Having severe corn allergies can lead to some surprising challenges…there are some very surprising places where corn turns up.
Like envelope glue. And some anti-allergy meds. And even in some IV and IM medications.
Intravenous Vitamin C is a commonly used treatment for severe allergies, for chemo recovery and for other GI issues and the majority of the available brands are all corn sourced, corn carried, or corn based.
I once went into anaphylactic shock due to a vaccination that had a corn sourced ingredient.
