IS pregelatinzed starch SAFE?

pregelatinized starch

From: A Dictionary of Food and Nutrition | Date: 2005 | Author: DAVID A. BENDER

Print Digg del.icio.us

starch, pregelatinized Raw starch does not form a paste with cold water and therefore requires cooking if it is to be used as a food thickening agent. Pregelatinized starch, mostly from maize, has been cooked and dried. Used in instant puddings, pie fillings, soup mixes, salad dressings, sugar confectionery, and as a binder in meat products. Nutritional value is the same as that of the original starch. See also starch, modified.

THANKS. IS IN MY BIRTHCONTROL. DO YOU THINK IS SAFE?

Medication such as birth control are not required to list allergins. What is the name brand? Who is the manufacturer? Others here may know and if not, you need to call the manufacturer.

My pharmacist told me that all drugs, prescription or not, manufactured in the US are supossed to be gluten free. However, drug companies cannot and will not verify that gluten has not come in contact with thier products. Drug manufacturers may get other ingredients used in thier products overseas and they are so afraid of lawsuits that they will not guarentee that their product is 100% gluten free, only that they have not, to thier knowledge, added gluten to thier products. This is very interesting because I have been glutened by 2 different anti-depressants made by 2 different drug companies who claim they have not added any gluten to thier products.

      Gluten Free Coffee

      By trents · Posted

      @Peace lily, can you be more specific about which coffee manufacturers have told you that their coffee is probably not safe for celiacs? What you say is contrary to just about everything I find when I research this issue on the internet, even taking into account cross contamination. The exception seems to be when flavorings are added that may contain grain products made from wheat, barley or rye. This individual tested numerous coffees with a Nima gluten sensor and found no issues: https://www.goodforyouglutenfree.com/is-coffee-gluten-free/. There may also be an issue with cross reactivity for some celiacs:  https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/is-coffee-safe-on-a-gluten-free-diet/ . Keep in mind that when you ask questions of food companies concerning whether or not a product is gluten free or "safe for celiacs" you may be getting an ultra-cautious response due to the fact that they are careful to cover their backsides when the product hasn't been specifically tested for gluten content or is not being marketed as such.

      Mallorca Guide

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      You already got some great recommendations. Just want to second that Mallorca (and Spain in general) is one of the best and easiest places for celiacs to travel. I have been to Mallorca multiple times and have never experienced any cross contaminations and there are SO many easy to buy options in regular supermarkets. Hope you have a wonderful trip.
