Modified Food Starch

I am getting very confused. I have heard so many conflicting views on Modified Food Starch is it a yes or a no is the U.S.? Sometimes labels clearly say Modified Corn Starch, then it is clear, but how about if it doesn't specify?

Any thoughts?

Call the company if it does not specify!

It could be wheat.

No, modified food starch can contain wheat and you should call about...it is not an ingredient that is ok if made in the US. Modified corn starch is ok but if the label does not specify or just says modified food starch call to verify!

As you know with companies like Kraft that would be ok as long as it doesn't say wheat,rye,barley, or oats on the label. They will not hide anything under those questionable ingredients, they will say right on the label.

For brands that don't do that definately call.

9 times out of 10, it is corn starch (if made in the US)

But you should ALWAYS call -- you don't want to encounter the 1/10 badluck.

p.s. The 9/10 thing is not backed up by any research -- just my own personal experience. :rolleyes:

      Is AG1 safe for Celiacs??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By nataliallano · Posted

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
