Am I allergic to corn?

Allergic to corn and it's by-products, what can I eat?

  • I found out I'm allergic to corn and rice and their by-products. I can't eat anything with corn, corn meal, corn oil, extracts, or my favorite HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP! I'm not sure what else I can eat. I really don't like veggies at all.

  • Answer:

    You may need to go back to cooking from scratch-Im sure youre rapidly finding out that corn is in nearly everything that is commercially prepared! (be careful of medications as well-not just foods). Food that is less processed will have less chance of having corn added to it.-read the labels carefully and phone the manufacturers for clarification if youre not sure. good luck caz

Try to eat some veggies they are not only good for your health but for your skin and hair too. Here talking about corn by-products I have a website where you can find some info for corn-free shopping. www.cornfree.ca/shopping.htm

I can relate. I found out that I have an intolerance to wheat and gluten when I was in high school. The easiest (and often cheapest) way to eat is to cook from scratch. It's tough at first but it gets easier. Plus, nothing beats the satisfaction of recreating a gluten free version of my Memere's banana bread or figuring out how to make an uncrumbly bread or tortilla ( : You can still eat a lot of breads and pastas, but check the ingredients to be sure. A lot of organic foods avoid high fructose corn syrup. Do you have a Whole Foods or Trader Joes or another store like that near you? Sorry I don't have more advice about your allergy. But good luck, and happy eating, Heather
