I Think I Might Have Corn Back!

Not that I want to eat a lot of corn products anyway, but I bought some potato chips from the grocery store that said they were cooked in "sunflower oil, and/or corn oil". Now maybe this bag was just sunflower oil, but I didn't get sick. Or it could be that, as I have read, there is no corn protein in corn oil. But I'm ready to buy some Ore Ida fries and try them. (After a while. I still get joint pains if I eat too many potatoes.)

 

And the pizza sauce I ate yesterday didn't have any corn syrup, but it did have citric acid listed. I know citric acid is not ALWAY from corn but most of the time it is. Yeah, the joint pain was worse this morning because tomatoes are a nightshade and I didn't give myself enough time after binging on potatoes a couple of weeks ago, but I had none of my corn symptoms at all.

 

If I could get corn back it would make my life a thousand times easier. As I said, I wouldn't go overboard because I don't want to eat a lot of GMOs, but I could buy bagged salads! I could buy less expensive ice cream! Oh, the whole WORLD of different foods it would open up for me!!!

Congrats! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I have been allergic to eggs, nuts, garlic and milk forever. Then I keep questioning myself, "maybe it is just an intolerance and not an allergy". "Maybe my allergist was wrong and I finally grew out of my allergies even though my siblings and nieces have the same food allergies and they have not grown out of them yet." So, I started eating cheese, no major tummy issues anymore (like nausea, indigestion within seconds, vomiting), except for a bit of indigestion and a tiny bit of nausea. Unfortunately, my nose still clogged up (the horrors of mucus) and I got severe body aches even taking an antihistamine! So, I think I may no longer have a lactose issue (no bloating) but I am still allergic to milk proteins! Darn!

I am back to dairy free. My egg and nut experiments have failed too. The good news is that my reactions are no longer swift and brutal. My immune system maybe calming down thanks to my celiac disease dx and as a result, a gluten free diet.

I'm wondering if the grapeseed extract has anything to do with it. I've been taking it daily for the past few months. It is an anti-inflammatory. Because I can't take aspirin or other NSAIDS, I thought this would be useful. A friend of mine suggested it. He is 80 and in perfect health. Anyway, my jaw thing ALWAYS acts up when I either get sick or upset. I had a cold a couple of weeks ago and on top of that I found out my landlord at the shop forgot to pre-pay and lock in the price on propane. (That means if the price skyrockets like it did last year I'll be paying massive amounts for heat this year. :angry: )

 

Anyway, I was sick and I've been stressed, but my jaw hasn't flared up. I attribute it to the grapeseed. Maybe that has something to do with getting corn back too.

You may have corn oil back. From what I have heard, the oils are a bit different than the actual grain or nut. For example, some people with a peanut allergy seem to be able to tolerate peanut oil. Not sure who would be brave enough to test it? I know a kid that had the peanut oil tested in the hospital and he was fine with it. Expands your world a bit.

Yeah, and I have read that corn syrup is made from corn starch which has no protein in it either, so MAYBE...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I made it through the holiday w/o being glutened. I had my brother cook with gluten-free breadcrumbs and I didn't get sick. I baked cookies with gluten-free flour and had dry ingredients for cookies in ziplock bag. I also made gluten cookies as well and guess I did good washing to avoid CC.

      What do you mean it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again. I think if this helps cross contamination when eating out at a non dedicated gluten-free restaurant this would be nice not to encounter the pains. But is their a daily enzyme to take to help strengthen the digestive system?

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Am I nuts?

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
