Wheat And Corn Allergy!

I posted a week ago or so while I was waiting for my biopsy results to come back. I am negative for celiac, but felt great gluten free and also had my Antigliadin IGG come back positive. So, I went to my allergist and I have a major wheat and corn allergy. Between the two I feel like there is not a whole lot I can eat. As you know, so much gluten free stuff has corn starch or other corn derivative as a filler. Anyone have any advise or suggestions? I don't want to be on Atkins forever ;)

Wellsfamily,

I know this is an old post but no one else responded.

Gluten free products do contain corn in a lot of cases. We are gluten-free, CF, SF and DF. And the ones I have found that I enjoy are Sami's bakery millet and flax bread. You might be able to get your healthfood store to carry this. Also, Anna's bread mix is very good. I just ordered a huge lot of it and made it in the oven yesterday as opposed to the bread machine. I have tried Anna's pumpkin bread and banana bread too and found it to be good.

Corn is very high in mold and that is why a lot of people are allergic. Even though I don't react to corn like I used to, I try to avoid it just because of its mold content and the fact that most corn is now a GMO food.

www.123glutenfree.com has AWESOME brownie and cake mixes. These taste just like gluten containing foods. I have served them at our family get togethers and no one notices.

Namaste has a great pancake mix. I use almond milk and I use the Earth Balance dairy free butter to put on top. YUM! Their pizza dough mix is good too.

I get cereals for my kids that are made from rice. I am always very careful to not choose anything with corn. I have been unable to find pretzels that didn't contain corn. So I don't buy them much.

Good luck!

[size=2]I also don't have Celiac's but I am allergic to wheat and corn. It is such a pain as not a lot of people are allergic to both. Does anyone have any helpful hints? Because of my good allergies I have also developed hypoglycemia! It would be great to connect with some others in the same situation...Let me know if you are out there!

I used to suffer with hyperinsulism and hypoglycemia for years before I became diabetic. The fact you get hypos may be an indicator that, like me, you are actually carbohydrate intolerant.

You may not be Celiac but that doesn't mean that you aren't gluten and carbohydrate intolerant and the 'allergic' reactions may be due to Leaky Gut Syndrome and bacterial overgrowth, which the carbs will encourage.

Any damage to the gut will inhibit complete digestion of the more complex carbs like sugar, lactose (dairy), grains and starches. The incomplete digestion in turn means that the bacteria has more to feed on which encourages overgrowth and an imbalance in the gut flora. The bacterial overgrowth causes other physical and/or mental problems and can also inhibit gut restoration. It is a vicious cycle, but carbohydrates are at the root of it all.

I have been gluten, dairy, sugar and virtually carb free for 2 months now. I eat good unprocessed meat, fish and poultry. The only carbs I have are the simple ones in fresh fruit and veg and a little honey and nuts. And I drink plenty of water. This simple diet is giving my digestion the best support to get better and already I am able to eat a few foods, like eggs, that I couldn't cope with a few weeks ago.

You may be annoyed at having to drop both gluten and corn, but it might actually be the best thing you can do for a while to give your body a good chance to heal quicker. Actually, if these foods are antagonists then all you do is end up delaying the healing process which is even more frustrating.

Atkins is not a bad eating plan - but low-carb is better than the higher protein Atkins promotes. We are all different and some thrive on plenty of protein but not all, however we would all benefit from eating less carbohydrate, particularly sugar. Better to have some protein and swap the carbs for fruit and veggies which are full of nutrients.

There are some good sweet recipes out there - I make a mean Almond cake with ground almonds, eggs and honey, so it doesn't have to be bland and boring.

I just found out that mt 21 month old is allergic to corn and wheat (among other things). I have also found that corn and wheat are in EVERYTHING,, I feal like I am starving him. He is also allergic to tomatoes, my husband is Italian and my son (little italian boy) can't have pasta and sauce. my son doesn't like the gluten free pasta (I don't blame him). If you know of any good manufactures that I can get good food that does not contain corn or wheat, let me know. He is the youngest of 4 and this is all new to me. Noone in my family nor my husband's family has food allergies.

Slight thread-jack here, but I've just got to clarify...

Atkins isn't high-protein, it's high-fat. Only 30% of your daily calories come from protein, though optimum intake might be closer to 25% (for best weight loss.)

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
