I know you can buy the gluten free bags of icing sugar.....just wondering if the icing sugar in the grocery store that list ingredients as sugar & corn starch are safe to eat. Thanks in advance!

Sounds safe to me. But, as always, I'd call the company to be 100% sure. I always buy icing sugar from a regular grocery store without any problems.

I use Domino's Confectioners (10x)--never a problem :)

Most icing sugar is gluten free. If you're in a bind, you can always just make your own. It's really easy.

I buy Redpath, but once they were sold out, and I went over to Wal-Mart looking for it, and their brand (Great Value) was NOT gluten free. It had wheat starch, NOT corn starch.

I'm in the US. Great Value brand in my Walmart is gluten free and marked as so.

I'm also in the U.S. and the WalMart Great Value brand had wheat starch in it. I'm in Michigan.

Wow! That's scary! My bag says gluten free on it. I wonder if they changed it or if it just varies by plant.

I'll have to check at another WalMart sometime. I thought it was odd because so many of their brands say gluten free. I'm glad that I read it first because I almost just bought it.

      Simple Mills and Made Good Foods Products May Contain Gluten Levels Above the FDA's Allowable Limit of 20 ppm

      yes, definitely old news by now. I posted in response to a reply posted on this topic this week. Sticking with the original story, I googled product recalls related to MAM's original claims. Did not see any so I am guessing MAM's claims of gluten contamination did not hold up to scrutiny. Trying to be objective about that whole controversy, to me GFW...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I'm 63 and was diagnosed in 2010. Prior to diagnosis I was suspected of having to strokes and medicated according each time. A neurologist called me in to discuss my scan. From that discussion I had a camera down and celiac disease was confirmed. I suffered continued pain and numbness down my left side and was offered amitriptyline, and antidepressants that...

      @jenniber, it would be pointless for your brother to get tested for celiac disease if he has already gone gluten free. Doing so invalidates the testing. He would need to undergo a "gluten challenge". That is, he would need to go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, or the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread)...

      I'm 63 and was diagnosed in 2010. Prior to diagnosis I was suspected of having to strokes and medicated according each time. A neurologist called me in to discuss my scan. From that discussion I had a camera down and celiac disease was confirmed. I suffered continued pain and numbness down my left side and was offered amitriptyline, and antidepressants that was also diagnosed for nerve pain. I said no as I didn't want the stigma of being on antidepressants. Seven years later I begged my GP to prescribe them and my life was changed almost immediately. If I'm glutened accidentally whilst eating out then my nerves pain/symptoms get worse but it's nothing compared to taking the medication and feeling a little drowsy every now and then.  The best of luck for the future.

He would need to undergo a "gluten challenge". That is, he would need to go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, or the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for several weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw.

      How much gluten do I need to eat prior to testing?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, that might work as well.
