Modified Corn Starch

:unsure:

I have a relative that bakes awesome carrot cake & banana loaf that's gluten free. He recently asked me about modified corn starch... telling that he did not believe it was gluten free and I should not be eating it... I was under the impression that as long as the ingredients indicated that is was corn starch I was ok. Can someone please confirm it is safe or not safe???

Thanks,

Alissa

Modified Corn Starch is gluten free.

In the US Modified Food Starch is generally derived from corn. If not from corn it will be listed as "Modified Food Starch - Wheat".

Enjoy the banana and carrot cake :)

Lisa is correct on all aspects, as usual :) The confusion is with modified food starch.

ENJOY!!!!!!

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      I have a very timid tummy after 13 years of strict gluten free. If I try to eat like my pals, I burn.

      No red meat

      I particularly try to get lots of red meat, mostly beef. I'm slightly anemic, which isn't uncommon in celiacs. Red meat is healthy for us and the environment.
