Looking For Corn Free Eggs

I found out I am sensitive to corn, and I am looking for corn free eggs. Most organic, free range eggs that I have found come from chickens fed a vegetarian diet, which includes soybeans and corn (GMO I am sure). Would love to not have the soy either. Anyone know of any sources? Thanks!

Really?!? How can they call them free range and organic if they are fed GMO's? That said, I am sensitive to soy and I do not have to buy special eggs. If the eggs are bothering you perhaps it is the egg itself you have a sensitivity to...I really think your best option if you want to know what your chickens are fed is to find a nearby farm that sells eggs right from their free range chickens. That way you can ask about and actually see their practices.

I think you are correct, I might just need to work with a local farmer. I am not sure that they are being fed GMO's, but after everything I have been reading, I believe there are a lot of things that go on that are not totally revealed to the consumer.

Corn and soy aren't good for chickens and I doubt they would feature prominently in any feed. Additionally, chickens eat bugs, so that 'vegetarian/free range' thing does not work.

There is a movement here to allow people to have chickens at thier homes in the towns. I would love to have a few, I think it would be fun. But it ain't gonna happen in my city.

Do you eat that many eggs? Or give them away?

I have friends who can't have chickens at their house, so we're forming a chicken co-op. They'll pay me one bag of feed for every 4 dozen eggs, or roughly $4/dozen. This is quite a bit cheaper than farmer's market eggs, and despite all the fancy labeling, anything you buy at the grocery store has no flavor.

Thank you for the thread link! From there I went to the reccomended website backyardchickens.com and I have been reading it for the last hour with interest. I don't even own land, (I currently rent) but if I buy in the near future the possibility of having chickens will now be something to consider. I'm fascinated by it! :)

      I'm not saying this is what you have, but your description reminds me of Morgellons, which are not very well understood. Here is a review from a reputable source.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply. I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting...

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply.  I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal allergy inflammation be contributing to my celiac inflammation? I am so careful, there is no way I could ingest gluten. For example, couple of months ago I tried a cough drop that says it was gluten free. I checked ingredients, it seemed fine. But just taking one of those caused me to have nausea, vomiting, and the same extreme abdominal pain. Have you ever heard of anyone else having symptoms like mine after being diagnosed celiac and strictly gluten free? The last episode I had like this was yesterday, after I ate a certified gluten-free coconut macaroon with a little chocolate on it. I have eaten coconut and chocolate before with no issue,  so I didn't see how I could all of a sudden have such a strong response.

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting. I don't think that touching or throwing bread around would lead to you ingesting enough to cause a reaction. There are case reports of farmers with coeliac disease reacting to the dust from gluten-containing animal feed but they were inhaling large amounts of dust over a long period of time in barns. Perhaps you episodes are caused by a reaction to something other than gluten? Have you had your antibody levels checked to see whether you are still being exposed to gluten?
