Corn Products And Gluten

I'm confused about corn. I've read the post about Bob's Red Mill not labeling their corn products as gluten-free because it is produced in the regular mill. They wrote that as soon as they get gluten free corn to mill they will label it as such. Is all corn purchased in the U.S. somehow contaminated with wheat because of the initial grain storage or something else?

I was ready to make a pie crust with some Rapunzel organic corn starch (paid a whopper for that) and read, "May contain traces of wheat". Ugh. Does anyone know of corn products (chips, starch, anything) that is actually labeled gluten-free?

Thanks,

Still muddying my way through here :unsure:

I use plain old Argo Cornstarch that I get at the grocery store. It's labled gluten-free, and I've never had a problem with it. :)

Personally, I would not buy a product that says "May contain traces of wheat", although, I don't recall ever seeing that statement. The other rule of thought would be that this is a CYA statement.

I do tend to buy corn products with the least amount of ingrediences in them...chips, corn meal, corn starch.

I use Argo as well and have never had an issue. Good, cheap corn starch. :) Its found at most grocery stores and is labeled gluten free right on the box. Clabber Girl baking powder also says gluten free right on the can.

I was wondering the same thing. I just commented on another thread about how I made that shortcake recipe and how much we enjoyed it.

Angie, yours looks so good!

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      Most recent gluten challenge guidelines call for the consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for at least 2 weeks. When celiacs have been on gluten free diets for long periods of time, they often find that when they consume a good amount of gluten, they react much more strongly than they did...

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      Will definitely keep you posted. We live in Japan and will fly to Australia for the endoscopy end of April so until then, for the next ten weeks, we will just start adding gluten daily. 2 slices of white bread a day is what the guidelines seem to say. But I welcome advice from members here who have done successful gluten challenges. I know they...

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      @melthebell, keep us posted. We are learning more and more about gluten disorders as time goes on. One of the things that has become apparent to me is that gluten disorders don't always like to fit into the neat little pigeon hole symptomatic and diagnostic paradigms we have created for them. There seems to be a lot more atypical stuff going on than we once...

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      Thanks very much for taking the time to write. I have been reading a lot about this and it definitely is not straight forward. My first port of call is the gene test - probably should have had it done before we left Australia because they don’t run the test in Japan. So I’ve ordered a third party test kit and just swabbed his cheek. Then we start the glu...

      Most recent gluten challenge guidelines call for the consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for at least 2 weeks.  When celiacs have been on gluten free diets for long periods of time, they often find that when they consume a good amount of gluten, they react much more strongly than they did before going gluten free. They have lost all tolerance to the poison they had when consuming wheat products regularly. That is certainly the case with me. A couple of years ago I accidentally consumed a wheat biscuit my wife had made thinking it was a gluten free one and it made me violently ill. So, I mention that as I don't know if your son has started the gluten challenge yet.

I know they are not always successful.    I have also read I should monitor his growth. Is that really a concern for 10 weeks of gluten consumption? He is growing and has always followed his curve but he’s no basketball player at 20-25th centile.
