I am new to this, as some of you may know by now. Okay here it goes,

1. maltodextrin said to be okay if made in the us

2. carmel color said to be okay if made in the us

3. modified food starch no unless specified corn

4. Natural flavors and things like this get me on the phone, and even so I make sure its not made on the same equipment as gluten products...

Is any of this accurate because this is what I am going by....Please feel free to correct anything....

To the best of my knowledge, those are all good.

And, to the best of my knowledge, you can consider yourself one pretty savy celiac for knowing all those as well. :)

Yep...looks pretty good. Modified Food Starch is good most of the time but if not specified you need to call.

Isn't modified food starch is sometimes tapioca too?

I believe it can be..but that would be fine for celiacs...it will be safe 9 out of 10 times but if it doesn't say modified dorn starch or specific like that and just says modified food starch then you need to call the manufacturer

i'm sorry, i dont remember the product, but i had something that said modified food starch (that's all), and in the french ingredients it say maize/riz (corn, rice). I am allergic to rice, so I called, and they said they use a mix. so it was rice based, too. still safe for most, but i wanted to add that in.

See....I thought that Maltodextrin is fine all the time. That DEXTRIN is said to be ok if made in the us - they are two different things. Anyone aware of this or am I just totally confused?

:huh: OK, question. Is it true that Kraft and Unilever and a few other manufacturers will label allergens? So does this mean that the "modified food starch" on their labels will definitely state if it is wheat? If it doesn't say does that mean it's corn? This can be sooo confusing <_< . Just when I think I'm getting a handle on it I get glutened!! :o

If the food starch is wheat, it has to be listed by law under the new allergy labelling legislation. Beware of old labels, though. If the label says modified food starch and it's a trusted company like Kraft or Unilever, it's always corn unless otherwise stated.

Thanks for the info! ;) Do you know if Hidden Valley Ranch dressing or dip mix is gluten-free. I read the label and don't see anything incriminating but I read on another post that it's not gluten-free.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
