who knows ask others don't disturb
is starch more bad then gluten
no
No. There is corn starch, potato starch, rice starch...
they hand out candy at school, and i have a wheat allergie, and the starbursts they had did have wheat and gluten in them ( mofied food starch )
I believe tapioca starch.
I believe that Chicklets Fruit Flavored Gum is not Gluten Free, because of its Modified Food Starch. When The Ingredients Label lists Modified Corn Starch, that is okay. Or even Modified Food Starch (Corn), is fine. But plain old Modified Food Starch is the thing to avoid if Gluten Intolerant. :)
no because my friend who has a gluten allergy can eat potatoes.
Rice, Potato, Corn to name a couple. Their starch flour is safe as well - corn starch, potato starch etc
Uh, not unless you replace all of the gluten containing ingredients with non-gluten containing ones. In other words- NO. How could corn starch possibly reduce a protein in the first place?
Yes, it is. I had the same question. I was concerned about the "modified food starch" that is in the list of ingredients. This is basically hidden gluten, unless it specifies that it is modified corn or potato starch. I googled it and all of the sites say it is gluten free.
Corn starch does not trigger the autoimmune response in celiac disease. It contains a form of gluten (a type of combined grain protein), but not the same form as wheat, barley, rye, kamut, spelt, and triticale.If the corn starch is not contaminated, it is safe for celiacs.
When a food label reads "modified food starch", they are telling you that there is some kind of starch in the product. It could be wheat starch, corn starch, tapioca starch, rice starch, etc. What you should do if you see modified food starch is call the 800 number on the pack of the product and specifically ask them what kind of starch is in that product. In North America, modified food starch is safe for celiacs. In other countries, you must contact to find out which starch it is from.
