    I just want to say that corn is EVIL. When I look back at my journals I'm highlighting everything that had corn derivatives in it. On the days that I had full blown reactions I had written "GLUTENED" on the page. Of course I had no idea how I got glutened.....just assumed that I did. Now I can see that on every one of those days everything I ate had...

    Yeah.....I agree about becoming sensitive to smaller amounts as we go along. I know the corn thing had to be there since day one because the first things I remember having strong reactions to were things like gum, toothpaste, anything with salt. I can list a ton of things I had problems with that are gluten-free. I was a big-time sunflower seed eater....like...

    LMAO!!! Dude...since the day I went gluten-free I've never worn my splint again! It just fixed itself. The specialists I saw were telling me they didnt even know where to begin with me....that my jaw was so messed up and the joints are grating and all this other scary stuff. Its definately the gluten and corn intolerance causing it because...

    I know. I think I need to change my signature because I dont seem to be intolerant to casein or eggs. Now that I've eliminated corn I'm not noticing problems with the other foods. I'm not too sure about the soy though....I havent really had any except for whats in the creme but that didnt seem to affect me. Just when I thought I had it all figured...

    Hi, Welcome to the board! I also have Graves Disease. I had the radioactive iodine 3 years ago. It was around that same time that I was experiencing symptoms I would later find out were related to gluten intolerance. I was never officially diagnosed with Celiac so not sure if I have it or not. I've been gluten free for a year now. It will definately...

    Julie, I read that post too. How can they get away with that....I dont know what to believe about that but I switched to Breyers chocolate instead. I dont trust Haagen Daz now. Jersey, Yeah...I guess its a topping. Thats what I've bben using it for. I spread it on my pancakes or on top of muffins. It tastes like marshmallow creme but...

    I would think it would be impossible to test the corn intolerance if shes on alot of meds. I would bet every one of them has corn in it. The last few months I wasnt getting any corn from my diet at all....except maybe from wax on vegetables. All of my symptoms were coming from my supplements and thyroid meds because once I stopped taking everything I started...

    MiaMia, I saw this list too. Thanks for posting it. I guess we're both researching on the same sites. Just wanted to point out that some of the stuff is not gluten-free so not all of it is ok for us but alot of it is. Ooooh...I just wanted to say I found the ricemellow creme at my local grocery store...yummmm. Also passover marshmallows...

    I dont think I would trust that the pills are corn free. I've been noticing lots of foods that are labeled corn free that actually have one or more corn derived ingredient. Enjoy Life products all state they are corn free even though most of them have xanthan gum in them. From what I've read on the corn forum all xanthan gum in the US is from corn. I...

    I dont think they would wax those but pretty much all frozen stuff contains corn anyways as a preservative.

    Yes, It does mean that one of your parents passed it to you but it doesnt necessarily mean that that parent also has celiac. You did get the gene from one of your parents though.
  12. Rachel--24
    Dani, this is what I would recommend...and this goes for any elimination diet...not just corn. I wouldnt take any meds/supplements for a couple weeks unless you're 100% sure they are corn/gluten free. The capsule is often vegetarian or corn based. I remember reading somewhere that when you are starting an elimination diet...especially corn since its in everything...

    Julie, I was on the candida boards for several months and one thing I noticed is that not a single person "cured" themselves of candida. I think that pretty much says it all right there. I told my new doctor what I thought anout candida and this is what he told me. He said that for several years he treated people for candida and he was successful as...
  14. Rachel--24
    I dont worry too much about candida anymore and I dont believe all the hype about it. I believe an overgrowth can occur when things arent right and the immune system is stressed. I think of candida as another symptom but not a cause. My doctor agrees with me on this. In his experience you cant treat candida and expect to get well...you have to find out why...

    MiaMia, What is Ceres juice? I dont think I've ever seen it.
  16. Rachel--24
    Dani, The thanx goes to "Simply V"....whoever she/he may be. All I know is that that person posted something about corn being the most difficult to eliminate and some of the things that corn is in...like dairy products. I kept thinking about that post for a couple days and finally started looking into it and 1 week later I've gained 10 lbs. and feel better...

    I'm not doing SCD anymore. I've been eating very similar to SCD for a long time now and just never got better. Amazingly now that I've eliminated corn I'm eating all the "bad" stuff that I've been terrified to eat for a whole year now and I'm feeling great! I make alot of stuff from scratch because of the corn and gluten intolerance but I eat pancakes...

    ARCHIVED Entrolab

    Rachel--24 replied to christa's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I agree with Nancy....mainstream doctors arent likely to diagnose you as Celiac based on Enterolab results. None of the mainstream docs I've seen have been supportive of my test results. They are more supportive of the improvement since starting the diet....they could care less what Enterolab says. On the other hand I also have another doctor who is not...

    Dani, are the rice cakes plain? I only eat the organic plain unsalted. Maybe they use sea salt for the others though...I never payed attention. I tried a flavored one...I think honey nut or something. It was about 4 months ago but I remember it made me feel bad. I remember you posting that you felt bad after drinking grape juice....that would not be corn...

    I switched to Toms of Maine about 3 years ago when all this first started and toothpaste was burning my mouth. I wasnt having this problem with the Tom's stuff. I've been using the kids one for awhile now...glad you can confirm its corn-free. I never called them I just read it somewhere. Alot of things I just stopped using because of how they made me feel...

    I struck out looking for the Coke but the Whole Foods 365 sodas looked pretty safe. I got a 6 pack of root beer....so we'll see. I havent had a soda in 2 years....my reactions were bad and I havent been tempted to drink soda in all this time because of it. The can says no artifical ingredients, no additives, gluten free and they dont use corn syrup as a sweetener...
  22. Rachel--24
    Don't worry...I'll keep posting as I go along....you guys are stuck with me. No kidding about corn taking the cake! I never had any idea it was in all this stuff. I would hear "corn" and think of corn on the cob, cornbread, popcorn, tortillas and chips...thats about it. I never once thought it could be the root of my problems. For about the...
  23. Rachel--24
    Dani I went to the Delphi Avoiding Corn forum and just started reading all the posts which is where I learned most of this stuff. The amount of stuff that corn's in is really extensive...at first I was really intimidated by it. I still am but it seems to be working for me so I'm more excited than anything right now. The only salt that is safe (as far...

    Debbie, I was on a similar diet for several months. I was on a very strict candida diet so only ate organic meat, fish and the allowed vegetables. I ate no fruits at all and definately no corn. There was no reason for me to suspect that corn was a problem because I hadnt eaten any. However corn is in pretty much ALL supplements, medications, toothpaste...
  25. Rachel--24
    Dani, I used to do all that stuff you read about on CureZone and I can tell you that it didnt help me one bit. I did coffee enemas and cleanses and all that stuff....it didn't work. Thats just my experience though. I'm getting better since I eliminated all corn and I've gained 10 lbs. in one week. I'm able to eat alot more stuff now. I'm recognizing...
