Yes, I use it for thickening, too. But be real careful with gluc, as it can get thick enough for a spoon to stand up in before you know it! Been there; done that.

I've done that too. It's great to have a flour substitute though. Plus it's a good source of fiber.
I've never heard that assertion. I order it from Netrition.com. It also enhances baked goods when 1tsp.-1T. is added. Creates nicer texture and a bit more volume/rise in non-gluten baked goods. Some articles I've read about it say it helps maintain stable glucose levels as well. As pure fiber, it is EXTREMELY FILLING when you use it in foods.
I use the powdered, too. I order it from Netrition.com. Flatrate $4.95 shipping, so I wait until I have a bunch of items I want to order from them to save more. Check out their low-carb foods area.
