The list is so very short right now, for one thing. I had a major setback a couple years ago where I both became insanely more sensitive to corn traces AND possibly developed other food allergies. (I have since added back a few things I was certain I was allergic to because they again turned out to be corntaminated.)
But I am still in the process of figuring out what I can eat and not. Additionally, what different people tolerate is so *very* individual. There is so much that I tolerate that no one else will, even people who in many other ways are less sensitive to traces of corn than me, and there are also plenty of things I don’t tolerate that others do, even super-sensitive folks. But a number of people have asked, and it’s also an interesting reference. Maybe it will be helpful for people or at least be interesting. If you read this list and think that there isn’t much on it, please note that if it’s not on this list, I’m not eating it. No, there is no cooking oil on it. There are very few legumes on it. And also note that of the items on the list, I am also not able to get a steady supply at all times, so often am only eating about a third of this list at any given point in time. Also consider that there are actually people getting by with *less*. They’re probably just too overwhelmed to blog about it.
Important Note: In addition to a highly sensitive corn allergy, I have multiple food allergies, some of which are unknown. If I react to an item it MAY not be corn. When I feel relatively certain it is corn, or at least know it is *some* allergen contaminating an item rather than the food itself, I will say so and usually present the evidence of why I think so so that you can draw your own conclusions. If I just say “I react to it” without explanation, then I probably don’t know whether it was corn or not. You can find more info about my history and diagnoses on my “Allergy History” page. Disclaimer: This is what is safe for ME. Use your own judgement and try everything that is new to you carefully. This post was first written in July of 2013, and at the time of writing my list of safe foods and products was very short, but is slowly growing. (The story of why that is is very long.) At the time of last update (March 2015), the list is still pretty short but WAY better than before.
I make most of my my own body products. Recipes can be found here. And of course, I also make a lot of my own cleaning products. A note on silicone: There are some questions about the safety of silicone bakeware. The conclusion so far is that it seems relatively safe but there just haven’t been many studies done. With respect to a corn allergy, one thing you’d want to worry about would be whether the cheaper silicone items could have corny fillers and dyes. Additionally it is important to note that silpats (which I use and happily) are actually fiberglass coated in silicone, so you might want to avoid using a pizza cutter or sharp knife on your silpat. I try to go with glass over plastic and when I store in glass I try not to let the food touch the lids. For the most part I try to use herbs that are fresh from specific vendors at the farmers market or my own garden. I dry and store them for the winter. I plan to trial some more pre-packaged spices soon but it hasn’t been a priority as I have a very short safe list otherwise.
At this time I am am *mostly* eating fruits and vegetables from specific local vendors at the farmers market. These are vendors that I have talked with and determined that they use practices that work for me allergywise. (For ideas on what questions to ask, reference Where’s the Corn in Foods? and this awesome list of questions.) I do have just a couple of grocery store items I can eat, and then there are a couple of items I mail order away for because it is easier than finding them safe locally. There are also just a few items that I have discovered I can eat only if I grow them myself, mostly root vegetables, because the organic fertilizers that folks are using are problematic for me. Not sure if that is for corn reasons or what. General advice about asking questions of farms: Check about the spray status of *each* crop, as different plants will have different possible issues. For example, squash,pole beans, and eggplants may have powdery mildew issues and be sprayed for that, and brassicas (like broccoli) may have pest issues that will decimate a crop in a day.
These items may be sprayed while some crops like peppers that are resistant to these issues may not be. Also ask about sprays a few different ways- Often people are accustomed to answering questions from the perspective of toxicity or general safety, and will reply that they don’t “do anything” to a crop, when they mean they don’t do anything *toxic* to it. Something that works for me is to just ask them about whether a specific plant is pretty hardy or if it’s susceptible to blight or pests, and how they deal with that. Mail Order Fruits & Veggies Note that these foods are subject to seasonal availability, so it is very important that I buy extra and preserve while they are available. All items must be spray free. Fertilizer seems to only matter for items that grow below the ground our touch the ground. Items that are co-grown with corn are a problem for me, and during corn harvest season anything that is even transported on a truck with corn I react to. As much as possible, I avoid farms that also grow corn.
Grown Myself (Curently this should probably be read as, “stuff I *could* eat if I didn’t suck at gardening.) From the Grocery Store (all items organic, unwaxed, and not packaged in any kind of plastic bags or wrap, however I may be getting lucky with if and what kinds of sprays or fungicides are being used. Your mileage may vary depending on your sensitivities and the suppliers for your particular store) NOTE: Packaging is a HUGE problem with cheese. Many/most plastic wraps are either dusted with corn starch or in some other way are corny and cause a massive reaction. Additionally the surface cleaners and disinfectants that many shops will use will contaminate cheese. I happen to have completely lucked out and found a local shop (Metropolitan Market in West Seattle) that uses products that are okay for me. The same chain but a different shop (Bellevue) is NOT safe for me. So finding the cheese itself is only half the problem. For items like the Herve Mons Emmental, the wheel is something like 150-200lbs, so ordering the whole wheel is probably not reasonable unless you have a HUGE group buy.
