Eileen Troise, the Consumer Affairs >>Manager (914-366-9700) sent me a letter regarding their modified corn >>starch. As you may recall, an employee on their customer help line told >>me that the starch was modified using vinegar. I asked about finding out >>if the vinegar was gluten free. Here is her response: "and so on" I just wanted to let others know that I was diagnosed three and a half years ago by the Mayo Clinic. When I was first diagnosed, I was also lactose intolerant. About a half a year ago I tried yogurt and other dairy products, no trouble this time. I eat one of the small cartons of Dannon yogurt each day (just the ones that Dannon said was safe). Three weeks ago I went back to the Mayo Clinic for my follow up and they told me that I was in TOTAL remission. The blood test was perfect and my intestinal biopsy was perfect. The doctor said that if I had not come in previously ( which by the way the blood test was EXTREMELY high and the biopsy showed really severe damage to the intestine) that he would not be able to tell me that I have Celiac Sprue. Considering I have eaten Dannon products every day for the past six to seven months and I still tested perfect for not having sprue leads me to believe that their products are safe (just the ones that they claim - not the ones that are called something like cheese cake or have some kind of crumbs on top).
