I thought I read somewhere), maybe that's the problem. But I seem to have problems with guar gum too, so who knows. It might just be that my body is oversensitive.

Thanks!
