I Missed The Fourth Of July

I don't know the proper way of saying that I accidentally ate corn. Gluten is glutened, so I improvised. B)

I slept 20 hours on Monday because I accidentally ate some chocolate that had corn-something in it. I've had that brand before and didn't check the ingredients until my ds read them to me that night. I passed out at 8:30 pm and only woke for a few hours the next day. I missed all the events for the 4th. Bummer!

Still feeling some of the effects. I'm kind of shaky still. This is the first time I've majorly corn-tend myself (somebody PLEASE give me the right word to say this) since quitting a year ago. I didn't expect to feel so bad.

I guess I don't understand this fully. I'm not allergic and I don't have an autoimmune problem to corn, so why does it affect me the same way that gluten does?

Chocolate really is evil. I fell off the wagon and this is what I get. Torture.

I'm sorry you feel so bad, umm, maybe you "corned" yourself? :P Sorry about that but I couldn't help myself. I really feel for you, hope you get to feeling better.

Sorry you are feeling yucky! I think some people have a similar to gluten reaction to corn.

Please! Don't loose faith in chocolate! It isn't evil. Some of the companies that mix it with unnatural additives are the evil ones.

Trying to come up with some jokes but they all seem corny and not very funny. I'm afraid the corn intolerant population would give me an earful or cob me over the head!

Thanks! Good one!

I hope people know I am not trying to be disrespectful. I just think it helps to laugh.

:D Hey, better to laugh than cry. ;)

I am so sorry to hear that you "corned" yourself! Funny thing, I did too! I cooked my ribs separate, made my own potato salad with homemade mayonnaise, used my own homemade bbq sauce and still got sick. The sad part was I had spent the whole afternoon making "everything free" food for the 4th evening party. We had a whole separate table of "free" goodness so that I could eat too, and then I was too sick.

Turns out the innocent ribs were packed in a solution to help them be "tender." Aaaaand I spent the evening with excruciating stomach pain on the floor of my parent's room.

I am so jealous! How have you managed to go a whole year without a good corning? I try try try and still am getting hit with it every couple of weeks. I think I'm extra sensitive maybe?

So sorry you didn't get to have a fun 4th. I say you hit redo and party this weekend! ;)

I get the same symptoms from corn as I do from gluten too, the main thing is joint pain, thought it doesn't give me blood blisters in my mouth like gluten does. Even eating something like a dessert with casserole with a tiny bit of corn starch in is enough to make me sore for a fortnight.

And LOL, well I usually do say I "corned" myself!

Of course! It's just so easy to get carried away. Plus, I'm usually a good sport. :-)

I did the SCD diet for a year, that's how I kept from corning myself. :)

Now that I'm eating "real" food again, I'm having a difficult time learning what ingredients mean "corn." I know the keywords for gluten, but corn is another story. I just haven't had the time to learn them yet. I'm sure this won't be the last time I accidentally corn myself, but it was a stupid mistake and I'm hoping I don't do it every few weeks like you!

I learned from the SCD diet to cook all of my own foods, so I doubt that I'll get sick very often. It's just those goodies that tempt me and have a high likelihood of containing corn that will be my downfall. Candy. I'll have to learn how to make my own I guess.

Corn starch was one of the ingredients that made me realize that I was corn-intolerant. When I ate something made with it I got really sick - just like you.

Hmm, I was thinking about doing that diet. Have the book, but still thinking....

I've gotten really good about knowing what foods mean corn. What has tripped me up lately is cc in oil, and then meat packed in a solution that I didn't even realize was there (you'd think it would be safe!). I definitely cook all my own food, and that cuts down on the problems. I think I also discovered that what I thought was cornings was actually soy in ice tea. Lovely.

And yeah, stay away from candy! I found a popsicle I can eat and boy do I eat them! Check out Dryer's All Natural Fruit Bars in snack size. :D

I found a big help with sites for corn allergy folks, like this one:

Open Original Shared Link

She lists lots of products with corn, ingredients that mean corn, etc... All in a big, nice list, you know?

I get the same thing, I react to anything with corn like it's gluten. After learning that I react to very small traces of gluten in everything else, I've been assuming it is trace gluten cc in much of the corn. But just to be sure...this year I'm growing corn. No fertilizers or anything else that might affect the test, just corn. I figure I can't get a more pure sample of corn that that, you know?

It'll be interesting to see what happens when it's ready to eat.

      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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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?

      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.
