 Maltodextrin  Posted by
Does maltodextrin contain gluten? I have seen this on the ingrediants of several food products but did not know if this was related to malt. What is maltodextrin, anyway? Also, does vinegar contain gluten? One piece I found said to avoid distilled vinegar and use only apple cider vinegar, but another piece I found said vinegar was fine. Any input would be appreciated.

maltodextrin is a sugar. it is a polymer of glucose and is not related to malt but rather the sugar maltose so it is gluten free

Maltodextrin is a hydrolysed starch and is not related to "Malt" which is a gluten-containing derivative of cereal grains - as in "Barely Malt

I have experienced symtoms of liver toxicity (muscel problems followed by extreme skin rash) since I began replacing sugar with Splenda, which contains maltodextrin. Does this substance share characteristics of aspertame

 Re: Maltodextrin  Posted by
8) Maltodextrin is prepared as a white powder or concentrated solution by partial hydrolysis of corn starch or potato starch with safe and suitable acids and enzymes. (1) Maltodextrin, when listed on food sold in the USA, must be (per FDA regulation) made from corn or potato. This rule does NOT apply to vitamin or mineral supplements and medications. (2) Donald Kasarda Ph.D., a research chemist specializing on grain proteins, of the United States Department of Agriculture, found that all maltodextrins in the USA are made from corn starch, using enzymes that are NOT derived from wheat, rye, barley, or oats. On that basis he believes that celiacs need not be too concerned about maltodextrins, though he cautions that there is no guarantee that a manufacturer won't change their process to use wheat starch or a gluten-based enzyme in the future. (3) - May 1997 Sprue-Nik News
1. Federal Register (4-1-96) 21 CFR. Ch.1, Section 184.1444
2."Additives Alert", an information sheet from the Greater Philadelphia Celiac Support Group, updated early in 1997. This specific information comes from Nancy Patin Falini, the dietitian advisor for the group and a speaker at a national celiac conferences in the past few years.

 Re: Maltodextrin  Posted by
I don't know, but you are the first person I have found who has had a bad reaction to Splenda, besides my husband. He is a diabetic, and when Splenda was first showing up in store products he was thrilled. He drank all sorts of juice drinks with splenda. Prior to that he had not had any artificial sweetners. within 6 months he had lost 20\% of his kidney function. When he got off them, his next test 6 months later showed he had gone back up in kidney function to what he had been before the Splenda. Interresting huh

 Re: Maltodextrin  Posted by peter
Aspratame is anything but healthy. There is TONS of evidence stating this. Even though you might not feel the effects at first, long term effects will show. Maltodextrin has nothing to do with aspartame and is perfectly heallthy (and gluten-free

 Re: Maltodextrin  Posted by Susan
I ran across this group on the web. I do not have celiac disease. I am a healthy 50 y/o woman encountering increasing numbers of food allergies. Maltodextrin is being added into a significant amount of foods, seemingly those that are not eliminated from my food allergy diet to further decrease my cache of foods I can eat. I developed severe diarrhea and flatulance and traced it to maltodextrin. I now have eliminated maltodextrin from my diet some 6 months or so, with a resumption of symptoms if I eat something containing maltodextrin. I am not allergic to corn nor wheat. My known food allergies/sensitivities are presently dairy products (allergy and lactose intolerance) and yeast breads (which cause an asthmatic bronchitis). I have run across quite a few other individual testimonies on the internet relating the same reaction to maltodextrin. My physician does not yet have any information for me regarding this. I have a similar extreme reaction to malitol.

 Re: is Maltodextrine also Malt  Posted by Laura
Thanks you for your message board. It is very helpful.

Can you tell me if Maltodextrin is the same thing as Malt? I find it in my iced tea. And, is cola a product that should be avoided.



Another point that I am confused about: Do people with Celiacs tend to be over- or underweight prior to diagnoses. I would have thought that the IBS symthoms would cause weight loss, however, a friend was telling me that if I truly had Celiacs, I would be overweight as a result of being unable to process the flour. This does not make sense to me because white flour products tend to fly through my system... practically undigested.



Thanks!

-Laura

 Re: Maltodextrin  Posted by Dawn
I have the same reaction to Maltodextrin that Susan has. It's horrible and it's popping up in more an more foods. I went to natural foods, but because it's made from corn, it is appearing in more and more natural foods too. My best advice is to write letters to the peopel who make the products and let them know that this stuff is making you sick. For every letter they get hey can assume their are a dozen or so more people who didn't bother to write. If they get enough complaints maybe they'll go back to a more basic recipe and eliminate this junk form their ingredients.

 Re: Maltodextrin  Posted by Veronica Hughes
I am another sufferer from this hideous reaction to maltodextrin, with excruciating abdominal cramps then terrible diarrhoea. In Europe they are using it in more and more foods for people with allergies, including gluten free and dairy free foods, which is a disaster for me as I am already allergic to a lot of other foods. If you search the Internet for manufacturers of food additives, they all seem to be in Asia. Maltodextrin in particular seems to be mainly exported from China. Could they be producing a contaminated product? There have been a lot of scandals where I live (Italy) concerning toxic foods and toiletries from China, where hygiene and other regulations are usually regarded as a joke. Maltodextrin is manufactured by breaking down starch using enzymes or bacteria, including E coli and other types of bacteria which are known to cause very severe food poisoning; once the starch is broken down to sugar, these bacteria are supposedly inactivated by heat treatment. What if this heating treatment is botched? When maltodextrin is sold wholesale, the quantity of E coli remaining in the product is stated to prove that it is acceptably low - isn't that disgusting? I cannot really believe it is legal for something manufactured in such a repulsive way (just because it is cheaper than real sugar) to be put into food, including baby food - yes, my baby is allergic to dairy products and the only formula milk available for him contains maltodextrin.

If anyone else finds more information on this, plese share it on this website.

I will post more info if I manage to find out anything else of interest.
