Re:Enzymes my son reacted to..............Help advice needed

[Guest guest]

An angry, violent reaction is pretty typical for kids who are sensitive to corn

sugars (which maltodextrin is). Is he sensitive to other corn sugars (like corn

syryp, dextrose) or corn itself?

Not sure if that helped...

>>>The enzymes my son reacted to I found out has Maltodextrin in them

Are you serious????? That's all he eats is corn!!!!!!!! I wonder

if I should do an experiment and remove corn from his diet. Oh man,

I don't know what he would do with his meals LOL He is addicted to

corn and eggs. Last time I tried the enzymes, he had a brownie, so

this time I tried them again today with no gluten (or atleast no

outward gluten) So far no anger, so I'm going to try again

tomorrow, but I am going to try removing corn, or give him very

little bits maybe, he lives on the stuff. Popcorn, tortilla chips,

corn, corn tortillas, corn syrup, corn meal cereals, I figured if it

was corn it was gluten safe. Oh shoot, I just bought corn flour

cereal today. Well maybe I'll let him have his last corn party for

a while.

Thank you very much for the insight, Sue

Sue~ It is very possible that he can eat corn just fine but not the processed

corn sugars. It's also possible that he may react to one type of corn sugar

(maybe in his case it's maltodextrin) but not the others (like corn syrup and

dextrose). My ds reacts terribly to high fructose corn syrup (that stuff is so

nasty it should be illegal) but seems to tolerate other corn sugars fairly well

in small doses. He can eat regular corn (corn on the cob, popcorn, etc) w/o a

lot of problems. Good luck trying to figure it out... it is so hard

sometimes!!!
