Does anyone know what wheat starch is and if it is safe for IBS (D)?

Wheat starch defined, courtesy of Asia Food Glossary:
"Wheat starch
A starch derived from wheat. Also known as non-glutinous flour and wheaten cornflour, wheat starch is the by-product when gluten (derived from wheat protein) is made. Although a suitable substitute for cornflour when thickening, it really comes to the fore in the tender pouches of translucent, pleated dough that enclose tiny, tasty steamed morsels of Chinese dim sum. Don't be confused by the packaging: wheaten cornflour is not a feat of genetic engineering, but merely a misnomer. It is actually a fine wheat starch."
It's completely safe, unless you're gluten-intolerant.
