I will forward your question to Kara...however, this is what she has in her book, Help Me Behave under the section of Chips.... " These chips are all fried in corn oil. Corn oil does not have corn protein, so it should not cause a problem. If you do notice a change in behavior, add corn oil to the list of items to avoid. " Now...to confuse you even more...on Ephraim's website he has corn oil listed as a food he avoids...so I think we're back to the old addage of if he can tolerate it then go for it...I think it's just going to depend on the person and how sensitive they are...Jess has not had a problem with corn oil...yet! Also, you probably noted that in a later email directly from Imagine - that the Chocolate is derived from corn alcohol...not in a corn oil base - that's what I get for not calling the manufacturer directly. And I want to thank the listmember who posted that email...because I emailed the same lady and told her what I'd been told and she re-confirmed that the chocolate flavor is from corn alcohol...and knock on wood...I haven't seen any real noticeable kind of reaction from Jess...however, I will be tracking that a lot closer now as far as behavior goes...usually our MAIN indicator is the poop roller coaster. in TX - whose trying to recreate my computer and a little behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
