Maltodextrin In Usa Gluten-free?

Some one on another board said that all maltodextrin in the USA is gluten-free unless the label says otherwise. Is this true? Or did someone not have their facts straight? :unsure:

Maltodestrin as far as I know is gluten-free in North America. I googled it once, and discovered it was made from corn.

Maltodextrin is gluten-free in Canada and the US. Unless specifically stated otherwise, it must be derived from corn.

Shelley Case says in her Gluten-Free Diet A Comprehensive Resourse Guide that US labeling laws say that if Maltodextrin is drerived from wheat it needs to be labeled Wheat maltodextrin. She also says that although maltodextrin may be derived from wheat it is renedered gluten-free by the time it is processed. :) Kendra

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!
