    If there is a corn sensitivity, it could be getting you in many ways. Fish are caught and put in a vat of corn based citric acid/water for the trip to land. Many 'tuna in water' really isn't 'water' but vegetable broth. Vegetable either being corn or soy. Then there is the can lining, as mentioned. But I would guess your mayo has corn also. I personally...

    That is what happened to me. In my case, I traced it to corn intolerance also. I found going gluten-free was easy, this is the best day/time in the world to do that, as more companies are careful to label things gluten-free. Its not the same with corn, there are many derivitves of it, hiding under other names, and it is used in/on nearly everything. Going...

    I feel your pain. I went gluten-free, thought, hey, this is no big deal! Then the realization of the corn, dairy, then soy..... In my case, just avoiding the actual corn, corn meal, corn starch, etc is not enough. Even the itsy bitsiest bit of citric acid in something makes me gain 10 lbs overnight and takes three weeks to go away. So discouraging! I...

    Raz, I feel your pain! Although I didn't think gluten was hard. I thought it was a piece of cake. I kept good spirits about it! But that was easy, then, because I suddenly felt so well. I shouldn't have gotten used to feeling well I guess. Just when I think I have done 'everything right', I get corned again. When people ask me what I eat, I joke... the...

    If I may update? I posted in June. I have been gluten-free since early February 2012, grain free since March. I have not been accidently glutened onceI But by corn, yes, many times. I also gain about 10 lbs (of fluid and inflammation) within a few days of corn exposure (and it can be as teeny of an amount as in a vitamin pill). I hadn't lost weight in...

    I wish I could offer you help with the cookbooks or links, but I do not. I just wanted to stop in and offer a HUGE GENTLE HUG. I know it is frustrating to deal with all of this and with a foggy mind on top of it. I hope your answers come soon!

    Persei, I feel your pain, literally! I am so sorry you are going though this! We just don't deserve the suffering we are going through! I am very much in the same boat as you. My choice of foods is quite limited, mostly due to SEVERE sensitivity to corn, which is in and on nearly every food product in the U.S. I will never eat out again or accept an invite...

    Hi Cindy, I know your post is a month old, but I was wondering the same thing. I came here and did a search before posting. I swear I have not been glutened, or contamainated by other things I am sensitive to, but I am under severe stress and suffering as if I have eaten the wrong thing. I am on day 3, and not feeling a lot better. Did you go on to feel...

    So frustrating, isn't it?! I have no reaction to Twinlab Allergy C. I used Vitacost.com. They are good to list the "no" list on their website of each product.

    I am in search of OTC medicines that others can take without reacting. I live in a farming area, and harvest is in full swing. Though I have not consumed anything to react to, I am having issues with fluid in my ears and a mild congestion, that I am certain comes from airborne sources. I am Celiac with corn/soy/dairy/peanut intolerances. Even the teeniest...

    You might also 'test' yourself for other foods your body cannot tolerate. I learned that here, at this site, and found many that I reacted to. When I keep those things out of my diet, I can drop 2 lbs a week, easy. I found I am extremely sensitive to corn in any form. A "contaminated" pill or a bit of citric acid (which is usually corn based in the USA, and...

    nomoregluten, actually, the low carb way of eating has cleared my mind! Stopping gluten began my mind getting clear. But living low carb has really given me back my faculties! I can 'mentally spar' and have a quick wit again!!! It amazes me every day! T.H. You hit the nail on the head for me. This has been a process, a journey. Going gluten-free was...

    I will share my favorite mantra, learned here.... keep a food diary. You do not have to log how much you ate. Just note everything you put in your mouth. Then log how you feel. Even the slightest 'off' symptom. I made notes all day long on how I felt. You may be surprised to learn you have had another food intolerance develope that has nothing to do with...

    Everyone, thank you for the posts! I don't feel so weird now. Won't rush off to get my head examined just yet. LOL PaulieWog, I have no aversion to it chocolate either, but my body does. I was making my own little cocoa/cane sugar thick chocolate syrup to eat with a spoon for a choco fix. But I got raging heartburn so bad.... I gave it up. Ohhhhhh how...

    GottaSki, you are not losing weight because you are starving. No one should be under 1200 calories a day. You are only taking in 800, and of that, who knows how little your damaged body is taking in? I know its scary, you are afraid you will gain weight if you eat more, but you HAVE to UP your caloric intake or you will not lose weight! I was there myself...

    Wow. I have to tell you that you are not alone. Your story is so close to mine in details and time line.... It refreshed my memory of all I felt and have been through, and made my heart ache! I couldn't hold a coherent conversation, didn't have a logical thought. The BM looking like urine, coming more often than peeing. The lymph nodes... mine came with...

    ~whew~ Thank you so much! I feel so much better knowing I am not alone in this! As I said, I used to be game to try any food! I never turned down a chance. So for me to suddenly gag at eating something so common, that I always loved and enjoyed just seemed so bizarre!!!! Of course, this life of being suddenly intolerant to many foods is bizarre also! Thanks...

    I don't think we are normal. LOL I had the same issue. Honestly, I think sometimes I ate just trying to make the upset stomach calm down. Or maybe it was the addiction factor of our intolerance.... tho it was killing us, we craved more. Either way, I went through the same thing. Found I wasn't eating enough and carefully tweaked my diet until I was getting...

    Its never too early or late to begin eating healthy. Make the right choices, even if the weight does not begin to come off. I tried from the beginning of gluten/corn/soy free life to lose weight. After logging on a diet site I realized I was not eating enough. Factor into that leaky gut or/and malabsorption trouble, and I was starving while being obese...

    If you want a Vitamin C supplement that is NOT corn based, there is one out there made from palm trees. Its The only one I have not reacted to.

    I have tried watermelon twice and reacted as if I had corn. It was precut in the deli, so I assumed they sprayed it with corn based citric acid. But it was not labeled as such. I do gas up from muskmelon/cantaloupe. If you search the net, even healthy people do. It is suggested that it should be eaten on and empty stomach, not with protein foods. Less...

    I did not get a medical diagnosis on my gluten, corn or soy intolerances. After being on my deathbed for 6 weeks and the dr ruling out other issues, like cancers, and my not having had ANY food for a week, I had enough of a clear mind to search the net with my symptoms. I found this place. I was crying with joy to know I had found my problem. It seemed every...

    Due to beef, pork, corn, soy, dairy and gluten (all grain) out of my diet, I already seem to have a limited amount of things to choose from. I am somewhat fearful to try new things. I just want to keep healing, not slow it with a reaction to something. (not that it hasn't happened!) I thought maybe fish would be good. I love fish! I can't have tuna, I...

    Just two weeks ago I posted here while having a very 'blue' day. It was also two weeks after my rebounder arrived. I have desperately searched for 'my key' to weight loss. I know one issue I still have after 6 months of gluten-free is inflammation. Not only am I mildly obese, but my scales fluctuated 10 lbs, depending on the inflammation still in my intestines...

    Welcome Nick!!!! Sorry to hear that life has thrown some bumps in your road! You came to the right place to find support and information. Quick and easy foods are simple. You spend an afternoon every week or so cooking for yourself. Put the food in your fridge or freezer, so you can grab something out. Your health is worth the inconvenience of one afternoon...
