Please Help - Going Corn-Free (OUCH @#$%^&*)

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I really need all of your expertise on this one. I'm going corn-free - feel

as though I've gotta try it, but also realize that it must be the hardest

food to go off of because it is in almost everything. You know, when my

daughter was 1 1/2 years old we had just moved here from England. The only

change in her diet was corn on the cob. I kept taking her to the doc for so

called " diaper rash " that was so bad + her behaviors were getting worse. I

asked them to do allergy testing and had to fight to get them to do it.

They did that ole Rast test and corn came up negative, milk was positive

along with wheat, cats and a few other things. You know now if I give her a

cereal made with corn like Corn Pops, French Toast Crunch, I swear after a

couple minutes she begins all this " verbal stim " . I hate it. I keep

telling my husband that I'd rather " Tube Feed " her for the rest of her life

than here all this stim. I also remember once when she was really sick

(Flu), she just had a couple crackers and soda - For days this child was

behavior free. I swore that it wasn't because she was sick, but because of

her limited diet. Sorry to ramble on. Please, for those of you who are

doing it, all your pointers will do.

Have a very special one-year old birthday party to attend this Saturday and

then I want to begin on Sunday. My daughter eats eggs in the morning with

rice toast and of course " Fleishman's no salt margarine (corn). Lunch is a

sandwich w/smucker's grape jelly (corn), fruit & gatorade. Dinner I don't

think will be a problem, but haven't looked into many ingredients that I

usually cook with yet for corn.

I make many things from scratch, but still rely on the GFCF list for Prego

Traditional Spagetti sauce, hot dogs, etc.. for quick meals because our

life is so hectic. I've got a " work-a-haulic hubby in the military who also

goes to school full-time and doing an internship, we've got Baseball,

Challengeball, Horseback Riding, KIDZ+ music & Dance and that doesn't

include anything that I do (which is not much considering there is no time

left).

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi ,

I'm so far behind on posts, and hopefully you've gotten some good info so

far. Just in case this might help, I've listed some alternatives to what

you said in your post. Good luck......corn is in just about anything they

can add it to, but it can be eliminated with diligence.

We use Erewhon Rice Twice Cereal, or Barbara's Rice Cereal, and someone

recently mentioned Poppets by Erewhon....I've not found these yet.

Hains makes a safflower margarine thats pretty good (does have soy, though).

Polaner All-fruit grape jelly is corn free. We don't do gatorade (does that

have corn?). R.W.Knudsen makes a good Pear juice (organic) that's corn

free.

we recently were left with no alternative but to go

corn free. it is was incredibly hard because when I

found GFCF fooods I was so excited I would forget to

check the corn. A most recently I have descovered the

corn is often in common table salt yet not listed. It

is is some pickles, spagghetti sauce, and the base for

many pre-packaged GFCF foods. At the Health Food

store we buy CFGF and Crn F vinegar and mayo and

many products made with sea salt. Check your potato

chips most are fried in corn oil and all are sprinkled

with SALT- I finally found potato sticks made with

beet sugar and seasalt that are cool. honey hams are

often corn free but were are now avoiding the nitrates

too. We have been sucessfully consuming welches fruit

juice pops- grape raspberry strawberry. They are the

only ones I have found safe. Pacific cocoa rice milk

is safe I just called this week. Of coarse all the

cereals are nasty except rice puffs. I am waiting to

hear from aldis about a fruity rice made with sugar

not cornsyrup but lisiting natural flavoring- im most

fruity rice cereals this is jucie -but all other

cereals list malt and this one doesnt. I will be so

excited if it turns out safe!! Good luck-
