Anyone with corn issues related to Celiac disease?

So my 7 month daughter is having issues with corn. I have Celiac and am nursing so she has never even been in contact with gluten. I read today during some research that corn can sometimes cause the same symptoms as gluten in a Celiac patient. If you have experienced with this please leave a comment with your symptoms. Diarrhea, upset stomach, rashes, vomiting? I want to see if there could be a possible correlation as I feel like my daughter is immunosuppressed but the allergist claims it is not an immune response to the corn. Anyone that has experience with their own children I would love to hear from you.

Stormy,

You should read this thread.

LilyR is reacting to Maltodexrin which is made from Corn.

I also recommend you read this research from Australia that might answer some of your auto-immune questions.

Your daughter's stomach acid could be low and the doctor's don't know or think to test for it.

See/quoting from the above research entitled "Digestive and Nutritional

Considerations in Celiac Disease: Could Supplementation Help?" read it all when you get a chance.

"One study found allergenic anti-gens were reduced up to 10,000-fold by adequate gas-tric acid. Subjects on acid-blocking medications were

also 10.5 times more susceptible to IgE-mediated food

reactions, with an elevation in IgE antibodies remaining

five months after a three-month course of acid blocker

therapy."

Which explains to me why people with low stomach acid often have auto-immune reactions to several proteins.

Commonly called 'cross reacitivity' up to and including Corn in some Celiac's and why other food allergens are common triggers in Celiacs' including the common dairy (Lactose) allergy and soy etc.

I hope this helpful.

*****this is not medical advice but I have found when I treated my low stomach acid many of my GI problems got better.

At least now your doctor and you will know to check for it as a possible co-morbid condition.

good luck on your continued journey.  I had GI problems as kid and all my life really until I found out Pellagra also occurs in Celiac's and if your daughter has issues with Corn that is the medical definition of Pellagra.

Your daughter may have also terrible diaper rash/eczema if she is low in Niacin here is the research about the skin presentations of low Niacinamide.

(She may or may not) but it is something too also look for and you might have developed Heartburn/GERD/IBS from your pregnancy that has not gone away now that you have  had your child.

Here is a thread about Celiac disease in/with a Pregnancy.

Again I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice just things that I wish I knew 30+ years ago.

2 Timothy 2: 7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included.

I've recently started eating something that resembles 'baked bread' (except it's not truly bread cause it's made without yeast), and it's made from corn flour and baking powder that contains corn starch instead of gluten. I thought corn flour products were safe for celiacs, but I guess I was wrong. For me the symptoms start immediate and start with heavy bloating, which leaves me gasping for air at times, and improper digestion afterwards.

The reason behind that is due to the starch in the corn and our inability to digest it properly due to our 'gluten damaged' intestines. Also, I wasn't aware of this at first, but my blood test from a week ago showed intolerance to soy as well. This was a real blow for me because the corn flour I used for making pancakes and bread, despite being gluten-free, DID contain soy!

Haven't had any experience with actual corn, however, because it's out of season here and last year, which was the last time I ate some, I was still figuring out what was wrong with me.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Could be the Ozampic is masking your expected symptoms.  Like an analgesic masks pain.  Qzampic slows digestion to lower the rate glucose enters the intestine to slow its effect on glucose level.  It seems it might also slow down the gluten entry into the intestine, reducing its trigger level for the antibodies.  Ultimately the damage from gluten is the same, just not as fast so the pain is less.  Sourdough bread has less gluten.  Ozampic siows its entry.

      You can sell it better if the whole family does gluten free.  If he does have Celiac Diease, it is genetic so either you, your spouse, or both have a 40% chance of also having Celiac.  There are over 200 non classic symptoms also caused by celiac disease not often considered by doctors. Joint pain, muscle pain, muscle cramps, osteoporosis, and allergies for starters.

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hello @MHavoc, thank you for your question and welcome to the clinic. First, has the contstipation abated with the GFD? If your are pursuing further diagnostics you must continue to eat gluten. Each lab has their own reference range for their test, but they indicate an H for high.  Typically anything above 11 is considered positive. Mild chronic inflammation (gastritis) can interfere with intrinsic factor for B12 leading to low B12 causing low MCHC (anemia). So what is causing your gastritis?  A high tTG IgA level generally indicates potential gastrointestinal problems most commonly associated with celiac disease.  Although the biopsy is the Gold Standard for diagnosis, not finding damage in the biopsy does not rule out Celiac Disease. It means they did not find damage where they looked.  The small intestine is over 20 feet long. Many here have been blood positive and biopsy negative, it just delays the diagnosis until you have enough damage to find and fit their diagnostic profile. The Ttg-iga is not only sensitive (90%) but highly specific (98%) and won’t show positive until the damage is severe.  It is estimated that 40% of first degree relatives of diagnosed Celiacs have undiagnosed Celiac Disease, so your sister is a big risk factor in whether you have it. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?  This article explains it better and is quite readable. Celiac Disease can cause deficient vitamin D.  Low vitamin D compromises the immune system.  Any other symptoms? liver enzymes?  Recent cold or flue? Celiac Disease and the malabsorption it causes through vitamin and mineral deficiencies can elicit symptoms not usually associated with Celiac Disease. Case in point maybe your gastritis and anemia.

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      As with most of the people that come here, I have questions and need perspective/info from this wonderful community.  Some background, started having severe constipation that would not abate even with softners (not really fun to talk about), so I was able to finally get in to see my primary and she scheduled some blood work.  One of things she wanted to test for is Celiac Disease due to my sister having celiac disease since a young child. Here are my test results: MCHC = 31.4 so considered slightly low TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA = 78.8 H So with that result, I was scheduled for an endoscope for confirmation of celiac disease, but I am very confused with the results: Diagnosis 1. Duodenum, biopsy: -No pathologic alteration. 2. Stomach, biopsy: -Mild chronic inflammation with reactive epithelial change -H. pylori not identified on immunostained section. -No intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia I am now scheduled to meet with a GI Specialist from the Celiac team, but that won't be until after the New Year.  I would appreciate thoughts about the biopsy report to understand whether it confirms the celiac disease as was indicated by the blood test results. I have been gluten free for two weeks and it is a very difficult adjustment for me as an older 50+ person.
