Thanks so very much to all those that responded. The general consensus
seems to be that Guar Gum does not contain gluten, although it does act as a
mild laxative and since diarrhea is common to many celiacs, many of you
try to avoid it. However, if diarrhea is not a problem, and it is not in my
son's case, then Guar Gum should have no ill effect.
Thank you again. There is such a wealth of knowledge on this site. A comfort
for those times when trying to be gluten-free can feel overwhelming!
