Corn-free Baking Powder?

I'm just starting to think of baking again after my Celiac Diagnosis. Unfortunately, I can't do corn (or rice, or soy, or many other things). My Mumford Baking Powder in the cupboard has corn starch in it and I notice a lot of recipes call for baking powder, not soda (which doesn't have corn). Anyone know of a corn-free brand of baking powder or how to "make" baking powder from baking soda?

Thanks.

Hi 'CeliacInSanDiego',
Why not make your own gluten-free 'Baking Powder'
Added corn flour is only to stop 'Clumping' (keep it free flowing and dry)
.
1 Parts Baking Soda
2 Part Cream of Tartar
1 Part Tapioca starch (optional)
.
Keep in an air-tight jar, use as required.
.
Best Regards,
David

Thank you both.

David, if I just want to make my "baking powder" real-time, and the recipe calls for 1 tsp baking powder, would you just use 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp cream of tartar, and ok to omit the starch? (Maintains same volume of soda and tartar.)
