parkerrmmc 0 Posted March 25, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted March 25, 2005 Hello! My son is suspect to have celiac disease and I have been feeding him alot of corn on the cob (since that's one of the only things I can get him to eat). I was recently told by someone that it is typically thought to be gluten-free, but is NOT gluten-free. I knew all of you would know for sure. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
celiac3270 5 Posted March 25, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted March 25, 2005 Why wouldn't it be gluten-free? Unless there were spices or flavorings somehow added, I don't see why it wouldn't be. Unless someone is referring to corn gluten, which is perfectly harmless--it's simply the protein in corn, but it causes absolutely no damage to celiacs. We use the term gluten referring to the gluten in wheat, barley, rye, etc. but there are other forms of gluten, such as corn, that are harmless. Link to post Share on other sites
kabowman 0 Posted March 25, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted March 25, 2005 I have never heard of corn on the cobb not being gluten-free but hopefully Richard will "weigh in" with his expert opinion soon... If you are feeding him frozen, check the label. -Kate -Kate gluten-free since July 2004 Other Intolerances: Strawberries and Banannas (2007) Nitrates (April 2006) Yeast (which includes all vinegar so no condiments) (Oct. 2004) Peanuts (Nov. 2004) Soy (Oct. 2004) Almonds (Sept. 2004) Corn (Sept. 2004) Lactose/Casein (1999) Link to post Share on other sites
stef_the_kicking_cuty 11 Posted March 25, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted March 25, 2005 Yes, celiac3270 is right. Corn is glutenfree unless there are gluten containing spices and flavorings added.

KaitiUSA 9 Posted March 25, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted March 25, 2005 Yeah everyone who posted is correct corn is gluten free. There is such things as corn gluten but that is ok for celiacs because it is corn so maybe they got confused. We can't have wheat,rye,barley,oats. Unless there is a seasoning added that is not gluten free then you shouldn't worry.
