Guest guest Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 My son couldn’t cope with corn originally, but now after several years of no corn or soya he is OK with an occasional treat. I make pop corn occasionaly and he is OK with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hi , Thanks for replying. I think we'll keep corn occasional too. They were talking about tolerance of wheat and dairy at the Wise Traditions conference recently - saying they were often not tolerated until the gut had healed. They said that some folk using GAPS-type diets could probably tolerate wheat and diary (in the forms they recommend) once they have had gut healing. Perhaps it is the same with corn.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 We had similar with corn - did not have it for a couple of years when his gut was not in good shape and he just did not tolerate it but now he is fine and it is one of his favorite veggies. I think that a lot of the " avoid corn " guidelines originate from the US where corn is ubiquitous in the diet - High Fructose Corn Syrup and other corn derivatives are much much more widely utilised in American processed foods (corn chips, corn tortillas, etc.) than they are in the UK. At least that was my observation from moving here 13 years ago. Darla Hi , Thanks for replying. I think we'll keep corn occasional too.
