Cornmeal

I've been hesitant to try recipes with cornmeal because I haven't researched the gluten status. Bob's Red Mill not being packaged in a gluten-free package made me nervous about all cornmeal. So rather than start from square one, I thought I'd try here instead. I found a post that someone uses Kinnikinnick cornmeal. Anyone use any other brands? I've never seen Kinnikinnick cornmeal at our little natural foods store.

Thanks for the help!

Isn't all cornmeal gluten-free? I thought it was.

I saw some at W-mart that listed wheat.

I just had a big issue trying to find cornmeal and I posted it somewhere on here. I'm pretty sure I called Bob's Red Mill and was told their cornmeal is made on lines that make things with wheat. I went with Arrowhead Mills because they were the only place I called that said they thoroughly clean the machines and frequently test for any gluten.

it might have been the person you spoke to - Bob's Red Mill packages now say they are certified gluten free. That person might not know this. go to the web site here Open Original Shared Link and they show a picture of the packages that are gluten free. It's possible some of the corn flours are not, but you can be sure that in that case those packages won't say "gluten-free" on them...as for me, I use BRM too, for grits, for fine cornmeal (for things like cake and spoonbread), and for medium grind (I use that to cover the pans when I bake bread) but for pancakes I prefer Arrowhead Mills.

Yes ... Bob's Red Mill makes a wonderful Gluten Free Cornmeal...I use it for the Cornmeal Pancakes that I make...

Kids love these

Cornmeal Pancakes

1 cup of gluten-free All purpose Flour Blend

(I used Namaste Perfect Flour Blend, the xanthan gum is included in this)

1/3 cup cornmeal (I used Bob's Red Mill Cornmeal because it is declared Gluten Free)

1T Sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder

1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

----------------------------

1 large egg lightly beaten (or equivalent egg substitute)

1 cup milk (or milk substitute, soy or rice, or almond milk)

1 Tablespoon Molasses

1 Tablespoon Butter Melted

-----------------------------

Lightly spoon flour blend into measuring cup and level with a knife.

Combine flour blend and the next 5 ingredients in a large bowl

Blend with a whisk.

In a separate bowl,add beaten egg, milk, molasses and melted butter

Add wet ingredients to dry and blend with a whisk lightly

The batter still should have some lumps.

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto a hot griddle that

has been greased or sprayed with non-stick spray.

Cook as you would any other pancake, till bottoms are lightly browned

Serve with gluten-free Maple Syrup

I have been using Arrowhead Mills cornmeal and just discovered that they also have a blue corn meal. I think my next corn adventure will be Blue Corn Dogs. I just made them with yellow corn (the day before I discovered the blue corn at Whole Foods).

There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
