im in remission right now, and a few years back i hate some corn on a cob and started a 3 month flare up. i want to try and eat creamed corn. have any of your guys ever had symptoms after eating creamed corn?

That's a high GI rated food, should avoid it.

I can eat corn in any fashion and have no problems, this disesase is very individualistic...I say try a very small amount and see how it goes, others may disagree, to each their own. A small amount is key when it comes to a food you're not sure about...and don't forget that often people's "safe foods" can turn on them at any given point as well....there's no guarantees with IBD.

yeah i thinks thats what ill do. i was going to eat it in sheperds pie tonight, so its not a huge amount of creamed corn. i use to eat 1 corn on a cob and i was fine. i was thinking since its more broken up it shouldnt be as bad. im 3 months pregnant lol and just trying to avoid getting a flare up during my pregnancy.

Corn used to be one of my favorite side dishes but my system can no longer handle it. I would definitely try a small amount first and see how you respond.

My opinion, obviously.......I doubt corn put you in a 3 month flare....but one would notice certain foods as a culprit because they're more obvious.

I have no problem with corn, although I don't eat it often. I would definitely see it in the toilet the next morning (I guess I don't chew as well as I should) and my stool might be looser and the corn might be floating, depending on how much I ate.

Creamed corn...less obvious since it's already "chewed" before going in.

Don't equate seeing it in the toilet and a change in what your stool looks like to being disagreeable.  Chew it well and see how you do.

I never had issues with corn, but if you felt an earlier flare was possibly triggered by corn I'd tread lightly.

For the record, most indications are that if you get pregnant while in remission, there's a good chance you'll remain in remission during your pregnancy. I was diagnosed at 6 months pregnant but my GI thinks my symptoms ramped up because I quit smoking when getting pregnant and my previously-minor symptoms got much worse.

I react to a lot of grains. Corn and wheat being one. Rice tho, is never a problem. I have IgG anti bodies to wheat and corn. Been tested from my local naturopathic docter, only cost 100-200 bucks. And so I'm led to believe that I've developed a sensitivity to prolamins (google it, rather interesting chemical in grains).

Its not high GI tho, that sounds silly like I should be on the Aktins diet or that I have diabetes, lol... Fruits juices, rice, millet dont bother me, just those prolamin grains.... Even oats bother me i realize, they always shoot out the other end the fastest.
