Corn Syrup & High Fructose Corn Syrup

[FitNut]

I have been dianosed almost 3 weeks ago with celiac. I am trying to figure all this out. I am confused about the corn syrup. I have read that some are ok, How do I know which are? Also, I seem to experience a skin rash after I eat gluten by mistake, is this caused by the gluten?

Thanks

I have a huge problem with HFCS, corn syrup, and now corn oil, I think. This has been since pre-diagnosis. I did not test intolerant to corn, either. Did your doctor tell you to go off corn syrup, or do you have problems with it? You could be having a cross-reaction, or you could be getting glutened.

I have not been told by my dr. but just by reading, it suggest some corn sryups. So I have been trying to eliminate them. There is so much that contains corn sryup.

I avoid anything with corn syrup but that is because I have a corn intolerance (not allergic in the true sense of the word).

FitNut- Where did you read about eliminating corn syrup? I would be interested in reading that!

If corn is a problem for you? Corn no matter what -- is corn... It will be a problem.

Good luck, I know how difficult it is I also have a problem with corn. It's in everything even medications.

in terms of gluten, corn syrup and hfcs are safe.

I'm not certain I understand. If you aren't corn intolerant, then corn syrup and HFCS are NOT a problem. They do not have gluten.
