First you are welcome. If I remember right it is used to thicken. I will try and find out what you can use instead. I have been trying to eat healthy and do not usually use wheat flour unless I am doing cut cookies or something for Christmas and things like that.

Second, why is Xanthan gum used in the recipe below in your message? I have a friend allergic to it so need to substitute with something else or just leave it out. If I know its purpose it will help me decide what to do. Thanks!
