Cornmeal Question

Hi folks,

If I buy enriched Cornmeal (I have Great Value brand), is it all safe?

Like would Aunt Jemima cornmeal be safe?

It says it is processed in a facility that processes wheat , eggs, ect.

But it should be OK right?

I can get Arrowhead Mills cornmeal at the health food store here, but its $3.00. Where Aunt Jemimna is only a $1.00 for the same size package.

I ran into the same thing not long ago when I went looking for cornmeal for the first time. I chose the Arrowhead Mills and haven't had any probblems. I just can't see how it can be processed in the same facility and not be contaminated and I have gotten sick from contamination like this. I'm honestly not familiar with how these facilities are run so until I have more info. that would allay my concerns, I'll err on the safe side and pay more.

I'm really not too picky about shared facilities, but I prefer to get flours from dedicated lines or facilities. Walmart brand corm meal is not from a dedicated facility. I use Kinnikinnick cornmeal.

We use Kinnikinnick cornmeal and cornflour too and breadcrumbs, guar gum and rice bran.

I get corn bran from somewhere else: I don't recall right now.

I use Quaker and haven't had any problems with it.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
