Guar Gum - World’s Most Powerful Natural Appetite Regulator

[@serenebeth]

Appreciate the clarifying information. I wonder how guar gum compares & contrasts with apple pectin? Thanks for making this video for us!

[@DrChristianson]

You're welcome! In comparison studies, guar gum had a strong effect on lowering appetite and improving satiety.

[@Homesteadingwithnicole]

can you use it in making jams?

[@toheerohblends7205]

Very interesting and informative. Thanks for sharing

What is a safe daily dose

[@bellaflora.]

Great video! My question is, if I have green bean and white bean sensitivity should I avoid guar gum?

[@DrChristianson]

You'd need to check with your doc or allergist. Guar Gum allergies are extremely rare but not impossible.

Besides cooking and shakes, how else can you ise it?

[@tinamartin4381]

Interesting, thank you! Thought it was messing my candida up but sounds like it can help. Its in my coconut cream that i love

Thank you for the very informative and concise video. The only question is why you're apprehensive of the Iodine content of seaweed? Thankyou Dr.

Hi Dr. C; you mentioned that guar gum can clump and possibly cause swallowing problems if there is not enough water. Can you tell us please, what is "enough"? If we have it in your shake I would assume whatever the ratio of water to mix is then your shake is "enough"? Thank you

Interesting! First, it bothers me that live animals even though they were mice, were used to study the benefits of guar gum on their intestinal tract. 🤬. That being said, I have severe food allergies so I have to make my own gluten free baking flour. Guar gum is the only emulsifier I can use in my flour mix and have done so for about 7 years. Even with all my food allergies, I have had no bad effects with the guar gum so I will continue to use it. It is good to hear you speak of the benefits of using guar gum.

Start taking MSM to heal your gut, thats where most of the time allergy starts. Just try and you will amaze yourself, I've bin there.😉👌

Would love to hear your take on allulose and acacia.

[@DrChristianson]

Acacia is a nice fiber option. Allulose is a sweetener that is harmless in typical doses.

[@deekap8387]

Good video. Can Diabetic people with Gastroparesis take guar gum since it slows down gut. Thank you!

[@DrChristianson]

That is not a contraindication. It does not slow gut motility; it slows gastric emptying, which is good for blood sugar.
