Gluten Free Corn Starch

I am writing this for my wife, who is new to forums and their inner workings.

We have been experimenting with gluten free baking, and have not had any luck finding a brand of corn starch which is 100% gluten free. I purchased a wonderful book on amazon .com titled "Gluten-Free Baking Classics" by Annalise G. Roberts, and it has already proven an invaluable resource. Unfortunately, many of the bread recipes call for corn starch.

If anybody can help, we would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you all. B)

I use Hodgson Mill.

I have also noticed more store brands are 100% Corn starch. The product doesn't have to say Gluten Free on it for it to be Gluten Free.

thanks j mommy for your reply.

the funny thing is that i've used Hodgston Mill corn starch and had allergic reaction to their product. I think they might be sharing equipment with wheat.

I think Argo brand says gluten free. It's available everywhere here.

Yep--Argo says "A gluten-free product" on the box--it's what I use. :)

"Canada Corn Starch" in a pale yellow box, with a blue banner and a rooster on it is gluten-free. It is manufactured (in the states, I think) by ACH and says gluten-free right on it.

Argo for me too... if you try Argo & find you are still having issues with it , maybe you are having a overall corn in general issue... perhaps then you may need to find another thickening agent to replace it with.

hope this helps

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis Cleared up With EpiPen, etc.

      I had to rush to the hospital last week due to anaphylactic shock from taking a dose of an antibiotic. Received EpiPen, steroids, antihistamines, zofran (all injected/IV). When I woke up the next day, ALL of the rashes I've had that started since going gluten free were cleared up. EVEN THE dermatitis herpetiformis was gone. Has anyone else experienced this...

      Exactly! Negative genetics can rule out celiac disease with close to 100% certainty. It takes tTg antibody testing and biopsy confirm the diagnosis in a genetically susceptible individual.

      Test interpretations

      What Dr. Gunn states is essentially true. It is a rule out measure. But be aware that to possess either of the two primary genes that have been identified with celiac disease (or both) doesn't necessarily mean that you have or will develop celiac disease. Almost 40% of the general population carries one or both but only about 1% of the general population...

      Have you had celiac genetic risk testing? A celiac genetic test is accurate with or without gluten in your diet. If you don't carry the celiac risk genes you can effectively rule out celiac disease for life.

      How Social Media Algorithms Are Fueling Gluten Anxiety: TikTok, Reddit, and Instagram Trends

      Good, balanced analysis. I liked the comparison of the different platforms in this context. Fwiw, the same essay largely would work if you substitute any of many contemporary topics. As a moderator of this site, have you stepped back and considered how this site fits into this essay? Personally, I don't think I have enough visibility into the comments...

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis Cleared up With EpiPen, etc.

      By MogwaiStripe · Posted

When I woke up the next day, ALL of the rashes I've had that started since going gluten free were cleared up. EVEN THE dermatitis herpetiformis was gone. Has anyone else experienced this or happen to know why that would happen? The meds they gave me were all meds that I've taken to try to resolve the rashes, but they never worked in pill form. I'm wondering if it the addition of the epi that helped, it if injected steroids and antihistamines were what did the job.

But be aware that to possess either of the two primary genes that have been identified with celiac disease (or both) doesn't necessarily mean that you have or will develop celiac disease. Almost 40% of the general population carries one or both but only about 1% of the general population will develop active celiac disease. It remains latent until triggered by some stress event which may or may not occur. So, there is a genetic component to celiac disease but there is also an epigenetic component.

      Based on those results alone, it’s not possible to say you have celiac disease. The test that is usually most specific for celiac, tTG-IgA, is negative in your results, and the endomysial antibody (EMA) is also negative, which generally argues against active celiac disease. However, your deamidated gliadin IgA is elevated, and your total IgA level is also high, which can sometimes affect how the other antibody tests behave. Another important factor is that you were reducing gluten before the test, which can lower antibody levels and make the results less reliable. Because of that, many doctors recommend a gluten challenge (eating gluten regularly for several weeks) before repeating blood tests or considering an endoscopy if symptoms and labs raise concern. It would be best to review these results with a gastroenterologist, who can interpret them in context and decide whether further testing is needed.
