Okay so I know that if the label says "modified food startch" the my girls can't have it unless I call, which means I just don't buy it, I assume that it's the same for modified "anything" startch, but I have heard someone comment that modified corn startch is different and that I don't have to check.........

I really need to know what the deal is.

What about "modified potato startch"?

help!

oh, and what the heck is Maltodextrin, I read in one book that it was safe and in another that it wasn't....... same thing with MSG, one book says it's safe and the other says it's not....

Modified corn and potato starch are fine. So is maltodextrin. MSG is safe from a gluten perspective. Many people get adverse effects from it, it really is not good for you.(in my opinion) Modified food starch on a label from a company that will not hide gluten (kraft, Con Agra, etc.) is a matter of reading the label. They will list the source of the starch if it is wheat. If you are not sure about the modified food starch, always call and find out what the source is.

Patti is right. In addition, within a few months or so even the modified food starch will be safe if it doesn't say wheat because the new labeling law requires it (companies can still use their old labels so you can't trust it quite yet). I've never heard of MFS being from rye or barley.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      Diabetes and Hashimoto's as well, huh? You are the epitome of the autoimmune cascade effect. That is, once you get one autoimmune condition you tend to develop others. But I am curious. In the sequence of these several autoimmune diagnoses, where did the celiac diagnosis come? You certainly have a lot of health issues to juggle.

      AND, just diagnosed abt 6 months ago with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. I was just feeling like I was getting that under control with Creon when I started feeling worse again.

      So, you have a couple of strikes against you when it comes to nutrient absorption efficiency.

      Weird Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Vozzyv, Certain nutritional deficiencies can cause tinnitus, ringing in the ears.  Vitamins A and D, Thiamine B1, Riboflavin B2,  Pyridoxine B6, Folate B9,  Cobalamine B12, magnesium, zinc and Vitamin C can cause tinnitus individually if deficient.  The malabsorption of Celiac Disease affects all the nutrients our bodies need.  Many of these nutrients work together to keep us healthy.   Talk to your Nutritionist and doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals while healing.  Eat a nutritionally dense diet.   Tinnitus has been bothersome to me, but supplementing with the B vitamins, especially Thiamine, Vitamin C, and Vitamins A and D has really helped me.
