Question About Potato Starch

I am new to being gluten-free and my biggest problem at this time is recipes calling for potatoe starch. I can't seen to find it any where other than to order it on line. My question is: can I substitute corn starch for the potato starch in recipes? I would appreicate any help I can get with this. I have a friend who is also supposed to be gluten-free but she found it too difficult and too expensive to continue so she doesn't follow the diet and is really paying for it medically. I was hoping that if I can shouw her how easy (and tasty) it can be, then she would follow her diet.

I have found potato starch at my local Whole Foods in the alternative flours section. I may have also seen it at my local Kroger's in the health food section.

I would say that in most cases, substituting corn starch for potato starch would be fine. If the recipe already called for corn starch, then you might want to try a different starch or flour . . . blends of flours/starches work better in recipes than all one (or almost all one) flour or starch.

If you have a Jewish community in your area, check with them. Potato starch is used a lot in Jewish cooking.

I like potato starch. It seems to make things brown nicely.

I use corn starch for baking instead of potato starch. Sometimes 1/2 of each.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
