Why the need for the xanthan gum and guar gum in this recipe? What if it were made without those ingredients?

Katie: Read the blog that I wrote for this, I talk about the gums in there. You don't have to use them (and/or you could use all of one gum instead of both, for example: 1/2 teaspoon or guar or xanthan gum). But I do recommend adding them.
