I have found stuff that looked like wheat in my corn. Maybe that was your problem.

Corn is safe for people with celiac. Having said that you could have an additional intolerance to corn or as the other poster said it could be cross contaminated. I use mission corn products (torillas and tortilla chips) and have no problems with them. Frito Lay will make me sick....but thats my personal experience, I think the frito's are just too greasy for me.

I identified my intolerance to corn long before I identified gluten as a problem. Yes, lots of celiacs have problems with corn too, just as they do with soy also.

So far it seems like I can eat a little corn off the cob, but anything like a corn tortilla or corn bread will set off an attack like a gluten attack. I've even tried gluten free. I think it's either cc or I do have an issue with corn. Actually the day I made myself corn bread was one of the sickest days I've had since going gluten free. My husband had to come home early from work to take care of my daughter for me. It seems never ending doesn't it?

I can do corn, but only once a week or so. If I eat it too often I will react to it.

My dd 13, can have corn in moderation if it is in something. Corn bread, chips etc..., she just can't over do it But whole kernel, she can't touch. No corn on the cob, or even mixed veggies with corn she has to pick it out.

Corn products are often processed on the same lines as wheat products. If you give the company a call, they should be able to tell you if the corn you had issues with was run on the same line, or near another line, that processes wheat. :)

Although I'm in the boat of those who react to corn as well as gluten, so yeah, it can happen. sigh.

I do best if I eat organic corn only, and in moderation.

I have recently discovered that I have a reaction to corn as well. I found out that there is guar gum in corn tortillas, so that might be part of it, but even if I buy corn flour there is a reaction, so I think it's more. Do you have problems with any other starches?

Corn is a major allergen and there are plenty of people who are sensitive or intolerant to it. Some people find they have more problems with GMO corn. You might try organic corn chips and see if you still react.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
