Corn And Rice Allergy With Celiacs?

Hi I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and have been gluten free for about a month. My question is could someone with celiacs also be allergic to corn and other grain?. Every time I eat anything with corn or HFCS I go through the same reactions. I get horrible mouth sores,extreme thirst and exhaustion, bloatin and cramps. I'm afraid to even try rice again at this point. Is their testing for this like there is for celiacs? Help.

Secondary food intolerances are very common while your intestines are healing. I could not tolerate rice or corn and a few other things for about 4 months. I can now have rice again with no issues, but still issues with corn. You will find many with the same issues. It would be a good idea to keep a food diary to help you pinpoint foods that bother you. Most of the foods you will need to eliminate won't be forever, just until you heal up a bit more. if you use this site's search feature on food diary and intolerances, you will gain much info. Hope that helps!

I also found I couldn't have rice, but have had it a few times lately with not alot of trouble. But my rice issues also includes rice flour that is in MANY, MANY gluten-free items and those things still seem to bother me. Go figure. So much of this makes no sense. But give your gut plenty of time to heal to begin with.

i think those are common grains to become intolerant too, i'm glad to hear someone can have rice again - how did you swing that??

i've been gluten free for 3 months, but before that i discovered my nightshade intolerance first- about a year ago. since going off gluten, i've recently had to go off soy and dairy because of my enterolab results, eggs nuts and beans because of my immunolabs results, and peanuts rice and possibly avocado because of my own observations...

hopefully some of these will be more tolerable later- i'm planning to do the specific carb diet and heal my apparently leaky gut. some people find they feel best on no grains at all. maybe u should steam veggies and eat healthy meat and a little fruit for a while?

it's also interesting that everything i'm reacting to is all the same stuff "eat right for your blood type" says i should avoid since i'm type O....

I started out with so many intolerances that I did not have before going gluten-free. The list included: dairy, nuts, grains of all kinds, broccoli, cauliflower, beans, and most recently all nightshade vegetables. Dairy and nuts- I just tried once a month or so in small amounts, and was able to tolerate again. Rice- I started with a little spoonful about a month ago (about 5 months gluten-free) and gradually increased the amount. I can have about 1/2 cup now with no problems. Same with beans. Still no broccoli/cauliflower or nightshades. I had some mashed potatoes (just a spoonful) on Thanksgiving, and was ok with it, so I made a baked potato last night. I ate the whole thing, and within minutes looked 8 months preggers, so I guess they're still out:( Bummer! I have hope that all will resolve with more time.

wow that's great and i hope the nightshades come back for you too!

i'm trying to rotate things every 4 days - i was told that would help prevent more intolerances?

but then if i do the SCD i'll have to eat the same stuff every day for a little while...

what do you think

I have no experience with the SCD. You might check in with Allib, she is our resident expert. This whole intolerance thing is very tricky!

I've been off wheat for about one month. I'm just starting to feel normal...occasionally. I seem to notice trouble with corn, rice, and dairy, too. Guess I'll have to keep eliminating food groups. Sorry to hear others are going through this but it's good to know I'm not alone. Thanks to all who contribute. It's a huge help.

I found out through my PCP that I am also allergic to corn through regular allergy testing. It it not uncommon to have other allergies with celiac disease. You may also find that certain types of rice or corn (processed) may hurt you, whereas other types might not. At least that is what I've found.

Good luck. I know it is hard having just been diagnosed with celiac disease, now to deal with the fall-out.....just hang in there!

What does rice have to do with HFCS? Anyway, try pure brown rice like the lundberg brand, cooked in a rice cooker. You want to avoid Uncle Bens and Minute Rice right now. Also, try germinated brown rice.

      Newly diagnosed, struggling

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hello @CeliacNew, If you are Vegan to help you feel better, reconsider returning to omnivore.  Actually, since you are already on a very restrictive diet, transitioning to gluten free might be easier for you.  Read the ingredient labels, Particularly vitamin D and Choline require supplements for vegan diet because our primary source is sun, eggs and beef.  B12 also.

      Multiple symptoms and mixed provider responses

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Once you've completed testing and still don't have improvement, start a trial gluten free diet.  Looking for imprvement that may indicate Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, which is 10 times more prevalent than Celiac Disease. Deficiencies in vitamins B6, B12, D, and C can manifest as skin rashes.  Virtual guaranty you are deficient in vitamin D.

      Help vetting HLA-DQ typing provider

      By cameo674 · Posted

      So those rs numbers tell researchers where the dbSNP is located in a Genome so that other reasearchers or an AI system can look in that specific spot for that Snip of information.  You can look those rs # s by pasting the numbers after rs into the lookup on this page https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/ right under the Blue header bar at the top of the webpage.  Since you are not a researcher, I do not know how this will help you though.

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      By cameo674 · Posted

      So I posted here once before, and everyone advocated that I get into a GI doc.  I finally got into my functional health appointment on 6/16 to get my blood results evaluated and get the Gastro referral. I was told that I would be fortunate to see a gastro doctor by December, because of the number of people waiting to get in, but they did believe that I needed to see a GI doc among others.  Well, the stars aligned. I got home. I looked at MyChart and it showed an appointment available for later that same day. I never clicked so fast on an appointment time. The gastro doc ran some additional blood work based off the December values that had confirmed my daughter's suspicion that I have undiagnosed stomach issues.  Gastro has also scheduled me to get an upper endoscopy as well as a colonoscopy since it has been 8 years since my last one. She said it would rule out other concerns if I did not show Celiac per the biopsies.  Those biopsies will not occur until August 29th and like everyone here stated, Gastro wants me to keep gluten in my diet exactly as everyone suggested. To be honest, I was barely eating any gluten since I figured I would have plenty of time to do so before testing.  Doc is also looking for the cause of the low level heartburn that I have had for 30 years.  I have mentioned the heartburn to PCPs in the past and they always said take a tums or other OTC drug.  The upper endoscopy is for ruling out eosinphilic esophagitis, h. pylori, and to biopsy the duodenal bulb and second portion to confirm or exclude celiac. The colonoscopy will have random biopsies to rule out microscopic colitis. I didn't really catch her reasoning for the bloodwork.  Doc looked at the December numbers and said they were definitely concerning for Celiac.  She also said, “Hmm that’s odd; usually it’s the reverse”, but I did not catch which result made her say that. She seems very through.  She also asked why I had never bothered to see a GI before.  To be honest, I told her I just assumed that the heartburn and loose stool were a part of aging.  I have been gassy since I was born and thought constantly passing gas was normal?  Everyone I know with Celiac have horrible symptoms that cannot be attributed to other things.  They are in a lot of stomach pain.  I do not go through that.  I attribute my issues to the lactose intolerance that comes with aging, but have slowly been eliminating foods from my diet due to the heartburn or due my assumption that they did not agree with a medication that I was prescribed. I have already eliminated milk products especially high fat ones like ice cream; fats like peanut butter; acids like citrus and tomatoes; chocolate in all forms; and breads more because it is so hard to get in 100 grams of protein if I eat any foods that are not a protein.  I would not have even done the testing if my daughter had not brought up the fact that she thought I might have an undiagnosed condition since she has issues with bloating and another sibling has periodic undiagnosed stomach pain that GI docs throw pills at instead of helping.  Who knew that Bristol scale 5 and 6 were not considered normal especially multiple times a day? I watched my MIL go through basically the same bowel changes starting at 50 so to be honest, I really did think it was normal before this week's appointment.   December 2024's blood tests ran through Quest Labs were:  Deamidated Gliadin (IgA) 53.8 U/mL Above range >15.0 U/mL; Deamidated Gliadin (IgG) >250.0 U/mL Above Range >15.0 U/mL; Tissue Transglutaminase (IgA) 44.0 U/mL Above range >15.0 U/mL; Tissue Transglutaminase (IgG) <1.0 In range <15.0; Immunoglobulin A (IgA) 274 mg/dL In range 47-310 mg/dL 6/16/25 bloodwork:  Until today, I did not really know what all the four tubes of blood were for and since I did not understand the results, I got into the clinical notes to see what was ordered, but it did not exactly explain why for everything. Immunoglobulins IGG, IGA, IGM all came back in range:  IGG 1,010 mg/dL In range 600-1,714; IgA 261 mg/dL In range 66-433 mg/dL; IGM 189 mg/dL In range 45-281.  How do these numbers help with diagnosis? Google says she checked these to see if I have an ongoing infection? I do have Hashimoto's and she did say once you have one autoimmune disease others seem to follow. Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies? Comprehensive Metabolic Panel: Everything was in the middle of the normal range.  Google says this just says I am metabolically healthy. Tissue Transglutaminase ABS test results – Done by the Mayo Clinic’s Labs –  T-Transglutaminase IGA AB --Value: 3.1 U/mL – Normal Value is <4.0 (negative) U/mL; Tissue Transglutaminase, IgG -- Value: 15.3 U/mL High -- Normal Value is <6.0 (Negative) U/mL – Interpretation Positive (>9.0) – These are the only labs the GI did that have been labeled Abnormal.  I am confused at how/why these came back different than the December labs? Because these numbers seem to be the opposite of what the were in December and I know I have eaten less gluten.  They were definitely measured differently and had different ranges. This must be why she said they are usually opposite? Molecular Stool Parasite Panel said I was Negative for Giardia Lamblia by PCR; Entamoeba Histolytica by PCR and Cryptosporidium Parvum/Hominis by PCR.  So at least I do not need to do a parasite cleanse like everyone on TikTok seems to be doing. So I guess, I am just really asking why the Tissue Transglutaminase numbers are different.  Was it because they were truly different tests? Is it because I have not consumed the crazy amount of gluten one is suppose to eat prior to testing? To be honest, I thought that was only for the biopsy testing. I generally only eat twice a day, and the thought of eating the equivalent of 6 slices of bread is daunting. Even in my youth, I probably only consumed the equivalent of maybe 3 slices a day. Like I said before, now I usually focus on trying to eat 60 gram of protein.  I am suppose to consume 100 grams, but have failed to succeed. I will focus on eating gluten starting in July now that I know my procedure date.

      Worried about being isolated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.
