Ok So Do I Consider Modified Food Starch Glutan Or Not?

Mango, you can make fun of us, that is your option.

The discussion is more about respect than MFS. We all want to be treated with respect and we all deserve to be.

The soy discussion is a perfect example. In my heart, I feel that absolutely nobody should eat soy, I feel it is dangerous, the bad far outweighs the good, yet I never push those feelings on anyone. I also feel that no one should eat wheat anymore, we have improved it so much that it is dangerous now, yet I can't force others to believe that. Now that is respect!

Richard does not respect others, unless they agree with him. Yet, in my opinion, that is not respect, that is feeling superior. When he is called on his behavior, he double talks and makes so many excuses, then he tries to make it everyone's fault, except his. I have been a member of this board longer than he has and he has always treated me with disrepect, ALWAYS. He is a member of Delphi Forums and he is the same there. I am a member of several forums, Braintalk, Neurotalk, Celiac.com, Clanthompson, and several spiritual forums where I am a moderator. No one ever treats me like Richard does. After much reflection, I now realize, this is Richard's problem, not mine. There are people in this world who are never happy unless they are causing a disruption in some way.

God be with you Richard.

Thank you so much to everyone who added valuable info here. I think I'll play it safe and avoid the modified food starch for a while because I've been glutened a couple of times and that's the only thing that seems like it could be the cause. I'm hoping I'm not also allergic to milk, because then I'm not sure what I would eat. I've actually been pretty depressed the last couple of days :( . I haven't been eating hardly anything since I've gone gluten free and I've gained 12pds. This is so unfair. I'm starving and eating rabbit food and I gain 12pds??????? What in the heck is up with that? This really sucks!!

Thanks again for all the helpful info!!

I was making fun of myself. I really genuinely thought it was funny that I was reading about modified food starch last night. I guess I have an odd sense of humor and I thought I'd try to bring some lightheartedness to the conversation. I guess it didn't work. I really didn't mean to offend you. Sorry.

Mango - I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw some humor in this.

Mango--I am truly sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like I was upset with you. Tensions run high sometimes and things do get over done, so to speak. There are just some people in this world that God uses as a test for us and sometimes I do fail that test. Truly sorry.

Okay...wait....I'm confused!!!! I missed for a few days and missed the drama.

Are FOREIGN sources required to follow the labeling law? I think I said in my original post that the yogurt was from Aldi. I believe them to be an international company so it is entirely possible that the MFS in the yogurt and the yogurt itself was from a foreign source. Would I be correct?

And then if it is a US source for MFS, i should not be made from wheat? So maybe I'd react to ONE product containing MFS but not all?

Am I making sense?

I really am being careful about it. I mean MFS probably isn't good for you anyway even if it's not dervied from an allergen! LOL Any food that has to be "modified" isn't good! LOL :D

I'm just trying to be careful. I'm only 15 days into this new life. And I feel much better. I want to keep feeling better. The few exposures I've had to gluten in the past two weeks have been awful!

THANKS!

A product must meet the labelling requirements of the country in which it is sold.

So, if you buy it in Canada it must meet Canadian rules. If you buy it in the United States, it must meet US rules. I have seen a number of imported products in Canada with Canadian labels stickered over the ones from the country of origin (often to meet the requirement for French labelling).

In my honest opinion, until the new allergen law is inforced in the way it needs to be, then unless I know the source of the modified food starch, then I do not trust it. When I do not know, I do not touch and that is why I have rarely ever been glutened in over 5 yrs.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
