Guar Gum Where To Buy It In Thailand

[butterisbetter]

My wife has a bakery and she has gotten several requests for gluten free bread. However, to make this kind of bread, you need something to substitute for the gluten. Guar gum, being derived naturally from the guar bean, and having greater viscosity than the locust bean, seems to be the substance of choice. Any ideas about where to get it? I know that most of the world's supply comes from India, so maybe suppliers of Indian food ingredients might carry it? Although I don't have a clue if it's used at all in Indian Cuisine.

I buy Agar-Agar Powder at Villa, Big-C, Jusco..I'm sure all the bigger food stores have it. I use it in my gluten free bread I bake every week.
