Corn

I read somewhere where a few people were discussing corn intolerance, and for the life of me, I cannot find it. Anyway, I have a question. I can eat popcorn fairly well, but yellow corn, yellow tortilla chips send me to the bathroom in just a short time. Would anyone know the difference?

Here are a few that mention corn. I found these with a search on the board. To find where the mentionings of corn are on a particular page, hold down on CTRL and hit F. This will bring up a window to search for a specific word. Type in corn, press find, etc.

Good question! My daughter is allergic to corn, but she will eat popcorn. That's it though - she doesn't eat any other form of corn, whatsoever. I too have wondered if maybe it's "no longer corn" once you pop it. Kinda like how french fries aren't a vegetable. :lol:

I looked it up and found everywhere that if you have a corn allergy, you need to eliminate all forms (and the sites listed tem).....this list included popcorn. I guess you can react differently (or not at all) to different foods the way we may react to a certain form of gluten more violently or differently than another.

I am with Viola, french fries, I always though they were a vegetable. What are potato's then?

"Potatoes are a starch. You need to completely eliminate them from your diet to lose weight."

When I was told this, I informed my "friend" that potatoes are a staple vegetable, with many nutrients in them. Just don't pile on loads of fatty sour cream, butter, and cheese! The Irish in me cannot live without her potatoes!

French fries supposedly have too much oil to be considered a vegetable, just as cookies have too much sugar to count as a bread.

That's a logical explanation.

I also cannot live without potatoes :D

The corn used for popped corn is not the same corn used for tortilla chips. It has a different composition - including significantly more starch, which is what allows it to pop. The small difference in composition - if you don't have a true _allergy_, just a sensitivity - may make the difference for your body.

You're right about popcorn not being the same as vegetable corn. It's actually an air pocket in the kernels that heats up and explodes causing the starch to cook and fluff. We grew it for a couple of years when the kids were small. Don't know if you remember it Tammy :)

It can apparently cross pollinate with the vegetable corn, which makes it the same family. We didn't have the problem as we had enough garden space to separate the two.

It's very low in sugars which may make it much easier to tollerate. Vegetable corn is very high in natural sugars. :rolleyes:

It is also possible that the corn tortillas, etc. were produced on lines dusted with wheat or on the same lines that flour tortillas were made the day before. I have no trouble with popcorn or corn tortillas, but cooked corn will send me running every time.

I love your analogy!! That's too cute! If you bake the fries, instead of frying them, are they still not a veggie? And would they be called "french bakes" instead of "french fries"? :lol:

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      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.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      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.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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/
