Corn Reaction To Namaste Products

Well, here I am having yet another night's sleep ruined by horrible stomach pain, bloating and all that loveliness.

This is my second day in a row of reaction to what I can only assume is corn slipping into my diet somewhere. The only thing I did both days was eat Namaste products. Has anyone else reacted to this product with a corn allergy or sensitivity? I am going out of my mind trying to figure out what it is so I can stop eating it.

At this point, I'm getting corn reactions about 2 times a week. It entails several hours of EXTREME abdominal pain and bloating, followed by cold symptoms, C, and feeling yucky for 2 days or so. I gotta say, I'm getting very frustrated.

Which Namaste products are you getting the reactions from? My 18 year old daughter, who has been allergic to corn since birth, hasn't reacted to any of the Namaste products we are using. I also react to corn, in addition to others, but not as strongly as she does, and I haven't noticed anything either. Maybe we're just not using the same products?

Yesterday was the pizza crust mix, and today the cheesy pasta....which I know makes no sense because it doesn't have xanthan gum which would seem to be the only thing that could possibly be CC'd.

I did some googling and it does seem that some people have reacted. >shrug< It is the only thing I've eaten that I didn't make myself 100% from scratch.

This corn thing is really kicking my butt. Everytime I think I have it under control I'm sick again.

I am corn sensitive, but the more highly refined the corn the less I react, so I guess I am lucky. A corn chip or piece of popcorn will kill me, but some cornstarch or xanthan gum is okay. :) I use Namaste because it has no potato starch or soy.

How funny, I'm the exact opposite. The more refined it is the sicker I am. I was cooking and grabbed powdered sugar before I realized it had cornstarch in it. Just stirring it into something (I threw it away 30 seconds later) and I had a small reaction. Caramel color will send me over the edge.

I was using the random Namaste product because they say they're corn, gluten, dairy and soy free. >shrug< Unless maybe I'm reacting to something else like the brown rice flour, which as I think of it could be a distinct possibility.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Jaylan! Almost all of the symptoms and medical conditions you describe have been found to be associated with celiac disease. But they can also be caused by other things as well. There certainly is enough circumstantial evidence in your list of medical problems to warrant being tested for celiac disease. Ask your physician to order a celiac panel consisting of, at the very minimum, these two blood antibody tests: total IGA and tTG-IGA. Please do not attempt to limit your gluten intake before the blood draw is taken or you will invalidate the testing. Incidentally, celiac disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By Jaylan · Posted

      Hi there!  I’ve recently been tested for celiac disease, along with other autoimmune diseases. My symptoms started back in 2018 with joint pain in my knees. Since then, it has progressively worsened. I now have joint pain in both knees, elbows, and sometimes my shoulders. The pain is almost unbearable. I feel so stiff in the mornings, and this stiffness can last the whole day. I also experience swelling and warmth around those areas.   Other symptoms include IBS (diagnosed at age 16), restless legs, chest pain, tiredness, miscarriages, bloating, and sharp pain on the right side of my stomach. In the past, I’ve also had problems with a vitamin D deficiency, and my serum folate levels recently came back very low.   My question is: How likely is it that I have celiac disease?

      Celebrity Luncheon Loaf Gluten Free

      By robingfellow · Posted

      The Celebrity brand Luncheon Loaf (found at dollar tree, distributed by Atalanta Corporation) is gluten free according to the distributor. I emailed their customer service line for information on the ingredients, and they contacted the vendor and followed up with me that the "starch" ingredient I was worried about is corn and potato. It should be safe.
