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. :)

      Bitters for digestion?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.
