Corn, rice, sorghum, is it safe?

I thought corn, rice, and sorghum were safe for celiacs, but now I'm seeing articles claiming otherwise.

I've been eating those three things in replacement for wheat, barley, and rye containing products. I feel no ill effects from corn or rich or sorghum, but now I'm scared I'm still going to have issues. Is there any truth to this or is just a case by case basis? I thought I was safe just being gluten free. Help!

Yes, they are gluten-free and safe for celiacs, although some may have issues with them, but most celiacs do not have issues:

Thank you, again! When I started seeing articles about corn and rice being as bad a wheat for celiacs, it really scared me because I love my corn and rice and I've been eating that in place of wheat ingredients. This is a relief.

      Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam

      Welcome to the forum, Liamclarke! We have reports from time to time of people whose celiac disease seems to go into remission. Often, however, it doesn't last. There is also the question of whether or not symptoms or lack of them tell the whole story. Many of us are "silent" celiacs who have very minor or no symptoms when consuming gluten yet slow, insidious damage is still going on in the gut. The only way to tell for sure in your case would be to be retested after going back on gluten for a period of weeks or months such that sufficient time has elapsed for antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. And I would certainly advise you to do that and not take anything for granted.
