Corn starch

Hi all. Sorry I've been absent. I've been well for the most part, just very busy but I still think of you all often.

I have a dietary question. Like 99% of you I don't eat corn, but what are your thoughts on corn starch? This new gluten free bread I found tastes great but the first ingredient is corn starch, followed by rice flour (there is no fiber in this bread). The holidays have been hard on my gut and today was not good, and I don't want to exacerbate things be eating something new that I shouldn't.

Thanks!
Mike

Hi Mike

ditto what Roni says :) I am GF and use cornflour (cornstarch) a lot as a thickener in sauces and gravy with no ill effects.

I also eat plain corn chips and nachos if they are GF but stay away from fresh or canned kernel corn as it could cause an obstruction if you have strictures or patches of inflammation.

Nice to see you back posting but sorry the hols have been hard on your gut - take care:)

Cornstarch is easy on the gut for me and helps me tremendously with "anal discomfort". It is my go-to and I love having it around for more than 1 use.

Sorry, to take this in another direction!
