Corn Allergies?

[Guest jbugsly]

I was curious to hear who else out there has problems with corn? Corn has always hurt me worse than gluten. Anyone else out there have corn issues?

None of us have a true corn allergy, but I get a belly ache every time I eat it. It also tends to send me straight to the bathroom. I love homemade cream style corn and turkey dressing, but that is about all I will risk it for.

I react the same to corn as I do to gluten but can tolerate "VERY SMALL AMOUNTS" of corn starch in my meds. Anything more and I have problems.

I normally get a stomachache after eating corn, any kind... I was curious to see if anyone else has the same problem. Corn products such as corn syrup, dextrose, maltodextrin etc. seems to bother me the most.

My daughter has a confirmed corn allergy, but avoids it completely. I think the only thing it's in, is her Vitaballs - as corn syrup. She doesn't eat corn tortillas... corn on the cob... corn... I'm thinking she doesn't even like nacho cheese Doritos (corn chips).

Here's my theory on degrees of allergy... Let's use nuts as an example. People with a really bad nut allergy, I'm assuming, have to avoid those products that say "produced in a plant that also produces products containing nuts". So if those people with a high nut allergy have to avoid those foods..... I'd say that people with a high corn allergy must avoid *all* forms of corn as well. Melanie's allergy level for corn was like a 3.6 on the RAST test. I believe they said the high end limit of the test was 16 or 17, so I guess she's not *too* allergic. But then again... her egg level (slightly less than corn, but still a 3.x) they (the allergist) said was "hardly worth mentioning". Okay doc... do you wanna come to my house at 4am and change the bedsheets after she pukes on them? I didn't think so! It's worth mentioning!

Did I just vent?

I lost my train of thought. Hope somebody gets something out of this, I forgot what I was trying to accomplish.
