I am new to this, as some of you may know by now. Okay here it goes,

1. maltodextrin said to be okay if made in the us

2. carmel color said to be okay if made in the us

3. modified food starch no unless specified corn

4. Natural flavors and things like this get me on the phone, and even so I make sure its not made on the same equipment as gluten products...

Is any of this accurate because this is what I am going by....Please feel free to correct anything....

To the best of my knowledge, those are all good.

And, to the best of my knowledge, you can consider yourself one pretty savy celiac for knowing all those as well. :)

Yep...looks pretty good. Modified Food Starch is good most of the time but if not specified you need to call.

Isn't modified food starch is sometimes tapioca too?

I believe it can be..but that would be fine for celiacs...it will be safe 9 out of 10 times but if it doesn't say modified dorn starch or specific like that and just says modified food starch then you need to call the manufacturer

i'm sorry, i dont remember the product, but i had something that said modified food starch (that's all), and in the french ingredients it say maize/riz (corn, rice). I am allergic to rice, so I called, and they said they use a mix. so it was rice based, too. still safe for most, but i wanted to add that in.

See....I thought that Maltodextrin is fine all the time. That DEXTRIN is said to be ok if made in the us - they are two different things. Anyone aware of this or am I just totally confused?

:huh: OK, question. Is it true that Kraft and Unilever and a few other manufacturers will label allergens? So does this mean that the "modified food starch" on their labels will definitely state if it is wheat? If it doesn't say does that mean it's corn? This can be sooo confusing <_< . Just when I think I'm getting a handle on it I get glutened!! :o

If the food starch is wheat, it has to be listed by law under the new allergy labelling legislation. Beware of old labels, though. If the label says modified food starch and it's a trusted company like Kraft or Unilever, it's always corn unless otherwise stated.

Thanks for the info! ;) Do you know if Hidden Valley Ranch dressing or dip mix is gluten-free. I read the label and don't see anything incriminating but I read on another post that it's not gluten-free.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      In your whole posts the red flag raised is “villous atrophy,” this is serious as it is the villi that holds the nutrients until they are absorbed into the cells of the body… the focus should be on healing of the villi while maintaining gluten free diet.

      Can celiac cause widespread pain??

      You can add Axonal Peripheral Neuropathy, Bone and Joints degeneration, Cataracts, Hypothyroidism, Gluten Bumps for those of us with dermatitis herpetiformis, and Malabsorption which contributes to so many other complications. Sadly though, other than gluten bumps all the aforementioned and many other autoimmune diseases, eventually, can and will take its...

      Oats gluten free?

      The oat protein, avenin, is not gluten. It is similar to gluten, however, and similar enough to cause a gluten-like reaction in some celiacs.

      What is the correlation in taking supplemental Magnesium with D? I can attest to Dr. McCarthy when it comes to influenza.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      I have taken D2 50K oral capsules once weekly for 7 years consecutively due to a dangerously low deficiency level of 17. It took 3 whole years before I reached D level 34, followed by higher D levels up to low 70s. Two or three times throughout the following 4 yrs my labs would show slight high TSH (hypothyroidism). Is it possible that the last 4 of the...

Sadly though, other than gluten bumps all the aforementioned and many other autoimmune diseases, eventually, can and will take its toll on the body, even while maintaining 100% gluten free. Coeliac, just like all Autoimmune Diseases beget autoimmune diseases. It’s in the cards, and inevitable, just a matter of time when. I’m living Proof!

In all 7 full years that I took extremely high weekly dose D2 50K only once did I become ill with flu like symptoms. At the time I became ill I was sharing residence with a sibling, 3 children, and 1 additional adult - a full house that was almost daily trafficked by other children and adults. Total 7 years, other than contracting Covid twice at 22 months apart, when it comes to flu illness I was practically immune.

It took 3 whole years before I reached D level 34, followed by higher D levels up to low 70s. Two or three times throughout the following 4 yrs my labs would show slight high TSH (hypothyroidism). Is it possible that the last 4 of the 7 consecutive years of D2 50K which gradually increased my D levels to 60s & 70s is causing current labs of high TSH, even though for at least the last 4 months I have reduced my D2 50K intake to half dosage, every other week vs. weekly?
