Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 I want to investigate these things too, when I have more time. What are your symptoms of lactose intolerance?

Maltodextrin and Maltitol are MAJOR triggers for me, and it precipitates exceeding painful spasms within an hour of consuming it. For that reason, I avoid letting my kids eat it. Good thread. I thought I was the only maltidextrim label hawk in the world, lol.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 This is interesting - my boys are both very intolerant to this also Dextrose and all the others - they can take a very small amount of sugar occasionally but even fruit hurts except pears. They actually get a very acid stomach from the above but then maybe there is more than that to it. Regards Terri NZ Maltodextrin I'm going to break this out into a new thread.... One of the ingrediants that really knocks out both my son and I is maltodextrin. Boy do I get cranky after I have something with that in it. I know celiacs have a problem with maltodextrin. I've had the celiac blood test screening and pass (I do not have celiac). Anyone else have this issue? Any enzymes that could help, or should I just continue to avoid it?

They actually get a very acid stomach from the above but then maybe there is more than that to it. That sounds pretty close to me. I've just started working with a doctor and a food diary to investigate my intolerances. The doctor told me to investigate: Celiac (blood test was negative) Lactose (self test was positive/intolerant) Sucrose Fructose I haven't really tried to test myself for fructose intolerance. I'm suspicous that it might be phenol intolerance or salicylate sensitivity (your comments on pears just helped me find that). Also, my son & I responded extremely well to No Fenol enzyme. It looks like corn (which is where maltodextrin comes from) is high in salicylates. I'll try to take some No Fenol with a lactase pill that has a small amount of maltodextrin in it and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 25, 2002 Report Share Posted December 25, 2002 Maltodextrin and dextrose will be derived from something, sometimes a gluten product or sometimes something like a potatoe. It might be worth knowing what the dextrose or maltodextrin are derived from, it may give you an additional clue to the reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Hi all, Should maltodextrin be avoided? My friend (a triathlete) told me that some of the triathletes he knows use maltodextrin straight. They buy it at a wine-making store and add Concentrace & flavouring to make a cheap fluid replacement/nutrition drink. He also says " it's pretty much an accepted fact that during long endurance exercises one needs to assume between 300 and 400 kcals an hour, and that liquid forms are much easier on the stomach than solid. " Any comments? ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Maltodextrin is a corn product and about 30% of commercial corn is genetically modified. I noticed that NOW acerola powder which is recommended in NT contains maltodextrin. I emailed NOW company asking if the maltodextrin in the acerola powder was GMO free. Below is their reply. Janet Dear Janet, NOW FOODS is very good about making it very specific when a product is NON-GMO or GMO-FREE. If the label does not specifically state Non-GMO, or GMO FREE, there is a strong possibility that our Acerola Powder does indeed contain some GMO ingredients (Maltodextrin in this case).

Janet Hi Janet, What's the difference between maltodextrin derived from GMO and non-GMO corn? Isn't it the fructose content that is usually modified?

Not good! I'll tell my friend. Does anyone know if it's possible to buy glucose in powdered form? ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 >>>Does anyone know if it's possible to buy glucose in powdered form?<<< Pretty sure it's quite common. I'm sure I've seen it in the health food section of the supermarket. Cheers, Tas'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
