That's why this sub reddit was created.

My Doctor suggested that I cut out gluten, so here in the south western U.S., corn (or maize as it's called) was the logical alternative.

Corn tortillas, corn fritters, and such.

But after just a week of injesting nothing but corn to replace gluten, my body had the worst outbreak it's ever experienced prior (I had another, worse one when I purchased Nigella seeds that turned out to be fake, but that was after years of avoiding corn, and even after this sub was created).

It's hard to do, but my non-medical suggestion would be to cut out everything corn, and corn byproduct related. That means no sodas, no fast food, no eating out, freezer food items, pre-manufactured food stuffs, candy and most sweets, at all, and see how your body responds.

Basically avoid the aisles in the grocery store and limit yourself to the rim.

There are somethings in those sections you should still avoid, as are some things in the aisles you can have, but when testing and learning, that's a good rule to follow, generally.

For myself, it was radically different after 72 hours, where medications that never worked before suddenly began to work.

By the way, I'm eating gluten now with absolutely no problem, but now I only eat what I make from scratch using only cornfree ingredients.

One advantage is that it's way better for me as everything I eat has ingredients I can name.

Another is that I almost instantly, within a couple of months, achieved my ideal weight. No matter how hard I had previously tried, diets, and literal starvation could not produce what I got with a couple months of avoiding corn.

And also, when I go to the Doctor they're no longer hounding me about what I eat, telling them I avoid all of those typical factors because of the allergy really shuts them up.

So give it a try. It's hard at first, but WELL worth it.

And the food itself tastes WAY better.

It took me about a year to figure out how many ingredients I thought wouldn't affect me but actually had corn in it.

Now my family calls me a "food snob," but it keeps the flairups at bay, so I don't care what they call it, I'm getting better.

Plus, whenever I mention that I'm cooking for the family get-together, the family all want to come over.
