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

[Guest AutumnE]

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!
