Corn Syrup & High Fructose Corn Syrup


FitNut

Recommended Posts

FitNut Newbie

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

Sheila :rolleyes:

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.

      I recently reviewed a patient with a positive tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody but negative endomysial antibodies (EMA). The patient is asymptomatic, and duodenal biopsies—taken while on a normal gluten-containing diet—were reported as normal. Given the discordant serology and absence of histological changes, I understand that the probability of coeliac disease is low. However, I would appreciate your guidance on the following: Is routine follow-up required in such a case? What is the risk of progression to overt coeliac disease in the future? Would HLA DQ2/DQ8 typing be useful here to help guide long-term management or exclude the diagnosis confidently? I would be...

      @LynnM, when you say, "today, his numbers were high", what numbers do you refer to? Are you speaking of celiac antibody scores? Can you be more specific and can you post the test names, the numbers and the reference ranges for the tests? So, I am understanding you to say that topical exposure to gluten doesn't cause him GI reactions but ingestion of gluten does but at the same time you are attributing the "high numbers" to the topical exposure?

      So I recently had blood work and my hemoglobin, hematocrit, protein and alkaline phosphatase were all low. They have never been low in the past but since august of last year I have been on the in and off gluten rollercoaster as I mentioned in previous posts. Should I be concerned with these new findings? I am worried I have made myself really sick and done damage or something this past year

      Thank you Scott. My son doesn't have a reaction topically, only when ingested. Interestingly though, the doc told us the face cream getting gluten into his bloodstream doesn't do the damage akin to when gluten is ingested. He had no reaction when using the face cream, it only presented in blood-work. I'm hopeful from all the comments today and will wait for the GI doc to reply. If he is cleared to use it, I will encourage SHIELD to get a gluten-free certification

      It’s great that you’re taking the time to research products carefully for your son with celiac disease—especially since accidental gluten exposure through skincare can be a real concern for sensitive individuals. Based on the ingredient lists you’ve shared, none of the products appear to contain obvious sources of gluten like wheat, barley, or rye derivatives. Ingredients like glycerin and tocopherols (not listed here but often a concern) can sometimes be derived from wheat, but many manufacturers use plant-based or synthetic sources. SHIELD’s transparency and willingness to share their full ingredient list is a good sign, and their note about not intentionally adding gluten is reassuring. Still...
