Corn Intolerance/allergy People Might Even Be More Limited Than Before!

I read this article on yahoo Open Original Shared Link

The part that bothered me was the last article The March of Dimes is planning to petition the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to increase requirements that food be enriched with folic acid, which lowers the risk for spina bifida and certain other birth defects

Vitamins are usually added with corn. I think the reasoning is good but geez how limiting does corn allergy have to be?!

Autumn--you are correct. If people think it is rough going gluten free, they should try eliminating the things that contain corn, soy, and rice also. Gluten free was easy for me, especially after needing to go soy and corn free and very limited on rice. It's never easy, is it?

Guest AutumnE

It has been difficult. Gluten free seemed like such a challenge its a whole other situation with other intolerances. Im alot healthier though :) My diet generally doesnt allow junk food .

Wow! Corn is already hard to avoid and I think as hard if not harder than gluten. Last year I was in charge of the food for school parties for the kids with allergies. My daughter is allergic to 7 things (not corn), one girl had a severe peanut allergy and a boy had a corn allergy. I had the worst time coming up with anything for him to eat aside from plain chocolate that was dairy and soy free. Most of the foods that were safe for the other girls to eat contained corn. Ack!

      Thanks Scott. its been a tough journey. i haven’t been able to take any painkillers for pain, because they all contain some form of cellulose. I’m finally working with a compounding pharmacist to get compounded Ibuprofen w/o cellulose filler … I’ll let you know how that works out. when I tell doctors about my problems with cellulose and medications, sadly they really don’t understand the magnitude of the problem. My reason for responding to the original post was to let others know they’re not crazy - and there’s such a thing as cellulose intolerance. Thank you so much for your response.

      Hello @CelluloseSick, it sounds like you’ve been through a really challenging journey trying to pinpoint and avoid cellulose fillers in medications. Severe migraines and liquid diarrhea, especially with Ulcerative Colitis, must make this an incredibly difficult issue to manage. It’s frustrating how hidden these ingredients can be, and it definitely takes a lot of detective work to connect the dots. While true cellulose allergies or intolerances don’t seem to be well-documented, some people do report digestive issues, headaches, or other symptoms when exposed to cellulose-based fillers. Unfortunately, there isn’t a clear statistic on what percentage of the population suffers from this, but anecdotal evidence suggests that you are not alone. Have you found any specific resources or medical professionals who acknowledge this issue? It’s great that you’ve been able to find compounded medications with sucrose fillers—hopefully, that continues to work for you!

      Btw, I recently switched from Compounded T3/T4 ( which had cellulose in it, unbeknown to me) and was making me sick to a brand called NP Thyroid. No cellulose filler

      So happy to have found this Post. ive been struggling with cellulose fillers in meds for years. When I found out, I looked for meds that do not contain cellulose filler or have had to get compounded meds made with sucrose filler. My reactions are:  severe migraines and liquid diarrhea ( not fun when you suffer from Ulcerative Colitis). not sure what percentage of the population suffer from such allergy. you'd have to be a pretty good sleuth to find this and make the connections. Bravo for you!   anyone know what percentage of population suffers from cellulose intolerance? thanks?

      If you replace the gluten products you normally ate with gluten-free versions, and I mean the breads, be careful, as many gluten-free products can be high in calories and low in nutrients (high carb).
