Maltodextrin

My lists said MaltoDextrin is gluten-free, but I read on the forum that someone was saying it is not, this stuff is in everything and we have been giving foods with it to my son. Any thoughts?

Does anyone eat at Donatos? They make a low carb pizza made of soy, I emailed them to find out some info but they were pretty non-descript with it, has anyone ever checked this out?

Maltodextrin in the US is safe unless it states on the label. This is for all companies..not just some...it's a rule in the US.

It is different with medications though so you have to check with that but as for food it will be safe unless stated :D

I saw that someone had a reaction to it while taking it in a medication, thanks that is good news!

Checked with my health food store guy who is a celiac and he checked on the internet and there was a controversy when he googled it. It can be made of wheat, corn or rice, so it is something to be wary of. You would have to call the manufacturer of the maltodexitrim in that product to be sure of what it is made of.

It can be made of things other then corn BUT in the US they have a rule they MUST follow and they will put on the label if it is derived from wheat :D

In the medications that rule is different but Maltodextrin in the US with food is safe unless stated.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
