An ingredient I avoid is corn and just like gluten it’s used in a lot of products you may not realize. One of those products is baking powder.
Baking Powder
Most companies add cornstarch to prolong shelf life and absorb moisture. For me it’s another thing I have to make myself but thankfully this is an easy one.
I use tapioca starch instead of cornstarch. I have found tapioca to be the starch my body can handle best. I still use sparingly. I use in a few cookie recipes and this baking powder recipe but otherwise I avoid starches. Corn, rice, and potato starch is so hard for me to break down and cause digestive blockage. The pain is not worth it to me.
