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!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
