High Fructose Corn Syrup

Post gluten-free, (and pre gluten-free, actually), I have the worst problem digesting anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup in it. I have noticed a consistent pattern- I injest, there's the cramps, then I'm in the bathroom all day. I think I must have a fructose intolerance/malabsorption. I know I've read some on this being possibly related to Celiac. I'm having such a hard time finding things to eat on top of egg, sugar, lactose, multiple fruit intolerances on top of the gluten. Has anyone else noticed improvement on cutting this out-totally?

It exagerates my hypoglycemic symptoms, so I generally avoid it. that's about it, though - I don't have a problem if I have small quantities of something with this ingredient on occasion.

I avoid it because I've read that it's sort of NON-food... just a chemical sugar that NONE of us need. It's not that hard to avoid as I'm reading the labels anyhow.

I was just reading that fructose intolerance is a big problem for a lot of people, and although I hadn't read this before, it was listed as a major intolerance along with gluten, soy, dairy. I avoid it as much as I can, and actually, since I'm trying to be gluten/dairy free, eliminating those things eliminates a lot of the fructose sources. A lot of people write that fructose is one of the worst things out there.

I noticed I have a problem with corn and so I had to eliminate all high fructose corn syrup - but - mine is not just the syrup but all corn.

I was informed by a friend of mine that high fructose corn syrup is frightening in many ways. One of them is that it turns off the body's ability to know when it's full, another is that it spikes insulin levels dramatically. I'm not sure if these other things have been documented in humans, but in rats it caused cirrosis of the liver and infertility. It's horrible horrible stuff!

What type of foods is this typically found in?

Corn syrup is added to just about everything in a jar, bottle, box, etc. Gum, pasta sauce, pizza sauce, catsup, soda, cereal, etc...it is in EVERYTHING. Unfortunately, I can't remember everything because I quit buying it over a year ago but look at everything and it is there!

You have to really look, even in a health food store, for products that do not contain high fructose corn syrup.

I am constantly amazed at all the place I find it! And, interestingly enough... I often DON'T find it in the cheap store brand of things like pasta sauce or BBQ sauce and DO find it in the higher priced brand names!!

I believe it's the main ingredient in cola. Doesn't do a body good.

I was reading that cola used to have sugar....but they found it was much much cheaper to use high fructose corn syrup...plus, it's actually very addictive and as someone said earlier, it impairs the body's ability to interpret fullness "satiety" signals. Some people hypothesize that the increased presence of high fruc. corn syrup in so many foods is behind overeating and the subsequent high rate of overweight in our society. Bottom line: it's really really bad for you and no one should eat it.

it did - and it was *so* much more delicious. if you want to see for yourself, try Boylan's Natural Cane Cola (look out - Boylan's has a "Natural" line and a regular one with artificial flavors - the Natural is not only healthier, but way more delicious.) Before I gave up caffeine, I had a serious addiction to Cane Cola. Ideally, you want some crushed ice....

Whole Foods finally replaced their cheap-o gross high fructose corn syrup in their 365 brand sodas with delicious cane sugar. There's a note about it on the cans. Another concern with hfcs is that it's often GMO corn, which is bad news for everyone.

UPDATE - GLUTEN ALERT: yikes - it's almost 2am and i'm in pain from apparently glutening myself with Boylan's Root Beer - they use the natural flavors which include...EXTRACTS. i'm guessing that's what's messing me up right now. so forget i said anything about their delicious sugar colas. this sucks. :(

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
