I think corn is one of the worse starches around, especially when it's processed a lot, such as in pasta. Again, gluten-free is not starch free. Gluten is not a starch. If you are eating any bread or pasta, then you are probably not going low-starch. You need to avoid all grains (corn is a grain), potatoes, bananas, puddings, and anything with starch added (which includes most processed foods).
Yes, it sounds like a lot of trouble, but it's worth the real effort to have pain levels greatly reduced. I went from getting ready to apply for disability, due to the pain, to now functioning quite normally with only an Aleve each day.
