Yes, they are highly processed to a level that they are considered safe for those with Celiac Disease, regardless of the source, in the United States.

They are three different things. Maltodextrin and dextrose are safe ingredients.

Dextrin is not safe if it is derived from wheat, but wheat would have to be clearly disclosed on the label in the US (and Canada).

Dextrose

An ingredient made from starch, including rice, corn or wheat. It is a highly processed ingredient that is gluten free no matter which starch is used.

Dextrin

Dextrin made from corn, potato, arrowroot, rice, or tapioca is gluten free. It can be made from wheat, though this is rare and would not be gluten free. If dextrin is made from wheat, "wheat" will appear on the label.

Wheat dextrin is not used in the US. And if so, it could possibly retrain trace amounts of gluten, well under the 20ppm standard. It is commonly considered gluten free in the United States.

      What really bothers me is if worrying about getting cc‘d from touching the same door knob as others touched is valid. Seems like an extremely unlikely way to get glutened but i read people saying that.    If thats true then theres realistically zero chance i dont get cc‘d in a non gluten-free household unless i Cook Everything myself and wash my hands multiple times in between and store all of my stuff separately

      Welcome to the forum, @Mrs. Cedrone! Among the various causes for canker sores, are "Nutritional problems like too little vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, or iron" https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/canker-sores Could you be deficient on something?

      I have been a diagnosed Celiac for over 30 years.  If I even get any type of cross contamination I end up in the hospital.  Recently I have been getting "cankers".  I am assuming that this is a result from something I am eating.  any insight would be greatly appreciated.  I follow an extremely strike diet as result and this is something new that has popped up.  I still get very ache sometimes and fatigued.  Thank you.
