Corn, Rice, And Wheat Allergy?


Sixela

Recommended Posts

Sixela Newbie

So my husband will be undergoing a biopsy next week to determine a diagnosis of celiac. This is after tests showed anemia without a cause. He was previously told that he had a severe corn allergy and a minor rice allergy, now presuming that this test comes back positive, what am I supposed to feed someone who is allergic to corn and wheat and rice...seriously...I'm trying not to get ahead of myself but our grocery budget skyrocketed with just the corn allergy. I don't know what we're going to do. As well, I have heard of a corrolation between depression and celiac...does anyone know any more about this link?

Though I do not have allergies, I am intolerant to corn, rice, wheat and ALL GRAINS. The corn thing is a bit tricky, since I think corn (in its many forms) is even more prevalent than gluten! Processed foods can be risky. My advice is to stick with NATURALLY gluten-free foods that are NOT grains. You can eat fresh, frozen, canned, just watch for additives and ingredients:

SALAD VEGETABLES

STARCHY VEGGIES

BERRIES/MELONS/FRUITS

DAIRY PRODUCTS (cheeses, some yogurts, milk, cream, ice cream, etc.)

NUTS and SEEDS

MEATS

EGGS

BEANS AND LEGUMES

BUTTER and OLIVE OIL

The list goes on and on!

If you're concerned about baking, there are many non-grain alternative flours out there. Almond flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, soy flour and coconut flour are just some of the flours you can use that are grain-free. Do a search for SCD (specific carbohydrate diet) recipes, as the SCD does not allow grains. All SCD foods should be legal, as should all paleo foods.

If you are looking for a few pre-packaged convenience foods that are grain-free, try these:

larabars

boomi bars

cheesesticks

yogurt (check ingredients)

nuts (check ingredients)

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
