Modified Food Starch

Hello all. Question about modified food starches. I found some frozen meal made my Healthy Choice Smart One's that clearly state the food allergens. It will say wheat if wheat is in there. But I found several without wheat, but found they contain a modified food starch. If the starch isn't coming from wheat, what other form of gluten would this starch be coming food. Is this safe to eat? Thoughts?

Generally, modified food starch is derived from corn. If it is derived from wheat, it by law, must be listed as "modified food starch (wheat)" or listed in an allergen statement.

Be careful with regular processed meals. Often "natural flavor or species" could contain barley, malt or rye, as they are not required to be listed. I really have to dig through the frozen section to find a gluten free meal. I usually don't bother anymore.

Lisa, as always thank you for your insightful information. I typically don't eat frozen meals, but sometimes it's nice to eat something a little different for lunch. ;)

Hormel has some gluten free options. And some Thai soups are easy. Underwood Deviled Ham is gluten free. I mix it up with cream cheese and it's great with carrotts and celery.

Weight Watcher's Smart Ones Santa Fe Rice and Beans frozen meal is gluten free. It says so right on the box. I have one of them for lunch once in a while for a nice change.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
