Modified Food Starch

How likely is it that a company uses WBRO for their modified food starch? Should I completely stay away from it if it is not specified on the label? I have heard rumors that US companies are supposed to stay away from WBRO is this true?

In the US Modified Food Starch is generally derived from corn unless otherwise stated. If derived from wheat it must be listed as "modified food starch (wheat)". Barley, malt or rye would not be an option.

Thanks for the help! That's what I thought but some girl was freaking out about modified food starch the other day and it got me wondering...

I agree with Lisa. If wheat isn't listed, it's OK.

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
