I am in favor of “truth in labeling” too. While you want to keep the wheat out of cornbread, I want to keep the corn out of everything. I am VERY allergic to corn, and as far as I can tell corn is in almost everything sold in the supermarket that has 3 or more ingredients. It will be corn starch corn flour, corn oil, or high fructos corn syrup. also sweeterner dextros and moltos are made from corn and maltodextrin is a flavor enhancer, and it makes my throat close up. Very scary when that happens.

Very rare condition too, but I've heard of it in some of the Celiac websites. The maltodextrin, etc. made from wheat is totally devoid of the offending protein, so I'd guess that made from corn is equally devoid.

Have you tried to pin down the exact chemical that's causing you the problem?
