Modified Food Starch?

I have Celiac and modified food starch will make me incredibly sick within hours. Be careful of everything with it in it.

Then you are reacting to something other than gluten. In the U.S. MFS almost never contains gluten.

Since the MFS is not a source of gluten, you are probably reacting to corn or tapioca. They are the most common forms of MFS, and are gluten-free, but some people are intolerant to one or both of them.

In the G - Diet book it states that when a food product only states "starch" it must come from corn whereas modified corn starch can come from a number of substances. However if it derived from wheat they must state that because of the food allergen labeling laws but they don't have to state is from oats, barley or rye. However, the rule regarding "starch" does not apply to medicines.

Actually, I have the book in front of me. She is talking about " food starch". Not " corn starch". I would think corn starch must be made of corn, modified or otherwise.

I meant to say modified food starch. Oops!

      24 year old son newly diagnosed with Celiac

      One small study I read recently found that half of the celiacs in the study experienced small bowel villous inflammation from CMP (Cow's Milk Protein).

      Can celiac suddenly 'occur'?

      By Chloe Senora · Posted

      It’s interesting that you say this. I’ve been constipated all my life, fatigued since I got my first period, severely anemic for 2 and a half years, low vitamin D. But it wasn’t until after I got food poisoning a couple weeks ago, that I have not had a normal bowel movement since. And my drs told me to eat a lot of gluten because they want to test me for celiac, primarily because of the anemia and chronically low ferritin. Ferritin is supposed to be 14 but ideally 50-146. 2 and a half years ago it was 3.7, then 7.3, then 10.3, but now it’s 5. And a year ago I got on birth control so I don’t even get a period anymore. Almost all of my current health issues (much more than just celiac) either started or became a lot worse after I got Covid 2 years ago. If anyone has any tips for me it’d be greatly appreciated. Waiting on my blood test results, should get them in a day or 2.

      Thank you! He is avoiding all of the BROW recommended gluten culprits. He does still eat dairy and he knows about FodMap foods that have proteins hard to digest! Thanks for all the great advice! I appreciate all the comments.
