Food

I’m collecting food and drinks here that are safe for me to consume. I’m currently on a gluten-free, corn-free, rice-free diet. Because of my corn allergy I cannot eat most dairy (it’s usually all corn-fed) so it is important I only eat grass-fed dairy. It will say “grass-fed” on the label. “Pasture raised” does NOT mean grass-fed. This includes anything made from milk, like cream cheese and yogurt. So far I have not found a corn-free cheese or cream cheese. The grass-fed cheeses all have “vegetable enzymes” made from corn.

Corn is also a hard to identify ingredient that is in almost all packaged, canned, and jarred foods. Here is a link to a list of common ingredients that are made from corn:

This is my current allergy card:

[Updated 9-16-2018] I haven’t tried many of these yet, but I plan to come back and make notes as I try them.

Safe items I have found and which store in my area I found them at:

Several stores carry Bragg

Natural Grocers

Natural Grocers

Natural Grocers. And A FAVORITE!

This pesto is SO GOOD

Trader Joe’s

Haven’t seen this at many Safeways. I think my Fred Meyer carries it, and I saw it at my WinCo

These Oat Thins are soooo good

These Preserves are also at New Seasons.

5 stars, love this hummus

These buckwheat crackers are plain and a good alternative to rice cakes. I like them with nutbutter and preserves.

If you like a dry cider (not very sweet), Jefferson Dry is perfect.

This is the only toothpaste that is confirmed to be corn-free. I also have neem bark (it’s a twig from a neem tree) that I use to brush my teeth and I prefer it to anything else.

Lara Bars can be found at most grocery stores.

The only popsicles (or frozen treat) I’ve found so far. Very good!

Finally found a common potato chip without corn oil or corn ingredients!
