Maltodextrin and Pain

Maltodextrin is in much of your
food supply now.

For many this means diarrhea, cramps
bloating and pain.


Maltodextrin is now a common food additive.  It's so common that sometimes it's hard to avoid.  You could easily be experiencing regular bouts of illness and believe you were in real trouble when it is just a food additive that can be avoided if you commit to reading ingredients.  

​The symptoms can be intense.  You might think you have  IBS, the flu, chronic pain, fibromyalgia or worse.

Maltodextrin naturally promotes the growth of bacteria in the gut.  That bacteria will encourage inflammation and ultimately chronic pain.  
Cancer, Crohn’s Disease and kidney malfunctions are also linked to maltodextrin.  Additionally, it spikes the blood sugar without nutrient value and can easily be stored as fat, causing weight gain.  

And, why is it in your food supply?  Good question.   Maltodextrin is used as a thickener for foods and pharmaceuticals.  Because it is made from rice, potato, barley, corn or wheat, it can be found in products advertised as “all natural" and "vegan."  Most of what you'll find will likely  be made from GMO products.   Check your salad dressings, frozen yogurt, candy, baked goods, fat-free products, sugar-free products candy, supplements and even Cheetos.

Please spread the word/data behind the dangers of Carageenan as well! It's in almost every brand and type of milk alternatives, and that's just the beginning of the list!

Carageenan is far more toxic than I first realized. It's used to rapidly cause Inflammation in the digestive tracts of lab mice for testing pharmaceuticals, etc. It's now a common additive to Skim & 1% milk, half & half, ICE CREAM, Buttermilk, even baby food & anything where a creamier texture is desired by the industry. Recently I sampled a Mexican canned evaporated milk product called "Crema" (by Nestle') before realizing it was made of only Evaporated milk & Carageenan. It burned my mouth, tongue, throat, and just a small amount caused my RA to flair. It should be removed from all food!

You're right. Carrageenan is a bit under the radar. It is getting far more use and because it began as a natural seaweed product it can be used in products that declare they are all natural. What is not said is that it is processed and ends up becoming a carcinogen.
