  • Another result of processed corn products is corn allergies symptoms for the allergic.

    I have a very bad food allergy to corn protein, starch, and fat. My allergy is bad enough so that when meat from chicken, beef, pork, or fish fed is cooked, the aroma, which I have come to think of as fumes, will make me sick. The worst fumes for me are given off by popping corn. It takes two to six hours for my fume based reaction to manifest. While I do not run a temperature, I experience the body aching associated with the flu that last for days. Also, my digestive memory is activated and I have intestinal symptoms. Then my sleep is disrupted. After an episode, it takes eleven days before I return to my “normal.”

    I have been trying to manage symptom for twelve years by taking the over-the-counter pain medicines of ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and aspirin. In 2005 when I first learned of my food allergies I did an extreme elimination diet. Once I was feeling better I slowly tried reintroducing things. I immediately became suspicious of ibuprofen and acetaminophen. It took until November of 2007 for me to discover that the starch of aspiring is corn starch. It is a recent change for these pain medication manufacturers to label that they contain corn. Prior to that time all of us allergic to corn starch would get temporary relief and the medicine would cause pain symptoms to cause us to take more pain medicine. I bet most of those allergic to corn starch are still duped cash cows. Many pharmaceutical tablets are held together with corn starch.

    I now get some relief from pain by taking white willow bark. This has been used for at least 2,500 years in the Mediterranean rim and its study by the German company, Bayer, led to the original aspirin in the 1800s.
