Guar Gum is derived from a plant that is a "cousin" of Soy. They are both legumes. As a result, it can trigger the same kind of allergic reaction that is caused by any consumption/contact of/with Soy or soy-based products.
Depending on your level of allergy, you may or may not react to guar gum, but I think most allergists, and most soy allergy sufferers (myself included), would advise you not to take the chance as increased exposure to an allergen increases your chance to experience a reaction.
You may also want to cut out other leguminous plant substances for the same reason.

Is guar gum a legume?
Guar gum is extracted from the bean of the Indian guar plant, a different plant. While it is true that guar gum is not derived from the seeds or any part of the soybean or soy plant, it should be noted that they are both members of the same plant family: legumes. As legumes, they can in fact cause an allergic reaction in anyone already allergic to another legume. This includes soy and peanuts, as well as beans and peas. Search for <Leguminous Plants> to find a full list of these soy "cousins".
