I think I have the same thing. I’m Dutch so it has a different name but after googling it I think we have the same thing. For me it means I can eat corn on a cob because it is cooked corn but cannot eat cornstarch. Cornstarch has a lot if different names so you need to know all the names they use for it. Cornstarch is in a lot of products sometimes even in cremes or medication. It takes some figuring out but once you do you’ll be fine. I hope this was helpfull good luck!!

My nephew was just diagnosed with that and he reacts to all corn products. That includes corn syrup, dextrose, maltodextrose, and all the other hidden names for corn. He also has a seed allergy and corn is a seed so use caution with seeds.

Hello, I haven't been medically diagnosed, I've had to do it myself as I was always sluggish but I do find I can't tolerate corn cakes or popcorn, I just don't eat them now
