I Think My Friend Has A Food Intolerance


Daisy Duke

Recommended Posts

Daisy Duke Explorer

I think my friend has a food intolerance, she has major bathroom issues several times a week. We

have figured out so far that she is intolerant to corn. Whne she eats popcorn she has a major JJF issue and runs to the bathroom. But I think there is more too it than that. She has some stomach problems too, bloated and yucky feeling. I don't think she realized that corn is in everything, just like gluten, or worse. Does anyone have a list of what not to eat with a corn intolerance? She likes to cook, and makes a lot of things homemade, so she has that on her side.

You're probably wondering what a JJF issue is! I was reading my paragraph and realized what I said. A JJF issue is what we call when we have to run to the bathroom urgently, we say we have a "Jumpin Jack Flash" or a JJF issue. That way people around us don't know exactly what is going on. Kinda screwy, but it works for us!

Here is a link to a corn allergen site, that lists all the foods containing corn.

That is so nice of you to look up things for your friend! I have Celiac, but I am also a little intolerant to corn. I have noticed that it makes me bloated. I don't really avoid it (because I don't think it is causing damage like gluten would) but I do keep that in mind, and don't get it as often as I normally would. Just my experience. Hope your friend finds some answers!

      First, welcome to the forum, @boy-wonder! Second, a little clarification in terminology is in order. Granted, inconsistency is rampant when it comes to the terminology associated with gluten disorders, but it has more or less become settled in this fashion: "Gluten intolerance" is a general term that car refer to either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Sensitivity" is the shortened version of NCGS. Third, Celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten ingestion causing the immunes system to attack the lining of the small bowel, causing damage to it over time due to the constant inflammation that wears...

      Has anyone found a gluten free parakeet seed mix? I can't find a single one! My doctor wants me to make sure all pet food in the house is gluten free but I'm not sure if that's even possible with parakeets. We love our birds so much! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made their own bird seed mix if gluten free ones are not available.

      Hi, new member. About me, I had been suffering with weight gain, bloating and irregular and extreme bowel habits for a year or so. For example, I went on holiday in 2023, then again I  2024 at the same time of year and every shirt I wore in 2023 didn't fit anymore, couldn't even do the buttons up. Being in my mid 50s I put it down to age and middle aged spread. I'd been lucky all my life having good metabolism and being able to eat anything and as much as I like without putting on any weight, it drove my other half mad. Over a conversation with a friend health and age Related stuff came up and he mentioned someone he knew who had recently found out they were gluten...

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet
