Could Some Corn Intolerant People Help Me?

When you eat corn, what are the reactions to it?

how long does it take to react?

and how long does it last, I am trying desperatly to figure out if I am just still getting small amounts of CC or have corn intolerance.

It just seems like I react to anything with corn in it.

I'm corn intolerant, and it seems to give similar symptoms as gluten for me. I have heard that it is very common for Celiacs to have trouble with corn

Three days for processed corn. My psoriasis flares and my joints hurt. Whole corn takes a couple hours and leaves my body suddenly and painfully. :blink::ph34r: :ph34r:

My corn reaction is very similar to my wheat reaction, except I get very itchy skin as well. So, extreme abdominal cramping, brain fog, joint pain. I think it passes more quickly than wheat gluten. Also I don't have severe reactions to trace amounts like eating something made with baking powder, although I avoid this. Whereas gluten I would NEVER eat in trace amounts.

Can you eat corn on the cob?

i am very much like "srall"... as in, it affects me similar to gluten, but goes away quicker- and i dont react to trace amounts like i would with gluten. my symptoms are intestinal cramping, pain, a little tachycardia and hbp, little itchy, a little bit nasal allergies (maybe i also have a little allergy??, but no hives)

My son has a histamine reaction to corn (all stuffed up, "hay fever" symptoms, circles under eyes) as well as brain fog and fatigue. He gets the brain fog and fatigue with gluten but also gets joint pain and stomach aches, etc from it.

Jestgar, I too have psoriasis, and I'm on day six of my gluten free diet. By day three I saw a very noticable improvement in my psoriasis. Then I bought some gluten free cornbread mix. Today my P is worse again, so I'm thinking it might be the corn.

But now what should I do? Most of the flour mixtures I have seen here and other places contain corn starch. How can I bake a decent tasting bread without it? I can't imagine living without SOME kind of bread. Giving up the processed foods is easy, but bread was always one of my favorite things to eat. :(

If you bake your own bread from scratch, I'm sure you could substitute arrowroot for the cornstarch.

Watch out for arrowroot. My son and I both react to it dramatically. I don't know if it is cc'd or if it is a problem in itself.

I can eat small amounts of corn without noticeable problems. Maybe you'll find a level that works for you as well. You also might react to corn, but not corn starch (not enough protein to bother you). The only way to find out is to experiment. I would avoid corn as much as possible until you get the gluten-free thing figured out, and then start testing.

Fortunately, corn is something that I have been able to add back in to my diet ,,in limited amounts.

I can eat corn(whole corn,corn on the cob ect...) with no problems.

Processed corn(Fritos,corn chips,corn bread ect....) I still get that hole in the gut / brick in the gut feeling if I eat more than a small amount.

I haven't done a lot of experimentation with my corn issues, but here's what I have noticed:

In very small amounts, I can have it, though I do prefer making my own baking powder.

When I get too much corn, I get pain & cramping & D, but like the others said, once it's out of my system, it's out. It also exacerbates my eczema.

lol..

guess I am the only one who seems to get constipated by it >_>

I had 4 extra strength tylenol (the source of corn I believe) when I nearly broke my ankle, and have been having light stomach issues since.. that was.. tuesday only now starting to get over the constipation...

I suppose everyone can have different reactions to corn?

Most of my dietary issues have resolved unless I get glutened or CC. , I get D if glutened and C from soy . I still get constipated by large amounts of cheese ( but I think that is a NORMAL :lol: , reaction to large amounts of cheese .

Also if my thyroid is off (hypo) I get constipated .

I just had my first reaction to corn at the beginning of May of this year, so I'm still figuring this out.

Here are my reactions:

Corn kernels - esophageal swelling within minutes

Corn syrup - lump in the throat

Cornstarch - tickly scratchy throat

Citric acid - hives and itchy/scaley skin, scratchy throat like post nasal drip and a migraine, usually next day

White vinegar - hives and itchy/scaley skin

Xanthan gum - hives and itchy/scaley skin

I still accidentally get corned but I have been keeping a food diary since my corn reaction so I've been figuring most of it out thanks to this list I found on the net: Open Original Shared Link HTH!

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
