  1. Use of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to suppress allergic hypersensitivity reactions -
    youtube.com/watch?v=LOnsjfECvr

    One of my main reactions is painful swallowing. I had an upper endoscopy to check for eosinophilic esophagitis but biopsies were normal - but I have the same symptoms as EoE. Pain is greatly reduced by drinking a baking soda solution.

    I first tried baking soda after I noticed that my symptoms were worse if drinking something acidic (lemon water), and improved if I drank something basic (Oatly oatmilk). I had not seen the video or heard of the Japanese case report.

  2. I knew before watching the following video that some brands of honey cut their product with corn syrup - because I reacted to them. I now buy expensive Manuka honey and so far have not reacted to any of the brands I have tried (3 brands so far).

  7. Before I developed a corn allergy, when I had a migraine I used to drink coke for the caffeine. I have a migraine and my partner found some Mexican coke at the store which is prominently labelled as containing cane sugar. I hope it's legit, but according to this video - it might not be. I had some anyway. We'll see.

  17. Someone on YouTube comments asked me what I thought was in cucurbits (squash/melon family veg) that I react to. I had mentioned previously that Corn Allergy Girl (author of now defunct blog of same name) also reacts to most cucurbits (except cucumber). Here's my response, in case anyone has any input:

    " I wish I knew. I'm not even sure if the reaction is due to cross-reactivity with corn allergen or if it is due to mast cell activation syndrome. To complicate things further, Corn Allergy Girl has questioned whether corn allergy is due entirely to reaction with the corn protein zein or if people also react to carbohydrate epitopes (bits of the molecule that makes a pattern that is recognized by the immune system) and I think it might be a possibility. So the reaction to cucurbits might be due to cross-reactivity with a similar carbohydrate found in corn. Humans have antibodies to carbohydrate epitopes (called cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCD)), but they are not supposed to cause allergic reactions and allergy tests are designed to ignore these antibodies. I have wondered what would happen if something went wrong in whatever mechanisms the body uses to ignore CCD antibodies. According to one paper*, 'The role of CCDs and their specific IgE antibodies in the pathophysiology of allergic diseases is controversial. ' "

  19. My local grocery store has replaced the only corn-free mustard it carried with another brand that uses corn.

    It's just exhausting constantly managing food.

    This grocer is less than ½ mile from my home, but there is a different one 1¼ miles away that still carries the safe mustard. It's an inconvenience to make a special trip to buy mustard, but it's manageable.

    Worse things have happened. I know that. It just wears on me.

  24. I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm pretty out of focus this morning. Ended up opening Facebook instead of Mastodon. Was quite disappointed and was thinking that I really needed to clean up my follows. Glad it turned out to be a fuzzled brain problem.

    (I had a bakery-made cheesecake yesterday. The likelihood that a bakery would make anything without using either or both corn syrup or cornstarch is close to nil, and I know that. And now I have regrets. And misery.)

  25. The 1999 pdf of CORN DERIVATIVES and BYPRODUCTS is certainly worth paying some scrutiny of … do take a look, you may well be quite surprised that corn was being used for so many things nearly a quarter of a century ago!!!

  26. Corn and the activation of large groups of cells in the body making them release chemicals that affect your health. Could Corn be the missing link to your symptoms? Would elimination of CORN perhaps offer better quality health?
