I guess if I were only interested in celiac (wheat, rye and barley), I would have read the first post in this thread and, seeing it was about corn, not read any farther. But that's just me.

 

Anyway, I'm glad for you that you have no further intolerances. :)

 

and....what I would give to "only" have celiac without "additional intolerances" or other AI diseases and complications.

(which seems to be more the norm than the minority around here)

I know! My sentiments exactly!

I completely agree with you about me making any statements concerning what a corn intolerant person may eat. That's not my area of expertise, as it were. And I apologize. I wouldn't have even read that post if it had been in a forum thread devoted to "other insensitivities/intolerances" etc. Corn intolerance is not Celiac Disease. Many believe they are soy, casien/dairy, corn, cheese intolerant. And I'm probably leaving some others out here. It's very unfortunate, and I'm not unsympathetic of them. I just don't have the time and energy to follow everything. I'd rather just focus on Celiac Disease. You know, wheat, barely, and rye.

 

I'm guessing, and I'll defer to you on this, that as with Celiacs, there's a wide range in degree of corn intolerance. Some Celiacs, I'd say most, can eat foods that don't contain any listed gluten ingredients. And others are so sensitive that they must take exteme measures to avoid any possible exposure, no matter how infinitesimally small and unlikely that may be.  

 

Because of my ignorance of corn intolerance, I took one look at Velveeta's ingredients and didn't see any obvious corn.  And then when I looked up the three were discussing, I still didn't see any actual corn in the finished products. Just because a culture is grown on a medium, doesn't necessarily mean there's any of that medium left in the finished product. For instance, from those same sources, it states that even when Maltodextrin is derived from wheat, no wheat protein is left in the finished product. 

 

But I digress from the business at hand. And that's me getting out of the corn business. 

 

Again, please accept my sincere apologies. I promise to butt out of any corn business from now on.

 

best regards, larry mac 

Certainly did not mean to cause a ruckus, I think this is all a learning experience to us all. I do have Celiac, I do have corn intolerance , I did not say hubbs used Velveeta he used some off the wall brand. I am so sorry If I offended anyone by posting this. Will try and stay on topic of Celiac.

But hon, you ARE on topic. You did not offend anyone.

Do not let one person's comment cause you to feel as if you did something wrong.

If the moderators of the board did not move it out of the coping section, then we feel it's a coping issue.

You're still new at this and you were telling us how you coped with yet another new hurdle.

Am I right?

 

Please, do not give it another thought!

You got supportive replies and that's the whole point.

 

All's well that ends well. ;)

OK :) To stay on topic. I will now say being corn intolerant and Celiac and Lactose intolerant. I am considering the Paleo diet. I call them Doits :)Not Diets.  I am so tired of looking at labels and trying to figure out what is Corn and what is not.I am no scientist.  I think it will be easier for me to just not eat processed. I think all I have to give up besides processed is Rice & Potatoes , Ohhh and Beans ...I had a beginners Paleo book need to look it up. Beans and Rice <- my fav! Soooo hmmm .... Maby Monday will be my day? Eat the rest of the rice I cooked yesterday, maby have Beans and Rice for the last time :) but I have got to do something. Maby this is the way to go? This processed cheeses and Processed Cream of soups and proccessed chips and processed processed processed.... Sick of reading labels and having reactions. I know we read it here all the time. Sick and tired of being sick and tired! I have got to do something. This will be my next thing. 

 

TY IrishHeart I will try and keep that in mind. Cannot imagine being miss DX'd for 25 years!

Wendy,

 

Why not consider just dropping all processed foods for now.  You don't know that rice and beans are a problem for you.  Many of us can't eat a lot of processed foods. I get some cookies once in a blue moon but I try to keep it all one ingredient food choices.  This is much easier to do than cutting out items that you don't know if you have a problem with or not.  It is also much healthier. Do this for a good 2 months and see how you do.  You can address a possible additional intolerance at that point if your still having problems.  I know others may say to limit everything now and add back in but the corn in processed food seems to be your problem.

TY Colleen, 

 That may be easier than going on Paleo, And for 2 months sure is doable! I do know corn is a problem for me , there is no question about that. I was cooking last night and was reading ingredients and looked up and sure enuf something was corn derived so I ended out just having Chicken. Thats when it hit me about the processed stuff. For some reason it just struck me as Paleo. But I guess you have a good point. I LOve Beans and Rice :) I wouldn't have to give them up :) 2 months thats a deal! See what happens. If I am still suffering from "Something" then I will take rice away. Only because I eat more rice than beans and potatoes. for 2 months. If still problems I will cut out Potatoes. But I have a feeling just cutting out Processed will do ALOT! Thanks!

I agree with Colleen. Before you go all caveman, ditch anything from a package. Use my 5 ingredient rule: If the label has more than 5 ingredients (and I cannot pronounce half of them and even my chemist hub shakes his head and makes that face like "er, that's not food, that's just chemicals")  LOL

then, I don't eat them 

 

And for what it's worth, I have been on a primal diet for 7 weeks,....it's not horrid, but let's just say....... I still drink vodka.  :lol: 

 

Keep your rice and beans if you can!  ;)

I agree with Colleen and Irish....ditch everything processed before removing other foods.

Wendy,

 

Glad to hear you are giving it a shot.  You have learned so much already and the corn intolerance is very difficult to deal with (just ask Barty) and so many processed foods have corn deriviitives.  I'm not eating anything processed right now either (different reason) so we can do this together  :)

Yeah, I'm still eating some processed foods. I went without them for a long time and when I finally found gluten-free/corn-free ice cream and gluten-free/corn-free potato chips, I jumped on them.

 

As a matter of fact, I found a new (to me) brand of potato chips the other day. The health food store was out of Kettle Brand but they had Boulder Canyon Olive Oil chips. Now, I love Kettle Brand but they are incredibly greasy. I mean if you tip the empty bag the greas will actually drip out! These Boulder Canyon chips are not as greasy and even if they were, we all know olive oil is good for us. So yeah, I'm still getting the salt and the calories, but I don't feel quite so guilty. And they are yummy. :)

It's a deal Colleen :) 

 

Bartful I do have some chips I like , They are "Better Made" made with cotton seed oil/ Palm oil and sea salt. I will miss them for a while but Ohhh well! I will get over it for two months. At least it's not in the middle of summer where there are partys all the time. This is a good time to do this.

Yesss the five ingredient rule looks like something I can do! I had a week of rehearsals, performances and late nights which meant living mostly on the only packet of crisps in the vending machine I knew were gluten-free. And now I have flu for the first time in five months. I think my body would appreciate the five ingredient rule...

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
