Okay so I know that if the label says "modified food startch" the my girls can't have it unless I call, which means I just don't buy it, I assume that it's the same for modified "anything" startch, but I have heard someone comment that modified corn startch is different and that I don't have to check.........

I really need to know what the deal is.

What about "modified potato startch"?

help!

oh, and what the heck is Maltodextrin, I read in one book that it was safe and in another that it wasn't....... same thing with MSG, one book says it's safe and the other says it's not....

Modified corn and potato starch are fine. So is maltodextrin. MSG is safe from a gluten perspective. Many people get adverse effects from it, it really is not good for you.(in my opinion) Modified food starch on a label from a company that will not hide gluten (kraft, Con Agra, etc.) is a matter of reading the label. They will list the source of the starch if it is wheat. If you are not sure about the modified food starch, always call and find out what the source is.

Patti is right. In addition, within a few months or so even the modified food starch will be safe if it doesn't say wheat because the new labeling law requires it (companies can still use their old labels so you can't trust it quite yet). I've never heard of MFS being from rye or barley.

      Coeliac and Thyroid?

      By Peace lily · Posted

      Yes I have thyroid and have had it for over 30 years and just got diagnosed for cealiac last march.I have been complaining all the years about stomach pain weight lost hair falling out they kept blaming on the thyroid and I am over 70 years old. but what I’ve been reading thyroid,diabetes,should take a closer look,I think autoimmune plays a part.All I know is that I cook strictly gluten-free and also found if restaurants don’t have a designated gluten-free kitchen not going there. Cross contamination is a big thing .

      Taken Seriously

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Celiac Disease is not taken seriously and I want that to change. It affects one in so many ways and not being properly cared for is frustrating and inhumane. On our worst days the last thing we are thinking about is going to the the hospital.Im 54 years old and went through the celiac ringer with incompetent doctors not understanding the disease and gaslighting me when not feeling well.Ive learned so much with the celiac community and had to school my new gi whose actually listening and understanding, now, this year 2025 when i was half told in 1994 by colonoscopy and endoscopy..Pregancy doesn't affect the public but it's a reportable condition. I want to make celiac disease a reportable disease to protect the patients from being medically gaslight as I was.I want awareness, I want to not have another go through what Ive been through. In order for celiac disease to be taken seriously, I truly think it needs to be reportable disease to protect the patients. I did email Adam Gray and also my local representative.

      Aveeno products

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I use Aveeno for decades and I am dealing with skin issues and didn't think anything of Aveeno being a problem. Is Aveeno ok?I also use Yarrow pom in it which I notice helps.

      Yes, I use Aveeno Moisturizing Body Lotion with prebiotic oat, unscented. I really only use it on my hands and not every day. Haven't noticed any problems. I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
