Can you substitute gram flour for corn flour?

There are so many ads on this page I am getting dizzy, so probably not the best place for baking advice. No, you can't substitute cornstarch every time for xantham gum, certainly not in baking. Yes, they are both gluten free thickening agents (check the source, some types of xantham gum contain wheat, but most specialty grocery stores carry only the GF version like Bob's Red Mill) . However, xantham gum thickens without the use of heat, for example for use as a thickening agent in toothpaste. It is a great stabilizer (as it doesn't separate oils), and is often used in medicines both as a laxative and to stabilize blood sugar. Cornstarch is just cornstarch. It thickens only when heated...yet when heated, cornstarch can actually raise blood glucose levels faster than cane sugar.

Which food preservatives or additives on salads in restaurants cause diarrhea about an hour after eating and is there a way to tell if these additives are present before eating?

Diet dressing - sorbitol, xylitol or mannitol Sugar alcohols are fairly sweet but aren't digested well and some people can't digest them at all so have extreme symptoms. Sorbitol is also prescribed in pharmacies as a laxative but the dose is similar to eating 3 to 6 diet ice cream bars at once. Low fat - xantham gum, guar gum or inulin. These are high fiber, thickening agents. They give a high fat-like consistency and prevent oil and vinegar from separating. People have differing gut bacteria ecosystems and, for some people, these additives will cause quick diarrhea symptoms. They are considered safe but some restaurants, that make their own dressing, may use far too much above 0.15% Xantham.
