What is Xanthan Gum?

Xanthan Gum is a sugar-like substance made by fermenting corn sugar with a bacteria, Xanthomonas campestris. It can be used to lower blood sugar and total cholesterol in patients with diabetes. It is also used as a laxative. Xanthan Gum works by swelling in the intestine, which stimulates the digestive tract to push stool through. It may also help to slow the absorption of sugar from the digestive tract.

Most gluten-free Xanthan Gum products are available as a pure powder which can be used as a cooking ingredient and a high-quality thickening agent. Its unique ability to hold small particles of food together makes it the ideal substitute for gluten in gluten-free baking. It is also used as an ingredient in a number of prescription and over-the-counter medications. Read and follow the product details and instructions on the packaging before using Xanthan Gum. If you are uncertain about how to use this product, then talk to your doctor or pharmacist for additional information.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has set a maximum acceptable consumption for Xanthan Gum as a food thickener additive at 10 mg/kg per day. As a laxative, 15 grams are allowed per day. For patients with diabetes, a typical dose of 12 grams per day is recommended as an ingredient in food products such as muffins and general gluten-free baking products. The health claims made by this product have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

What are the side effects of Xanthan Gum?

Xanthan Gum is generally safe to use when up to 15 grams per day are taken. It can cause some side effects such as intestinal gas and bloating. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you experience any of these effects and they persist or worsen.

There is a general concern that Xanthan Gum may interfere with blood sugar control during or after surgery. Stop using Xanthan Gum at least two weeks before a scheduled surgery to avoid possible complications.
