I have the exact same problem with corn. In fact, I think my reaction to corn is worse than it is to gluten - at least as far as abdominal pain. I wish I could give you some uplifting advice, but, really, going gluten-free was much easier than going corn-free. Corn meal and corn syrup are in EVERYTHING. I can tell you that I do feel much better now that I don't eat any corn products.

I don't know how you were diagnosed as there aren't any reliable "food sensitivity" tests.  But, if you want to avoid corn, maybe just avoid the obvious stuff and not worry about if a pig ate corn or if Xantham was grown on corn (I don't think it is).

I have had a upset stomic for a while after going gluton free and ate pop corn and had a attack.. so its the corn ... xanthan gum is made from corn protein.. so just trying to learn my stomic and what upsets it...

I addressed the problem with popcorn before.  That doesn't mean some corn might not be OK.

 

And Xanthum gum is a sugar excreted by a microorganism - it is not corn protein.

Hi there. I'm in the same boat here. I've been Gluten Free for 6 years now and recently started having a lot of symptoms come back. (Since this past Febuary). I am thinking corn could be the culprit so I'm trying to eliminate it as well to find out. I too am wondering how strict to be. People with corn allergies are advised to stay clear of Xanthium Gum but I do not know if someone intolerant to corn needs to avoid it. I am trying to go with better safe than sorry at least until I see if going corn free helps. Corn is in so very much and so much of it is hidden like Xanthium Gum, White Vinegar, and Citric Acid! I feel your pain. My trip to the grocery store yesterday was most aggravating.

I've also found out I can't handle corn.... i use the app shop well... if it has any possible corn I stay away. I thought last night I would give refried beans a try cuz they use corn or canola oil and right away I could tell ?... i also have to buy my meats from the counter cuz most company put corn starch on the meat to make the plastic from sticking ? that's what I have learned but im still learning! Good luck!!

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources.

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      While it's true that lifting heavy weights is a good bone builder, it may not be advisable for those with certain medical conditions like heart disease, arthritis and for the elderly or for those who don't have access to the equipment. Bone building drugs like Fosamax slow down the disposal of worn out osteoclasts (bone cells) and so help maintain/restore...

Now I know what it is I shall try to resume the healthy diet - the symptoms are annoying rather than painful, and I think it was doing me a lot of good, I certainly lost some pounds around the waistline (pity they piled back on again at Christmas!)

      Stegosaurus, One size doesn't fit all. Most celiacs do fine with oats and other non-gluten cereal grains. Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources. I don't agree with the position that all celiacs should eliminate all grains from their diet. This line of thinking has been promoted for years by books like Dangerous Grains which make the case on logic rather than actual real world data. Like many biological phenomenon, what would seem to be logical doesn't pan out to be true in the real world.  But if you are one of those in the minority of celiacs who cannot tolerate cereal grains at all, I'm glad that you were able to sort that out.
