Cutting Out Corn

Gluten free for two months; much better, but still having some unexplained reactions. Food diary suggests corn (had corn on the cob last thursday, was sick all week; popcorn last night, threw it up; had a bunch of jelly bellys (corn starch) and felt not great for a day a few weeks ago). If I have to, I'll go to a full-on paleo diet or elimination diet to figure it all out, but given how hard gluten-free has been, I'm inclined to try just cutting out corn first. So my key question: do I have to go whole hog and cut out everything with any ingredient that could possibly have corn, like with gluten, or is it enough (at least to try to start with) to cut outactual corn, popcorn, and things with a high quantity of corn based ingredients? For example, I love Reese's Pieces, but corn syrup is an ingredient in there somewhere. What do you all think?

You have to go "hole hog", unfortunately. Like gluten, corn is everywhere! Hopefully, Bartful will chime in. She has recovered from a corn intolerance -- so there is hope!

I addressed this question on your other thread.

If I remember correctly, you do not have Celiac? Or weren't tested? I am getting dizzy jumping from one topic to another.   :o  Maybe keep some of these questions in one place with all the info we need to know?

 

 

Maybe it's not gluten but something else? You might need to go to a few basic foods and slowly add things back to see if any food is your real issue.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.

      I would pressure the lab to do the IgA control test for free so that you won't write a poor review about their testing services. You could get this done at any time, whether or not you are gluten-free, however, the celiac disease Tissue Transglutaminase tTG-IgA test must be done after you've been eating lots of gluten for around 6 weeks. This way you could salvage the results of your tTG-IgA test, as long as you were eating lots of gluten beforehand.
