Del Monte Canned Corn

Has anyone ever had an issue with Del Monte canned corn? Their website mentions that to the best of their knowledge the canned fruit and veggies are gluten free but want to make sure others have used them with no problems.

We have never been glutened by plain canned veggies. We never buy creamed corn though. We purchase all brands -- whatever is on sale. I stock up in the Fall for our Earthquake kit. Last year's cans get donated to the food pantry.

Enjoy!

I have heard other people say they don't use the creamed corn, I haven't tried it yet, but the ones in my pantry all say corn starch is the thickener. Anyone actually have experiences with cream corn? I want to make a corn pudding for thanksgiving :-)

I have not looked at a canned of creamed corn in a long time because there is nothing like homemade. Frozen corn, cream (heavy whipping or 1/2 and 1/2), butter and cornstarch. Just make a basic white sauce (with the butter, cream and starch) found on the box of starch or online and add cooked corn and salt and pepper for taste. Tastes even better with fresh, but corn is not in season at Thanksgiving.

Learning to make a basic white sauce allows you to make so many dishes like Turkey ala King when you are using leftovers.

My mom used to make a corn casserole using Ritz crackers, but everyone likes just the plain creamed corn now. Our whole dinner is gluten free with four celiacs in our extended family.

I have used canned creamed corn once or twice - for a recipe where it was a small part of the whole.  I think, by itself, its not very tasty.  I would read the ingredients carefully because we know there is something to thicken it.  I try not to use canned veggies because I don't think they are as tasty as fresh or frozen.

i've used several different brands of creamed corn - just make sure to read the label very carefully.  and, like kareng, i used it as a part of a recipe (georgia spoonbread - yumzza) not a big canned veggie fan, either.   but i have never had a problem with canned fruits or veggies.  (the less ingredients, the better) as long as i remember to read the labels :)

Thank you all. I was referring to just plain canned corn and not creamed. I did not have an issue with it so worked out fine,

      gluten-free stool softener needed for after surgery

      By Jenny (AZ via TX) · Posted

      Can anyone recommend a gluten-free stool softener?  I’m having surgery soon and the surgeon recommended taking a stool softener with pain meds after surgery. I have had celiac for about 17 years but no need for stool softener until now and when looking for one am getting mixed results as to what is gluten free. From what I’ve found, it looks like Colace clear gel may be gluten-free but still unsure. I have found that MiraLAX is gluten-free but is a laxative, not a stool softener. Thanks so much!

      If possible find quinoa with a gluten-free label--when grown in Peru or Ecuador it is far less likely to have wheat contamination. Canada increasingly is producing more quinoa, and when grown there it the likelihood of wheat contamination is higher.

      Refractory celiac disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Grahamsnaturalworld What exactly do you include in your diet?  Do you keep a food journal to track symptoms? Have you tried an elimination diet like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  It's very strict, but I found it excellent for reducing inflammation, calming the immune system, and promoting healing in the gastrointestinal tract.   The AIP diet was developed by a doctor who is a Celiac herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, who wrote The Paleo Approach.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Sometimes vitamin deficiencies can manifest as gastrointestinal problems.  Which symptoms do you have currently that make you think your refractory?  How long have you been on a gluten free diet?  When were you diagnosed?

      Diagnosis confusion

      I think @trents may be correct here, and you've caught celiac disease in its early stages. A gluten-free diet might be the safest approach.

      Welcome to the forum, @Garlic! This kind of question is always a gray area and the answer must be nuanced. Ideally, every celiac should stay away from any potential source of gluten, however small. But we don't live in an ideal world and sometimes it is appropriate to take risks as long as the risks aren't too large and the consequences not too drastic. Realize these companies work hard at covering their butts against possible litigation so they often err on the side of abundant caution to guard against this. And Costco is a very conscientious organization as well. In reality, cross contamination from shared equipment is usually not a significant threat except to those celiacs on the ultra sensitive end of the spectrum. Do you fit that category? Note, we are talking about cross contamination from using shared equipment, not other sources of CC such as happens in cultivation, transportation and storage. I mention that because some types of products are typically heavily cross contaminated in these other ways. A prime example is dried legumes.
