Thank you. With corn is that things like corn flour or sweetcorn as well as she’s been having sweetcorn recently…(not sure if that’s a very dumb question!) she was tested for food allergies and came up negative to everything including wheat.

I had put the symptoms down to an assumed lactose intolerance (both myself and my son have this) and we had started the ladder to come out of this with her. She has been dairy free for 2+yrs. however her symptoms w...
