Corn
Corn intolerance is a digestive condition where the body has difficulty processing corn, leading to gastrointestinal symptoms. This intolerance differs significantly from a corn allergy, which is an immune system reaction and can be more severe and immediate in its effects....
Description
Corn intolerance involves the digestive system’s inability to properly break down corn, resulting in discomfort and various symptoms. This is a non-immune response, contrasting with a corn allergy, which is an immune reaction to proteins in corn. Allergic reactions can include severe symptoms like hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis, while corn intolerance generally leads to milder, primarily digestive symptoms and does not involve the immune system.

Managing corn intolerance or allergy primarily involves avoiding or limiting corn in your diet. Careful reading of food labels is essential, as corn is often present in processed foods, syrups, and as a thickener. Explore alternative grains and starches, such as rice, quinoa, or potatoes. For nutrients typically derived from corn, incorporate other fruits and vegetables. Additionally, keeping a food diary can help in identifying other potential food triggers and monitoring your dietary adjustments.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.
