I know you can buy the gluten free bags of icing sugar.....just wondering if the icing sugar in the grocery store that list ingredients as sugar & corn starch are safe to eat. Thanks in advance!

Sounds safe to me. But, as always, I'd call the company to be 100% sure. I always buy icing sugar from a regular grocery store without any problems.

I use Domino's Confectioners (10x)--never a problem :)

Most icing sugar is gluten free. If you're in a bind, you can always just make your own. It's really easy.

I buy Redpath, but once they were sold out, and I went over to Wal-Mart looking for it, and their brand (Great Value) was NOT gluten free. It had wheat starch, NOT corn starch.

I'm in the US. Great Value brand in my Walmart is gluten free and marked as so.

I'm also in the U.S. and the WalMart Great Value brand had wheat starch in it. I'm in Michigan.

Wow! That's scary! My bag says gluten free on it. I wonder if they changed it or if it just varies by plant.

I'll have to check at another WalMart sometime. I thought it was odd because so many of their brands say gluten free. I'm glad that I read it first because I almost just bought it.

      thank you for the insight  Thank a small elevation can be due to this or is it more likely to be cross contamination ?

      It could be. Think I'll just have to avoid that cereal. Thank for suggestion..

      Blood Tests showed positive for celiac / Endoscopy confirmed no evidence of Celiac

      "Similar proteins to the gliadin found in wheat exist as secalin in rye, hordein in barley, and avenins in oats, and are collectively referred to as 'gluten'. The gluten found in all of these grains has been identified as the component capable of triggering the immune-mediated disorder, celiac disease." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28244676/   "However, it is necessary to consider that oats include many varieties, containing various amino acid sequences and showing different immunoreactivities associated with toxic prolamins. As a result, several studies have shown that the immunogenicity of oats varies depending on the cultivar consumed." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26557006/   "In 2007, a study showed that all the varieties of oats tested were immunogenic, with Lampton and Ava avenins inducing lymphocyte activation similar to that activated by wheat gliadin, while Astra and Nave avenins showed less immunogenicity, but still with a measurable effect.6 In 2011, a study showed that there is a wide range of variation of potential immunotoxicity of oat cultivars. It concluded some oat strains are more toxic than others." https://glutenfreeworks.com/blog/2011/06/20/why-oats-should-be-excluded-from-the-gluten-free-diet/   Silano M, Benedetto RD, Maialetti F, et al.

      I have read research indicating differing reactions to various oat cultivars, however, nothing suggesting that some contain gluten - do you have a source for that?

      For those of you who have had celiac for a long time what do your IGA and TTG IGA Levels usually show on follow up blood work ?
