Well, just goes to show how stupid I cna be. :( I saw "Strawberry Soda" for 59 cents per 2 liter, "Big K Brand", and I was like that sounds good. So I bought it (I often buy thier diet cafine free cola soda for a cheap drink). Poured a cup, took a drink and was almost knocked over by how sticky sweet it was, so I looked at the ingredients... MODIFIED FOOD STACH. :(:o:( Got to comfortable with so many safe soda's I guess... ugh.

Now I get to sit and wait for it to hit me.... :(

If its made in the US, its probably corn starch....does it say where the starch came from?

Did you call the company?

You will probably be ok...

MFS is very, very rarely wheat. And we're getting to the point with the new labeling law now where it would have to be listed.

I thought it was always wheat unless stated otherwise. I seen Modifed Cornstarch Starch in things, but never Modified Wheat Starch?

MADE IN THE US it should ALWAYS be corn if it just says Modified Food Starch... it's when it is made in other countries that you have to be careful. With the new labeling laws if it is wheat it has to say it like this Modified Food Starch (WHEAT)

you are always better off safe than sorry... so don't feel silly... I'm sure I've done equally silly things because of this diet.

Silly? Nope. I would have done the same thing. Sometimes I am downright paranoid about contamination.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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/
