I think I may have a corn intolerance , of some sort. Hubbs and I are on a lil Vaca at our Cabin :) I have brought a bag of corn chips!! OMG really ??? The pain the next morning!!I only had a hand full!!  It is the weirdest thing!! I know the culprit! Thank goodness for the food diary!! Ty everyone for that tip!! That is amazing!! I have not eaten a regular can of corn as of yet! I have had some corn in soup, and yes I have had some problems. I couldn't put my finger on it!! Now I know it is corn!! I might do another trial just to make sure! But I am pretty sure it is corn!! Any thing eles I should look for? I know some ppl get or have intolerance's to some other stuff .. This was hard to pin down!! Hopefully it is the only thing!! TY every one!!

Pining down addisional intolerances is a tricky one, I'm working on the same thing myself. How do you react to corn (if thats it)? I suspect that for me as well, but not sure yet.

If you need to avoid corn, you need to check out this website. Trying to keep corn out of your diet is about a thousand times harder than avoiding gluten. One reason is it is not considered one of the top 8 allergens, so they don't have to label for it when it is used in processing. The other reason is that it is cheaper than other things, so it is used in almost every processed food there is. I am intolerant to gluten and soy as well as corn. I have managed to avoid gluten, and I have managed to avoid soy. But I have been "corned" too many times to count.

I am intolerant to corn also. It's a nightmare. I eat only whole foods now so not so hard to avoid doing this....

I want to reintroduce but don't know where to start!!

Start with corn starch. The protein is mostly processed out of it. That's why I can now tolerate it. But even though I got it back, I lost it again for a while after a glutening. I've got it back again now, after several months.

I usually eat just a whole meat and a vegetable, every once in a while , and not too often I will have corn chips, well I also made some soup. What I experience is in the am, next morning or during the middle of the night I wake up with excruciating pain in my gut! It is sooo painful!! One time I thought I would have to call 911 on myself. But turns out it is gas! Can you believe it? So the first time I indulged in Corn Chips , made sure they were Gluten Free! I was just trying to have a lil snak! The second time was with soup! We made some Turkey soup put corn in it, had alot of other things. The 3rd time we are up north , brought a bag of corn chips. Sat up ate a handful of corn chips and sure enuf in the AM I had those pains again!! Yea it's corn I am sure of it. I can tolerate the pain if I have to. But jeeze!! Ok off to go look up that website! TY everyone!!

I have also come to realize I have major issues with corn.  I always knew it upset me and was careful with it, but now it's really a problem and I'm avoiding it as well as gluten.  In fact, I have issues with pretty much all grains.  I get away with occasional brown rice, but don't eat much and I eat it quite rarely.  But all other grains are problematic, as are the gluten free baked goods because those also contain problematic starches and other grains to make them taste good.  Corn and tapioca starch (in so many gluten-free foods) really upset me almost as much as gluten.

So ok I know I have a problem with corn , my question is this, will it damage my body? Or is it just giving me pain and gas? I know Gluten damages the villi , but what does the corn intolerance do?

Yes.  I have heard this nonsense over and over.  If it had any truth to it, in current research, wouldn't those of us that have been doing this for years and actually reading the research have mentioned it to people?  Wouldn't the Celiac centers tell people about it?  I don't consider someone who calls himself a chiropractor a Celiac researcher or expert. And it is quoting another dubious group.

It is possible that corn makes you sick.  It is possible that bananas give me gas and bloating, just like gluten does.  Does that mean the bananas have gluten? Or "cross react"?  Or are doing damage to my intestines? Of course not.

Get your info from reliable sources.  It is an actual medical center  - that might be a good source.  Some guy who calls himself a doctor and is selling products and saying stuff that seems way off from what you have been seeing - not a good choice.

I know what you mean finding from a good source, It is hard to find answers and finding a good source is easy I guess if they answer your question , without rehashing a ton of info I have read a million times. I have A.D.D. it is so hard for me to read over and over the same stuff. When I just want a yes or no. If ya know what I mean. I try and read at night when I have more quiet. :)

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.
