Gluten Free Corn Starch


tinka

Recommended Posts

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

      I think you may be correct. The way the results are printed makes it appear as though it’s the ttg iga but I think you’re right—the 646 is total iga. So this would be indicative of another issue (another autoimmune condition, infection, cancer, etc.) and my doctor would need to do further testing. Thank you for saying this!

      Are you sure that is the TTG IgA? Based on the units (mg/dL) and having an upper limit to the normal range, it looks like a total IgA result.

      I am wondering if there are any vegetarians or vegans on this forum. I’ve been vegan for 15+ years and am just finding out I likely have celiac disease (blood panel done, need biopsy). My favorite foods—outside of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds—I will likely have to give up. Anyone else?

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.

      I was taking Benefiber for my IBS-C before my celiac diagnosis. It does say Gluten Free but lists Wheat Dextrin on the label. I really dont like psyllium fiber, so is there anything else I can take or is the Benefiber really ok for someone with Celiac disease?  Thanks!!!
