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.

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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      Celiac getting dentures

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
