Kathy, guar gum is the most common xanthan gum replacement, but you may find it leaves a similar mouth-feel. Ingredients that will give you something different include psyllium fiber (also known as psyllium husk), ground chia or flax seeds, gelatin, or agar agar (a vegan alternative to gelatin). You may need to do a bit of research to read more about how to incorporate each of these into your baking (we don't regularly use these ingredients in our test kitchen), but we'd be happy to help as best we can.
