Corn And Rice

I think I might be allergic to corn and rice because I am starting to have problems every time I eat them. With corn, I have to go straight to the restroom and I get really bad joint pain. With rice, I just get really bloated, which is pretty annoying. Does anyone else have this problem? Also, does anyone know of a multivitamin that has no gluten, soy, dairy, or corn? Thank you very much.

I third it :D We use the vitamins and calcium supplements.

Corn is hard on me to in its solid form of a corn product, if its processed it doesnt bother me. Are you constipated from rice, could that contribute to your bloating?

I have swelling, redness, stiffness, and joint pain if I get any corn or rice. Corn syrup is in everything. My processed food days are over and I am only eating from scratch. It's hard but I am getting used to it. I thought gluten free was hard but gluten, corn, and rice free is a real pain.

Thankyou so much for the advice on vitamins. I will definitely be trying those. :)

Gffamily, I haven't been constipated in well, a few months. Its pretty much the big D. But, whenever I eat rice, my stomach swells up like a bowling ball along with that. Its not as bad as my reactions other things, such as sodas or gluten, but it is really annoying.

Yellow Rose, lately I've had to eat from scratch too. Its hard because I'm in school and I work, so I don't have that much time to cook. I've mostly been eating fruit, veggies, and chicken. I'm feeling a lot better but sometimes when I eat too much fruit, my stomach hurts. It is pretty annoying.

Also, I've been wondering about medicines and stuff. I take Ativan for anxiety. Would a pharmacist know if it has corn in it or is there some website that lists stuff like that? Also, I've been reading that iodized salt has corn in it. I really love salt. Does all iodized salt have it in it or just the ones that have dextrose listed as an ingredient? Besides that, how do you get iodine if you don't eat salt? Thanks again.

Caraline-

Regarding salt you can buy sea salt that has no iodine added but it still has some naturally. With the corn allergy issues I would go to delphi forums, and do a search for the "avoiding corn" area. They have a list that will help you to figure out more if its a corn allergy and what to avoid.

I have never seen salt with dextrose listed as an ingredient. Dextrose is another name for glucose, a simple sugar which is the fuel our brains and other cells run on.

Table salt that I have seen is composed of sodium chloride (NaCl) with minute amounts of sodium iodide (NaI). Nothing else. No sugar added. No corn. The iodine is from the sodium iodide (NaI) which is present in the product. Although iodine is a required nutrient to prevent goiter (a disease of the thyroid), only a minuscule amount is required. The FDA recommends 150 micrograms (0.00015 grams) per day.

:D I'm glad I saw your post, I thought I was going insane and didn't think it was possible that rice could cause my bloating. I noticed about 6 months ago after I'd eat plain white rice I'd start to get heartburn. Then terrible bloating. It isn't painful so much, maybe a little uncomfortable because my stomach swells up like I'm 6-7 months pregnant. Oh boy. I haven't found a doctor yet that understands Celiac.

I switched to sea salt to avoid the anti-caking agent which is corn derived that is in most salt. I use regular salt when I go out but when at home, I use the good stuff without corn derived stuff.

I am going to check out those vitamins too...I haven't found one locally that I could use!!!

For all the cooking from scratch, it does take time but it is soooo much better tasting and better for the family. We do a lot of our meat cooking and make large pots of soup and stew on the weekend (when we are not at a fencing tournament or a swim meet the kids are competing in) and freeze into portions we can reheat during the week. Then we just need to fix sides (did I mention that we are at swimming and/or fencing practice 4 weeknights, soon to be 5 weeknights plus Saturday mornings when they aren't competing).

Life is fun!!!! :P

PS, the salt I have has dextrose as an ingredient, unfortunately. But, it doesn't matter that much anyways, because I've given up salt completely. Every time I use it, even sea salt, it seems to stimulate my appetite too much.

Thank you for the link, Gff. I appreciate it.

Tammy, I totally know what you mean about the bloating. I'm not exactly thin, but whenever I eat rice, my stomach just goes all the way out. I'm hoping that maybe one day I'll be able to eat rice again because its actually pretty tasty.

It sounds like you have a pretty busy life Kb, lol.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      Is it gluten?

      Thanks for the reply.

      nothing has changed

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.
