Okay. Reread labels and did a bit of research. All of the baked goods that I know have set me off have potato starch in them. While researching that a bit, I discovered guar gum can act as a laxative. Some of my baked goods have that while others use xanthan gum.

So now I'm wondering if potato starch is the trigger. If that is the case, is there a way I can eat it without it creating problems for me? Reintroduce it slowly? Add yougurt or something high fiber to my daily diet? I know those with one food problem tend to develop others. I was hoping I wouldn't. I've never heard of potato products being a problem for celiacs. Lots of other things but not potatoes.
