    Manioc / Cassava root/ tapioca flour (all the same thing)

    Tapioca beads if you don't mind the extra lumps in whatever you are thickening. (Great in fruit desserts like pie)

    Arrowroot (from a fragrant, pretty iris)

    Oat flour,

    Barley flour,

    Soy flour (but be prepared for a powerful taste theat many find unacceptable)

    I think Yucca root might work...not sure.

    Oh, almost forgot. Some beans and peas can be used to thick certain foods. Blacked-eyed peas for example will thicken a stew or soup. Just cook to a mush and add.

    Somewhere I have a Chinese recipe that uses red beans to make a sort of pudding that goes into an apple to be baked.
