Maze Starch

Hello. I am new to this forum. I am wheat intolerent I know that for sure but have never had any test. I live in the UK and its so hard to get tested for these things. Now I find I am lactose intolerence so I don't eat wheat gluten or dairy pretty boring. I found some really nice bread call "GENIUS" it tasted just like nice white bread you can hardly tell the differance but after eating it felt so ill, pains in my joints could hardly walk, looked in the ingrediance and the only thing I can find that might do it is maze starch. Is there anyone else on here that is intolerent to maze starch? and is it gluten free?

Is one off the symptoms of celiac pains in the joints as well as tiredness? I would also like to know if there is anyone who is intolerence to corn?

If by "maze" you mean maize, that is corn and it is gluten-free. Some people are intolerant to corn, but that is an issue distinct from celiac disease.

Though it is possible that you are intolerant to corn, how do you feel after eating other corn products, such as corn snacks, cereal, cornbread, or homemade popcorn?

There is also a possibility of CC (Cross-Contamination), so the bread might not have been gluten-free enough.

Joint pain and tiredness are 2 of nearly 300 symptoms of celiac disease. Open Original Shared Link Because my celiac disease went undiagnosed for over 10 years there was a lot of damage done to the small intestine thus reducing its absorption ability. At present i am intolerant of (besides wheat, barley, rye, oates and their product) CORN, rice, potatoes (except new potatoes),sucrose, dairy of any kind, legumes, red meats, nuts and nut oils and most other oils(except coconut oil, grape seed oil, hemp oil and virgin olive oil). These dietary exemptions may seem a bit extreme, but i follow a well planned SCD and have been on it for close to 2 years without any problems. Take heart though for i know that eventually i will be able to tolerate everything i have mentioned i had to eliminate, except -of course- wheat, barley, rye, oates and their products. These i can never eat- i do not miss them, they were slowly killing me.

Hello. Thanks for the info. Can you tell me what SCD means please.

SCD means Specific Carbohydrate Diet. There are several posted. The one i follow is located at Open Original Shared Link . There is also a support website for those who follow the diet. It can be found at Open Original Shared Link With the help of both websites i have been able to compile a menu of over 600 recipes that are tailored to my specific dietary needs. If i can't make it, i don't eat it. There is very little i can't make. Eating "SCD" is a 180 degree change in lifestyle and diet. I feel very fortunate to have found this life saving dietary change.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
