Xanthan Gum

Xanthan gum is safe while breastfeeding. It's a common thickening agent found in salad dressings, sauces, gluten-free baked goods, and many other processed foods. It passes through the digestive system largely undigested and doesn't meaningfully absorb into your bloodstream or breast milk.

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
