High fructose corn syrup is bad enough without spreading false information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fructose_corn_syrup<br />Even if you don't believe the wikipedia entry, ask yourself why farmers would grow corn to the full ear stage when the stalks are brittle and have little food value, when they could just harvest it at the green stage and get more sugars.<br />Check your information.

Many companies are getting on the bandwagon and removing it but you have to just read to make sure. It will always be listed. Usually if it isn't a natural type product, it will have it in it, even bread and juices! Just read and you will soon figure out what products you like has it in. If you need specifics on what to buy, let me know. Email me anytime!Shari Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474703445475943040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-24325581406110414372011-05-18T23:37:42.344-07:002011-05-18T23:37:42.344-07:00I know this will sound ridiculous to you but pleas...I know this will sound ridiculous to you but please list items that have HFCS in them that should be avoided besides soda.I can think of the obvious things, but what are some of the ones people look over or don't realize? I have a child who I think has a leaky gut. I am not sure where to start and how to help her. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated-<br />Thanks so much & love your blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-77182869322436799872011-05-16T22:03:45.268-07:002011-05-16T22:03:45.268-07:00Healing a leaky gut takes a long time, especially ...Healing a leaky gut takes a long time, especially if you have dealt with issues for a long time. It also takes scrupulous work; you can't half do it. My son is 6 1/2 and we have done everything since he was 2. He is much better but we are still not done yet! You look at symptoms to disappear and allergies to clear up along with good stools. Testing gives you more of an accurate idea of where you are. My son used to have eczema , runny stools, anger issues, no desire for food, etc. He now has firm stools, no eczema, much less allergies, pretty stable moods, etc. We are getting there. You need to remove allergens and add in probiotics to name a few things. It can be done but most give up before they see any results. The harder you hit it, the quicker you will heal! It absolutely can be done and in most cases, you can have a normal diet again. Controlling yeast is one of the most important things as well. <br /><br />As for the Casein, the issue isn't just intolerance, it is an enzyme problem. Like Gluten, casein is a protein and when you have a leaky gut issue or don't have the enzymes needed to break down the proteins, they are absorbed in to the body as a drug. It is a literal opiate to the brain. I always tell people to do dairy and gluten. Many times an allergy test will tell them they aren't allergic to dairy or wheat but we aren't just talking about allergies here. It is a protein problem that causes so much turmoil in these kids. Many times with speech issues, you are also looking at a B12 methylization issue and heavy metals. Gluten and Casein are the first attack but getting the B12 shots and fixing the underlying chemical problems are also key. Yeast also goes hand in hand with gut issues. <br /><br />So complex. Sooooo frustrating!Shari Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474703445475943040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-23515539629661305302011-05-16T21:34:52.670-07:002011-05-16T21:34:52.670-07:00Laura, I agree - it's so hard to know if the g...Laura, I agree - it's so hard to know if the gut is healing because it's not something you can see or measure very well.<br /><br />Shari, what do you think about casein intolerance...what are some symptoms? My son suffered from seizures in the past and he is gluten/corn free but is now dealing with moderate speech delay. I don't see any allergic tendencies in him with dairy and he doesn't consume a whole lot of it but I wondered what some things to look for might be.kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01036681846580798894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-70121420801275757902011-05-16T21:26:19.725-07:002011-05-16T21:26:19.725-07:00Here is my question.

We see a ton of research about leaky gut and the causes, but what I don't see are any studies talking about time to heal and if it is possible to fully "fix" the lining in your digestive system. I have eliminated gluten, casein, eggs, soy and a few other things and I have no way of knowing if my lining will ever heal. Have you seen anything?Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548366194679039444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-1373485755840678472011-05-16T13:35:14.985-07:002011-05-16T13:35:14.985-07:00this article just made me cry..my one year old got...this article just made me cry..my one year old got breast milk until he turned 1 but after that we tried to change to cow milk only to find out he's allergic to it so for the last 11 months we've been using toddler formula because that doesn't give him diarrhea and has plenty of protein vs almond/coconut milk because he will not eat enough of other high protein foods like chicken, meat, eggs, etc.<br />We eliminated Corn Syrup from our diets about a year ago, I never thought of checking his formula, I would've never imagined that horrible ingredient would be used in formula, it is and I've been giving it to one of the most important people in my life, damn formula manufacturers, it's all about the money, why do they want people to think it's about our babies' health and well being, I'm beyond infuriated right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-39765602918287462032011-05-16T12:33:13.401-07:002011-05-16T12:33:13.401-07:00Amen sister!Amen sister!Cindy Sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15508384031066877068noreply@blogger.com
