I would think e-lyte body bio zinc would be corn free. You could email

the company. It's a liquid form.

I Use " thorne research " and " Klaire labs " ..... go to their sites and it will

list their ingredients and supplements.. My guy could not tolerate any supps

with corn derivatives.

Has anyone ever by any chance compiled a list of corn-free

supplements?

I am having a hard time finding certain supplements that work for my

son. In particular, I am looking for a good zinc. The corn-free

options at my local store are Twin Labs zinc chelate, which seems

problematic for reasons unknown to me, and NOW zinc picolinate, which

has a rice base. That isn't working well either. I think it might be

the rice.

For those who remember me, my son's gut is FINALLY moving in a good

direction after we removed anything corn-derived (a challenging feat in

this country). It was suggested to us that this was a problem by an

accupressure practitioner in Chicago. My son's poops are finally

moving into the brown from the yellowish/pale yeast/bile issues.

We went the accupressure route after being told by a Children's

Memorial pediatric GI, from whom we were trying to get an order for an

ultrasound of my son's biliary tract to see if we could sort out what

might be going on, told me it is normal for 6 year olds never to have

brown poops, that my son's autism has nothing to do with the absolute

craziness we have seen with his bowels since he got his first round of

shots at ththree months, and that there was no medical reason for the

ultrasound. Never mind that ultrasounds are neither invasive nor

terribly expensive, and that they could rule out a real problem....

The doc should lose her license for that.

Anyways, my son is terribly undersupplemented now and I need to remedy

that. Besides that, and the fact that he needs to gain weight, he is

making lovely progress with each very, very, gentle round of chelation

and we are thrilled.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Best,

Here are a few supplements/meds I believe are corn-free. Check them

out, though, because there are so many names for corn, I could be

missing something:

Kirkman Zinc Liquid (Raspberry flavored. It is not the yummiest

stuff, but the only thing we have found. Has Citric Acid, but Kirkman

says it's products are corn-free unless otherwise noted, and it is not

noted on this product. I believe I also contacted the company before

we started using it and they said it was from a non-corn source.)

Klaire Labs Vital-Zymes Chewable (Houston Chewables have corn)

Carlson for Kids Chewable Calcium (Yummy! contains fructose, but

Carlson says it is from fruit and not from corn)

New Beginnings Nutritionals Chewable Vitamin C (yummy)

Springboard D-Hist Jr. (yummy-for seasonal allergies)

Lee Silsby Transdermal B Complex Cream

Thorne Folacal

MB12 shots

What multivitamin do you use?
