Corn, cereal and fungus/mycotoxins connection

[Guest guest]

Well, reading those excellent URLs about corn mycotoxins,

the first two were about corn cereal and how it can damage

your intestinal wall, allowing molecules to leak in the abdominal

cavity, or IBS.

I'm going to cut back on corn, including corn kernels, and corn

cereal. Sometimes, like right now, the last frozen bag of corn

made me feel bad, and I brought two, and have the second sitting

in the freezer. I did not know why the corn made me feel bad.

But I consider it likely that it has mycotoxins. Oh, the symptom

was gut pain. Stomach pain. For about 2-4 hours after the meal,

and again with leftovers.

So, reading up on corn, was good. Corn milling to make bread

and maize destroys a lot of the mycotoxin. But I eat kernels

and cereal. Now, that I'm thinking about it, the last bag of

corn cereal had a problem. I ate thinking it was just me

and an exposure. Double think now.

I'm not going to stop eating corn, but if anything made of corn

makes me feel bad, I will now stop. Remove the corn, toss it

out, and know I made a good decision. At a minimum I will

determine if it was some other food item causing the issue.

And now I can look at all grains with a new light. Oatmeal,

wheat, etc. Knowing that one batch, one loaf, might be bad.

And not unduly eliminate/rotate the food item out of my diet.

Knowledge is health. Health is wealth. Wealth is power.
