Re: OT - Wondering about corn - Sandy

[Guest guest]

Hi Sandy,

We have always had an issue with corn of all types.

Now we are well into our rounds of chelation seems to be toleration corn flour better than he did but I still think we have problems with other forms.

In our case, when he was small it showed up as red face and pure anger - totally beside himself. These days, we would be more likely to get verbal stimming and may be a lesser temper.

I am not sure in our case that I would call it an allergen, just an intolerance. We always keep the magnesium sulphate cream on hand for any such events which still works as brilliantly as ever.

Hi all,We've recently had corn in the form of baby corn and we also made a little popcorn (a lot of fun to make - shook some goat butter and salt in the pan at the end and it was surprisingly tasty.) We tolerated both OK. I've read corn is a potential allergen (and I know that Dr Mercola advises against high fructose corn syrup) but just wondering about the corn-free advice of the typical autism diet. Reading here it seems corn removal is recommended for intolerance reasons.http://nourishinghope.com/tag/corn-free/Best wishes, Sandy

Hi ,

Thanks for replying. Good to hear of intolerance improving for .

I think we'll keep corn and popcorn to an occasional food for now and will keep

an eye out for signs of possible intolerance symptoms.

Best wishes, Sandy
