I know this is off the topic of gluten, but there was a recent post
on the list about Xanthan gum being made from corn stalks.
Since I have problems with corn I went over and looked at my
Xanthan gum (NOW Foods, Glendale Hts. IL).
The label states:
"Xanthan Gum is produced by the pure culture fermentation of the
microorganisim, Xanthomonas camprestris, to yield a type of gel fiber similar
to guar gum. It is commonly used in thickinging food products. Xanthan gum
is 100% pure and contains no sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, corn, soy, or
milk"
