Mannitol and corn allergy

Has anyone with a highly corn allergic child tried the gut

permeability test? Mannitol is derived from corn and I am afraid to

try it. The doc thinks it is a " purified chemical " and therefore will

be fine. But I have been told this about other corn derived stuff that

then caused a reaction. If we really got a lot of corn it could

produce some serious depression and nasty nerve related symptoms, and

could go on and on for weeks. I am hoping someone might have tried it

and could tell me their experience.

Check out the info in 's book: " Seeds of Deception: Exposing

Industry and Government Lies About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered

Foods You're Eating " . Corn is a genetically-modified crop, unless

organically

grown. It has the potential to do terrible things to the gut and even merge

with your DNA. All corn products are made from genetically-modified corn

unless organic. The doc seems to be uneducated in this area. But you can do the

research yourself and come to your own conclusions. Anything that is a

" purified chemical " is still just a chemical. And why did it need to be

purified in

the first place????? Sounds unsafe to say the least. Organic is best. If man

made it, it's a cheap substitute for the real thing. You may be able to find

the " GMO Trio " ...... 2 DVD's and an audio CD with and

world-renowned scientists who expose some of the stuff that's going on in the

" mad

scientist " world. Farmers in India who took out huge loans to buy

genetically-engineered cotton seed fell into such deep debt that they ended up

committing

suicide. And it's not just overseas. Farmers in Canada and the US are having

severe problems with the genetically-engineered crops and the companies that

produce the seed, etc. GM foods are in every grocery store and restaurant,

in the school cafeterias and institutions. We need to educate ourselves about

food sources and get real familiar with the organic world. I say nix on the

mannitol.

To me, corn is only part of the issue. Mannitol is a man-made substance. Our

bodies do not do well with man-made substances. In " Breaking The Vicious

Cycle " Elaine Gottschall says that only raw honey is good for autistics or

people with digestive disorders. It is a monosaccharide, so it is digested

before

to gets down to where the candida is. Also honey has natural antibacterial,

antifungal, and antiviral properties. It kills molds and yeasts. You can

check out more info at _www.scdiet.com_ (http://www.scdiet.com) .

Hi;

I appreciate your reply and warning about GMO stuff, which I also am

very concerned about, though I did not know some of the things you

mention.

Thing is, even if the corn was organic, unless it truly was " highly

purified " there would be traces of antigen. It was primarily this, an

allergic reaction, that I was concerned about. This would occur

regardless of whether the corn is GMO or organic. We eat zero corn, so

don't usually deal with the GMO issue (the rest of what I feed my kids

is organic where possible).

So I am still wondering whether, GMO issue aside, it might be safe or

not safe for the highly corn-sensitive to use mannitol. I mean, other

corn-derived sugars are not safe, so why would this one be??

Anyone have any leads? I have called the lab--Doctor's Data--they can

tell me nothing, and I have called the pharmacy that makes the sugar

solution, they likewise can tell me nothing, other than yes, it is

derived from corn, corn alcohol in fact, which we react to more

strongly than other stuff.

I really don't want to make my kids guinnea pigs.

This test is desirable in part because the Ex disputes that the kids

have allergies. Proving they have leaky guts is a step in the right

direction to proving that they have allergies.
