Until 2006, when companies have to start labeling allergens, you have to call the company if "modified food starch" appears in the ingredients. (This doesn't hold true for the companies that have a policy of listing gluten containing ingredients, like Kraft.)

Like tarnalberry said call the company and that is always a good policy!

Hi, welcome! I'm also fourteen...on the gluten-free diet for 11 months...

Yes, modified food starch CAN contain gluten, but doesn't always. You should call the company if you find that on a label except for with some celiac-friendly companies, such as Kraft (as tarnalberry said). Kraft will label any source of gluten or other common allergens (soy, etc.) on the lables in parentheses if they are hidden in another ingredient (such as natural flavors, artifical flavors, modified food starch, etc.)

I also don't mind answering any questions you have about the diet, etc. :)

17 and gluten-free for, oh somewhere around 3 years or so

it would be best to avoid modified food starch

check the list here, and if you dont know about it, then contact the company and ask if its gluten-free

ttry using rice milk. My bro has been milk free since he was an infant. Just make sure you read the side because we just recently found out that rice dream contains barley protein!!!!! So read the side. The stuff we now use if called natura rice-um. Weird name but it says Gluten-free on the side. It's almost like real milk.

Hope this helps!!! :)

I'm back to answer my own question...the vanilla flavored kind is not gluten free, and it's possible that there might be some cross-contamination into the regular kind, but people have reported back with no ill effects from it...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley...

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
