Back to Leah - cornstarch in juice

[Guest guest]

Hi! Allergic to dairy and soy -- yee gads. What does she drink?

If it helps, had cornstarch mixed in fruit punch gatorade

when she in the hospital. We used smaller amounts of the

cornstarch, and we had to SHAKE it really good. Smaller amounts so

that the color didn't change much -- and put it in a colored glass,

so that if the color did change she didn't notice (taste doesn't

change if it is shook well.) Sleeping from 8-7am without the

cornstarch, with the ketones she is spilling, is the recipe for

disaster. So somehow we have to figure out a way. Oh man, I just

thought of something -- I am NOT a cook. Is cornstarch wheat or

gluten????
