The Old Corn Meal Question


Seeking2012

Recommended Posts

Seeking2012 Contributor

I always thought I was "Silent Celiac," but I discovered that I'm not as "silent" as I thought...I was just blaming the carbs for the foggy brain and fatigue when it was probably gluten all along! I'm still learning...

 

So, I'm in search of a truly gluten-free cornmeal. Anyone found it? I just ate Aunt Jemima corn meal and I've got foggy brain, fatigue, tiredness, weak muscles, etc. Anyone else get that? I seem to have no GI symptoms, its all brain and energy for me.

Bobs red mill has gluten-free corn meal and gluten-free corn flour (fine ground).  I use those.  I know there are others out there, but due to possible CC, I would definitely pick one up that is labeled gluten-free and tested by the company.

I have read on this site that some people have gotten sick or glutened from Bob's Red Mill gluten-free products. Is this still happening?

I have no problem with Bob's Red Mill.  Sometimes there is confusion whether it's a different ingredient or really reacting to a very small amount (tested under 20 ppm).

No one in my family has ever had a problem with BRM...six of us have been using these products for over five years.

My boys all like the corn bread mix from BRM. We haven't had any noticeable problems over the last couple of years.

I think that the BRM problems come from people with an additional oat sensitivity.  Last I heard they process their gluten free oats in their gluten-free facility.  When I called, they told me that they clean well between runs but there is that slight cc possibility in case of an extreme oat sensitivity.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
