![]() ![]() Now, I’ve had to cut almost all canned food items from our pantry (we do consume a lot of canned organic coconut milk). The main thing we did is clean up our diet even MORE to reflect a whole foods diet. How did I solve these problems so corn allergy people can still feel normal in our home? I won’t bore you with any more details.Ĥ Solutions for Corn Allergy People Who Want to Feel Normal This has made my crew sad, they all enjoy their dipping sauces. Not to mention salt, yes salt too has corn in it (at least the salt most people add to their food). Distilled vinegar is, you guessed it, derived from corn. Virtually all condiments are made with vinegar – distilled vinegar. Absolutely not! To date, I’ve found no condiments at any of our local grocery stores that are corn-free. All of them were made with distilled vinegar. Citric acid is a corn derivative.Īnd what about all of my lovely pickles I canned this past summer? Nobody can eat them right now. Yes the front says 100% juice, but the back says citric acid. Go down the juice aisle and look at the back of every single container of juice. What about making homemade jello for my kids? Gelatin, stevia, and fruit juice – a fun treat without a bunch of added junk. If they were free of both of these than they most assuredly had dextrose. What about the bacon and sausage my kids loved to eat for breakfast? If they didn’t have corn syrup in them then they had MSG. You know, everything that has the word “corn” in it is off-limits. When I was challenged to cut corn out my families diet 100%, due to the corn allergy issues, my eyes were opened to all of the insidious places it was lurking in my pantry and refrigerator! Of course I knew how to avoid the common culprits: corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, corn flour, corn starch, corn meal, and, of course, corn. 4 Unexpected Items I Had to Stop Feeding My Family Due to a Corn Allergy I didn’t think that we were consuming much corn, with the occasional exception of when I was hit with a serious Mexican craving and my husband would take me to my favorite Mexican restaurant on a date. Our diet consisted of primarily of whole foods. We were gluten-free (the kids were mostly gluten-free with occasional treats at grandmas house, or special events). You see, prior to food allergy testing, I thought we ate a pretty “clean” diet. People think dairy is hard…gluten…but take it from me, someone who has cut all of those, corn is by far the most difficult. Little did I know just how difficult it would be when 3 out of 4 of us who were tested for food allergies would test positive for a corn allergy (I was the lucky one with no corn allergy). Where does that leave someone who has tested positive for a corn food allergy? Oy! Did you know it’s in yogurt? Deli meat? Bacon? Sausage? Potato chips? Toothpaste? Juice? Salt? Yes, I’m now convinced that virtually anything that is not in a whole food form has added corn.

Touch the jello very gently with a fingertip and lift it immediately. When 15 minutes is up, take the pan out from the refrigerator and do a touch test.Stir well until the yogurt has fully dissolved without any lumps. In the meantime, add 1½ tablespoon of yogurt to the remaining half of the purple jello.We want it to partially set before adding the next layer. Pour one half into the pan and place the pan in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Separate half of the jello into another container, around ¾ cup. Now we'll start layering the jellos and we'll start with the purple jello.This will help the jello to release later and you won't be able to taste any of the spray. Add 1¼ cups of boiling water into each container and stir to dissolve. ![]() Add each gelatin mix into individual containers.
