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:

Just kidding ... I'm still counting French Fries as 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:

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
