Re: [NN] Fiber Menace on probiotics

I've read a lot of good things about Konjac powder (it is a glucomannan),
but unless you're going to compose a regular part of your diet out of it I
wouldn't bother. They do make noodles out of it though...

Idli and Dosa are both GF - they're two parts rice flour to one part lentil
flour.

Guar Gum (a galactomannan) is a common additive in GF goods. I personally
feel its a better option than xanthan gum... and maybe even a better option
than Konjac powder (especially if your're also casein free, since it
provides galactose based oligosaccharides).
