I am having a MAJOR moment because this morning i reacted to corn, it was whole corn, not flour. I have been on an elimination diet and so far corn, potatoes, gluten, white rice and bananas. I think i am reacting to starches. But sweet potatoes seems to be fine, Any ideas? I have reacted to 3 of the 4 things i tried. I am hungry and getting sick of steak and mushroom for breakfast lunch and dinner.

The corn wasnt as bad reaction as the pototoes. I react to corn the same way i react to bananas so weird. My aunt has a problem with fructose (a type of sugar) and bananas is the only fruit that is fine for that! I thjnk my problem maybe with starches

I react to processed corn (i.e. in gluten-free breakfast cereals), but not to any kinds of potatoes. Sorry to say I have no idea why! Have you gotten allergy tested? What kind of reaction do you have?

hi, the reaction is just diarrhea. It was corn on the cob, not processed.

Potatoes give me a bad stomach ache then diarrhea really bad, i get lots of other symptoms with potatoes.

I am getting blood tests for common allergies. Results are back on monday or tuesday. :-)

Corn and potatoes (nightshade family--you will often react to tomatoes, peppers, aubergine also) are very common intolerances along with gluten. I have read of a few people on here who react to rice, and some to bananas. Sometimes these intolerances are temporary and you will be able to eat these things later once you have healed. Sweet potatoes are a good and nutritious starch, although you can get tired of them (I know!) Do you react to any other fruits and vegetables? Can you eat chicken and fish? Steak and mushrooms is really not an adequate diet, as you know. Can you eat something like kiwifruit? frozen blueberries? On your elimination diet what have you not reacted to?

Common allergies or common food allergies? Usually the food allergies need to be requested in addition to the common allergies.

I'd love to eat steak for breakfast, lunch and dinner but I'm a huge red meat eater. I've tested low on amino acids so my nutritionist told me to eat more red meat. Now is she'd said eat more chicken I would have been in trouble.

Hang in, try to find a few foods that do not bother you. Stay with those so your digestive system can rest and start to heal. Take your time introducing new foods and wait a few day in between introducing the next new food.

Is corn deadly nightshade family? I have already gone off deadly nightshades, but is corn deadly nightshade?

I have only tested 4 things so far and reacted to 3. I think i may have a problem with chicken and pork definately pork it makes me feel really sick when i eat it. but i will have to test it properly.

yes I have been told sometime intolerances are temporary. I reacted to corn like i reacted to bananas so i am hoping that i can have corn. I dont love corn but its much harder to cut it out! because it is in so many things. that is why i had a moment this morning!

It was a test for Common food allergies.

That is the problem i am having trying to find food i dont react too! I have tried 4 things and reacted to 3. So i wanted some direction as to what i should try next and maybe what i should avoid for a while as i might react to it.

No, I'm sorry, I should have put a comma after corn; did not intend to imply it was a nightshade. Funny, I can eat the corn in New Zealand, but not in U.S.; think it has something to do with the genetic modification. It is hard to keep corn out, and soy, along with the gluten. I went to a restaurant the other night and there was only one thing I could have on the menu, a salad, and I had to ask them to take the grapefruit out. :o Everything else had gluten, corn, cream, tomato, potato, citric acid of some kind. AND they wouldn't cook the steak without the flour!!! :(

But hang in there, because this phase of intolerance will pass once you heal and you will be able to add more things back in. If you could do fish that would be good for you, some cod or flounder perhaps? How are you with dairy??

Thanks for that i need a bit of encouragement.

the corn is reacting badly now. I have bad stomach cramps. I usually get this within about 20 minutes of eating potatoes, so i am feeling so sorry for myself today!

Dairy and lactose I am not sure of. I have been lactose free for 3 months and completely gluten free for 7 months. I have just gone off deadly nightshade for about a week. I am still using butter and lactose free milk which i seem to be fine on (crossing fingers and toes). I am getting a test for dairy so i will see on monday or tuesday.

I am taking multivitamins that i will go off in case there is something in them!

Sorry you're having these problems! I can relate, unfortunately.

I'm starting to think I need to avoid ALL grains (rice, corn, sorghum, millet, etc...). I've heard this from a lot of people on this board, especially the people on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. You might be interested in this....it's the diet people have turned to when the gluten-free dairy-free diet isn't working as well as they expected it to.

There's a separate thread here for the SCD diet (warning: it's incredibly long! 150 pages!!):

Anyway, good luck!!

Is your elimination diet being guided by an allergist? The reason I ask it because you state you are still consuming dairy products. This is going to seem hard but you need to eliminate the butter and the milk. You may have an issue with casein and your reactions to other foods may not be reactions to those foods but to the dairy that you have not deleted. You also should not be adding foods back in until the reactions are totally resolved. You also need to add in those foods one at a time for a week without butter or other condiments.

thanks for that. i have already gone off all dairy, and tested butter and lactose free milk, they both seem to be fine. I have gone off all other dairy though. All i am using is a little bit of butter some days and lactose free milk in my decaf every day. I those two items are ok because my no 2 get solid again even when i eat them. But I will do another test just in case. I like to test things twice if i can.

I am trying to work out which vegs are lower in fibre in starch to test next any ideas?

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      @BlessedinBoston, it is possible that in Canada the product in question is formulated differently than in the USA or at least processed in in a facility that precludes cross contamination. I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a...

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      No,Lindt is not gluten free no matter what they say on their website. I found out the hard way when I was newly diagnosed in 2000. At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁. Took me a while to get around to checking them and was heartbroken when I saw they were absolutely not gluten free 😔. Felt the same when I realized Twizzlers weren't either. Took me a while to get my diet on order after being diagnosed. I was diagnosed with small bowel non Hodgkins lymphoma at the same time. So it was a very stressful time to say the least. Hope this helps 😁.

      @Jmartes71, I understand your frustration and anger.  I've been in a similar situation where no doctor took me seriously, accused me of making things up, and eventually sent me home to suffer alone.   My doctors did not recognize nutritional deficiencies.  Doctors are trained in medical learning institutions that are funded by pharmaceutical companies.  They are taught which medications cover up which symptoms.  Doctors are required to take twenty  hours of nutritional education in seven years of medical training.  (They can earn nine hours in Nutrition by taking a three day weekend seminar.)  They are taught nutritional deficiencies are passe' and don't happen in our well fed Western society any more.  In Celiac Disease, the autoimmune response and inflammation affects the absorption of ALL the essential vitamins and minerals.  Correcting nutritional deficiencies caused by malabsorption is essential!  I begged my doctor to check my Vitamin D level, which he did only after making sure my insurance would cover it.  When my Vitamin D came back extremely low, my doctor was very surprised, but refused to test for further nutritional deficiencies because he "couldn't make money prescribing vitamins.". I believe it was beyond his knowledge, so he blamed me for making stuff up, and stormed out of the exam room.  I had studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I switched because I was curious what vitamins from our food were doing in our bodies.  Vitamins are substances that our bodies cannot manufacture, so we must ingest them every day.  Without them, our bodies cannot manufacture life sustaining enzymes and we sicken and die.   At home alone, I could feel myself dying.  It's an unnerving feeling, to say the least, and, so, with nothing left to lose, I relied in my education in nutrition.  My symptoms of Thiamine deficiency were the worst, so I began taking high dose Thiamine.  I had health improvement within an hour.  It was magical.  I continued taking high dose thiamine with a B Complex, magnesium. and other essential nutrients.  The health improvements continued for months.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct a thiamine deficiency because thiamine affects every cell and mitochondria in our bodies.    A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function.  The cerebellum of the brain is most affected.  The cerebellum controls things we don't have to consciously have to think about, like digestion, balance, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, hormone regulation, and many more.  Thiamine is absorbed from the digestive tract and sent to the most important organs like the brain and the heart.  This leaves the digestive tract depleted of Thiamine and symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency localized in the digestive system, begin to appear.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi include anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, headaches, Gerd, acid reflux, gas, slow stomach emptying, gastroparesis, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, incontinence, abdominal pain, IBS,  SIBO, POTS, high blood pressure, heart rate changes like tachycardia, difficulty swallowing, Barrett's Esophagus, peripheral neuropathy, and more. Doctors are only taught about thiamine deficiency in alcoholism and look for the classic triad of symptoms (changes in gait, mental function, and nystagmus) but fail to realize that gastrointestinal symptoms can precede these symptoms by months.  All three classic triad of symptoms only appear in fifteen percent of patients, with most patients being diagnosed with thiamine deficiency post mortem.  I had all three but swore I didn't drink, so I was dismissed as "crazy" and sent home to die basically.   Yes, I understand how frustrating no answers from doctors can be.  I took OTC Thiamine Hydrochloride, and later thiamine in the forms TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Benfotiamine to correct my thiamine deficiency.  I also took magnesium, needed by thiamine to make those life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins, so the other B vitamins must be supplemented as well.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   A doctor can administer high dose thiamine by IV along with the other B vitamins.  Again, Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine should be given if only to rule Gastrointestinal Beriberi out as a cause of your symptoms.  If no improvement, no harm is done. Share the following link with your doctors.  Section Three is especially informative.  They need to be expand their knowledge about Thiamine and nutrition in Celiac Disease.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test for thiamine deficiency.  This test is more reliable than a blood test. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Best wishes!
