corn freedom

Wish I had more medical understanding… but wonder if this issue can help connect the behavioral responses we see in our adults and mostly children.

Read this after your morning coffee or when ever your brain is firing best. 😊

The neuroglial hypothesis of ME/CFS proposes that problems with the microglial cells in the brain could be causing the disease.

Second Pfizer shot done yesterday. No reactions at all except sore arm. So we are done and feel fine. Good luck to you all. Make sure you check with your doctors about any issues you have. Be safe. Be smart for you.

Vaccine update:

Full disclaimer... this is no way a suggestion always consult your medical professional.

I spoke with our doctor and after his advice for Pfizer and watching friends and corn allergic people posting we decided to go and get Pfizer today.

My son, who is allergic to corn got the Pfizer too and had no reaction at all. We are waiting for any of his other allergy signs since he’s is NOT anaphylactic.

If I forget to post feel free to ask for more info in the future about his well being.

Make the decision that is right for you.

**** update day one after the first dose, sore arm for the three of us. Only one person is corn allergic, so no corn reaction for him 🙂

Make sure to click on the screen shot I took from the article. Johnson and Johnson is the only one that discloses not to take the vaccine if you are allergic to Polysorbate.
I know sucrose is in Pfizer and Moderna.

Has anyone gotten the vaccine with a corn allergy and if yes what were your reactions and how do you react to corn???

Meeting with an allergist to hopefully approve me

These are the ingredients to the two vaccines for covid 19 currently being offered. I was informed by a Canadian resident that they were told the sucrose is in fact corn derived. I cannot help you in your decisions. I am just informing you of the ingredients posted on their sites. If you are corn allergic and have gotten the vaccine please let us know how you felt and what happened to you. Thank you so much.

Hi Everyone!! I hope you are all safely in your homes with your loved ones with enough supplies for a bit.

I wanted to jump in on homeschooling your children due to school closings. It’s overwhelming I know. I was forced to homeschool my children because the school district refused to make a safe environment for Jacob. The ins and outs to that is a story for another time. Right now I wanted to be a support for swallowing the pill of being the person who has to cook all the food, and now, educate.

No matter the age of your children remember cooking is a HUGE lesson! There’s math, fractions, doubling, halfing, tripling etc.

There’s nutrition and science... why is the bread rising?? There’s health and a great treat at the end. You have to cook anyway. You can use cooking as a geography lesson, a history lesson... where did the food come from? When did people eat this type of food...

Budgeting and quantities, smart shopping, most for your money... economics and math again.

There literally is a huge lesson in cleaning, in drawing, coloring, legos (engineering and construction) and quiet time reading, being BORED is important in life too. I’m sure all your kids have devices, for the kids of school age Khan Academy is amazing for all subjects now, it’s free. Most museums have virtual tours and online games or programs. I remember when my youngest was 4-6 he loved the dinosaur puzzles on the website for the Museum of Natural History.

Don’t have stress over specific learning tasks if the teachers didn’t supply them. Just have fun and spend time with each other and honestly since I’m on the flip side of this time, it’s my luckiest moments of life to spend so much time with my children. I cried every night when I started it and by the time we finished I was calm and confident. It takes a bit but you don’t have to worry for more than this school year (or a few more weeks don’t lose it)

Feel free to post here and tag me or just see what other moms/dads and caretakers have to say about their struggles and achievements! You can do this!!!! You will be so proud of what you did when this is over.

Stay safe and healthy! ❤️ Nicole

There were times in the beginning of dealing with corn allergies when I felt super lost! How can I make any food with out my prepared packets and boxes. Then one day I thought of Mexico... are they opening a taco seasoning packet to make tacos? NO! So I learned the seasoning to put in my safe meat (grass fed grass finished organic local farm raised), ground beef. Took a bit of adjusting seasonings but eventually made a combination we were happy with. If you can’t figure out tortillas put it over salad. Put it in eggs, over beans and rice etc etc.

Then I thought of our other quick foods, pizza, Chinese food and on and on. If you search the web you can find any recipes then alter them safe. Corn starch is equivalent to tapioca starch, arrowroot, cassava flour, etc. so no reason to not branch out.

Do not buy packaged quick white rice that has tons of corn starch in it. Better off with whole grain brown rice.

My point is this, nothing is impossible and you can create any flavor or food craving you want if you search the country of origin for recipes.

Update on cardiologist. He redeemed himself today. Our sons heart is perfect which is great news. He did acknowledge the possibility of corn allergies. Which is a big deal. Then he helped us with figuring out how to best update doctors prior to an emergency, eg: local hospitals get a full allergy info sheet, call ahead make an appointment and get info placed into your file. Anticoagulants for blood transfusion are made with corn, check Www.cornallergygirl.com for emergency room and medical info. She is anaphylactic to corn so her treatment would be different than our son who has neurological reactions and will display differently. The medications needed to fix anaphylaxis is different than for neurological issues. So these things are important for the intake to know in advance so they can see what they need to deal with. There are some religions who do not allow blood transfusions from donors so there is other options in place for them, he stated we should look into those.

Anyway, get your stuff in order, keep a medic alert bracelet on and laminates index card info in your wallet and a website or two with comprehensive quick read emergency info in case you’re not capable of speaking. If you don’t already have this, make a favorite trusted person your Medical Proxy, this way they get called and can advocate for you. I am working on this and was told it’s on the internet to download and it takes two minutes.

Good luck and make sure to plan ahead.
