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.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
