Guar gum can best be described as a natural food thickener, similar to locust bean gum, cornstarch or tapioca flour. Guar gum is said to have significantly more thickening ability than cornstarch, at a fraction of the cost. This has made guar gum a popular additive in products such as puddings and ice creams. Until recently, guar gum was also an ingredient in non-prescription diet pills designed to create a sense of fullness. The dietary supplement Benefiber is almost 100 percent guar gum.

You can usually find this at organic or natural food store. I am checking into a couple to see about sizes and prices.
