ARCHIVED Corn And Rice Gluten
coldandhardy replied to coldandhardy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think the labeling guys got it wrong generally too. Often they say a product is gluten free yet it often contains rice and corn products in it. -
ARCHIVED Corn And Rice Gluten
coldandhardy posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am of the understanding that corn and rice are OK for Celiac. Then one day I was looking at the Chicago comodity exchange and saw "CORN GLUTEN" being sold on the futures market. Rice also contains gluten. I thought they must be different forms of gluten but a chemist whith ADM (Archer's Daniel's Middlen) which is a company that specializes in corn... -
ARCHIVED Red Blood Cells Abnormal

I once discussed this with an animal nutritionist who argued me to the ground that it is the same gluten (chemically) that is in wheat (both are members of the grass... -

I travel as part of my work. I have often taken a container of mixed nuts along when on the road just in case I passed on a meal due to gluten concerns. Anyway this became quite a habit over time. Being a prudent spender I rationalized once that purchasing bags of cooking nuts and then mixing them and bagging them seemed like a less expensive alternative...
