Guar and xanthan are both available in healthfood stores. You might be
able to find ThickenThin's Not Starch (a blend of guar, xanthan, and a
few others) which is also lowcarb and will work just as well (in about
the same amounts too).

Then you can make a sugar free 'glaze' to go with your berries and
whipped cream or cheesecake. Dust a bit of thickener in a cup or so of
your favorite Davinci's flavor and whisk like mad. Ta-da. I am
considering making an almond flour cake and using it, strawberries and
such a glaze as a sugarfree lowcarb strawberry shortcake to give at my
sister's wedding reception (a bbq) in July.

Happy hunting.

You'll love it in hot cocoa or the chocolate omelet that was discussed
recently.

You can find guar gum at Whole Foods!

I have been to the 4 healthfood stores nearby with no luck.
The next step is to get on the phone and call the ones that require an
excursion. Hmm. Online somewhere maybe ? Anyone ?

As long as you may wind up online anyway, I prefer Expert Food's notStarch
to either plain xanthan gum or guar gum:
