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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
