Hi, just wondering if and celiacs have had problems with corn, corn flour or any other corn products. Had it today...have a gut ache....but it could have been something else.

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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      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.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
