What to use for starch if grains are out?

[Sasha]

Well, you can test for leaky gut (I'm doing mine today). I'm all for experimenting with diets to possibly feel better - I've been doing it for years. I just think it's a huge stretch to connect all grains to gluten because of possible "cross-contamination," and to use this idea as the reason to stop eating grains.

How do you test?

You drink a little bottle of something, avoid fructose (food list provided), and collect all urine for 6 hours. Then you overnight 2 samples back, and get the results by email 7-10 days later.

Can you buy lab tests directly in the UK?

Thanks - we need a doctor's request for lab tests here. I can look into it though.
