It fell off the front. Not the rear.

You need to make sure that whatever you buy will adjust out far enough due to thew extra offset, some thing like this? http://www.origin8.bike/product-description/?prod_model_uid=7181
You could make something to do the job easily enough, all it needs to do is prevent the chain moving to far inward, one of the ES boys just screwed a chunk of wood to the BB area :)
A bit of metal bent to shape and mounted on the down tube should be pretty straight forward although not as pretty as the origin8 one.
Might even be worth a look at your LBS as it's not that rare a part.

I just used my front derailleur at first(saved having to split the chain) then when I replaced the chain I left the guide off and my chain has never fallen off even when going over really rough trails.
