The short answer is yes, it does. Are you sure you're not consuming any gluten?

And you're also sixteen, that's enough to make anyone depressed

Off course it does...

I always feel really depressed after eating gluten by mistake, eventhough my life really rocks!

Try checking your food for any kind of hidden gluten sources!

I am very depressed also when I get gluten. It is aweful and it was one of my symptoms before finding out. I got gluttened this past Saturday night and yesterday was miserable!

I don't know about the corn. What symptoms are you having. You could try eliminating it from your diet. I think that would be the only way to tell.

Go see your doctor and tell them how you are feeling. Make sure you get the help you need.

Lauren,

I would suggest getting allergy testing done by a qualified allergist. They test for all common food allergens, including corn. I have a mild allergy to corn and several other foods in addition to being gluten intolerant. There are different types of allergy tests available. I'm not sure what the latest and greatest technology is for allergy testing but mine was the skin prick test. They can also do it by a blood sample but I'm not sure which is considered most accurate. The type of testing I had done was over $1000.00 but my insurance paid for it.
