Hi Joanne,
Remember that in Jean's lists, the items marked with an asterisk sometimes (but not always) are derived from corn, or contain a corn derivative. This can vary by country, in some cases.
In the U. S., corn is used as a substrate for many derived (synthetic) ingredients. IOW, citric acid can come from citrus fruit (and it often does), but it can also be made from corn (and this is true in many products). Sometimes this will be noted on the label, but in some cases we have to check with the manufacturer, to verify the source of an ingredient, if there is any doubt.
For example, in the case of modified food starch (which can be made from many substrates, including wheat), often the label will follow the name of the ingredient with a note such as (made from tapioca), or (made from corn). I avoided corn and all it's derivatives when I was recovering, but I didn't worry about vanilla, (after checking the label) because as far as I can tell, corn is not likely to be used in the better quality brands of vanilla.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
