Thank you to the many people who took time to respond.

One person stated that they used store brands such as Kroger, Walmart and 
Winn Dixie and never had a problem.  Trust the label.  Dixie Lily makes a white 
cornmeal.

A couple people suggested Quaker for cornmeal while another said they were 
told by Quaker that grits are run on machines that process wheat they should 
be avoided.  However, Quaker Quick Grits were safe.

Other companies mentioned were Bob's Red Mill - cornmeal, grits or polenta.  
Arrowhead Mills for finely ground cornmeal.  Masa harina was suggested as an 
option but is more dense.

One interesting comment was "Corn, unlike oats, is most likely to 
contaminated with soy which is harvested at the same time in late fall &amp; the 
same size grain --and very different from wheat.  The most likely source of 
contamination would be from oats, so any gluten contamination in a trace 
amount of oats--which would be gf if pure, would be to small to worry about.

Joan Wade, President of Sylvan Border Farm Gluten-Free Products uses 
cornmeal from Coosa Valley Milling and has them tested at the University of 
Nebraska.  They always come out "Below the Lower Level of Detection".  I've 
enjoyed the cake mixes from Sylvan Border.

Coosa Valley Milling, 30620 Highway 25 South, Wilsonville, Alabama 35186
phone: 205-669-6605.  Ask for Frank McEwen.  Corn meal - fine ground, 
yellow or white.  

Finally, on Delphi Forums, the Saunooke Mill in Cherokee, NC grinds grits (white 
and yellow) as well as cornmeal and corn flour.  This mill has never ground 
anything other than corn.  http://www.cherokeesaunookemill.com 

Again, thank you to those who took time to respond to my query.
