Zein Specifically

[cavernio]

Right, so, like, everything has corn. I find huge lists of corn derived ingredients. But I only want to avoid zein, at least for now. I'm having a really hard time, (impossible time really) separating corn ingredients from zein ingredients.

For instance, I've read that cellulose and microcrystalline cellulose contain corn. But when I read things like this, Open Original Shared Link

it specifically says that stalks or cobs are used. These would have little to no zein, so I don't want to worry about these. This is good because my vitamins contain these ingredients and I still want to take them while avoiding zein. But this is just 1 example where I *have* found that this a corn ingredient I feel safe ingesting while trying to figure out if my body reacts to zein.

I know to avoid the more obvious corn culprits, but there's gotta be thousands of chemicals that use corn in some way or another.

I've also read that some artificial flavors or colors that have corn might also not have zein, but not anything credible.

Can anyone help me out here? Links, ingredients, personal experiences with specific ingredients or products?
