Good Morning,

I received more than 25 e-mail answers to my question about corn gluten.
Thanks for your kindness.  In summary :

All of them said, unless you have a corn allergy, no need to worry about corn
gluten.



One of them went into more detail so I have copied it here.  I did not get
the author's permission to do so, therefore I have omitted the name.  Hope
that's OK with the author.

=======================
Gluten is a term that means the substance that binds in grains.  It is the
gliadin a part of the specific gluten in Wheat barley and rye that is
problematic for celiacs.  Oats are a problem do to the high level of cross
contamination with other grains.

So, when we as a celiac community, say gluten we mean one thing.  But the
word actually has a broader meaning.

The bottom line is, unless you have a problem with corn or corn gluten
specifically, the term corn gluten does not refer to anything that is
problematic for celiacs.
==================

Glad to put that question to rest and thanks for your kindness in replying.

Blessings   \o/ Jean from Bucks County, Pa.
