My December 4, 2017, Email to Scott H. Sicherer, MD, FAAAAI

Dear Dr. Sicherer:

I read your article (referenced below), and was pleased to read your recommendation that people with allergies should avoid consuming their particular allergens.  In fact, I have read many articles recommending the same avoidance policy.  It is for this reason that I was alarmed by your following statement as it relates to corn allergies; and, for the safety of the corn allergy population, I appreciate that this article has been removed from the AAAAI website.  

I read heartbreaking daily testimonies from the 7,000+ members of our corn allergy group (one of many); particularly from parents of corn-allergic infants, due to the lack of commercially-manufactured corn-free formulas.  These parents are resorting to goat's and camel's milk in an effort to nourish these suffering babies, many of whom have been diagnosed with "failure to thrive" as a result of their allergy to corn.  Other members struggle just to find safe sources of drinking water (corn-derived purification chemicals in tap water), and many are required to have their medications compounded to exclude corn (common filler).  It is not just corn, but everything derived from corn that can actually be fatal to the anaphylactic corn-allergic individual.  Please understand that removing the corn "protein" does not render corn hypoallergenic (per numerous personal testimonies); and, thus, all corn/corn derivatives must be strictly avoided for anyone suffering with a corn allergy (also includes corn starch, corn syrup, glucose syrup, dextrose, or high fructose corn syrup, all corn-derived acids, etc.). 

I have recently shared other "Ask the Expert" articles with our corn allergy group that appear to approve the ingestion of corn/corn derivatives for corn-allergic patients.  As with any allergen, this advice can result in a life-threatening reaction; and it is my hope that the no further "Ask the Expert" articles reflect this recommendation.

Statements by Dr. Sicherer, “Avoidance of Corn Allergen," AAAAI, Ask the Expert, 2012

"From a clinical perspective, we use formulas that contain corn syrup and corn syrup solids without difficulty for patients who are allergic to corn. We therefore do not restrict a formula with these ingredients for a patient with corn allergy. However, we are not aware of specific allergenicity studies on these ingredients.

Corn starch is an ingredient that may have a very trace amount of corn protein (which probably has no clinical relevance for most people with a corn allergy). Baking powder contains corn starch, but the amount of baking powder ever used in a product is so small that the amount of corn starch would be even smaller, and, therefore, the amount of corn protein would be extremely miniscule- almost surely undetectable in a serving of such a product.

Corn starch (already with only very trace protein) is the starting material for corn syrup. The final products of corn syrup, glucose syrup, dextrose (granular) or high fructose corn syrup should have undetectable corn protein."

"Patient education: Food allergy treatment and avoidance (Beyond the Basics)," Scott H. Sicherer, MD, FAAAAI, UpToDate, April 25, 2017

"People with food allergies can have serious or even life-threatening reactions after consuming certain foods. The most important strategy in the management of food allergies is to avoid eating these foods."

Oral Challenge of Mazola Corn Oil to Test Hypothesis Presented by Dr. Phil Lieberman

WARNING:  NEVER ATTEMPT AN ORAL CHALLENGE IF

YOU ARE ANAPHYLACTIC TO YOUR ALLERGEN, WHICH SHOULD ONLY

BE CONDUCTED IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR PHYSICIAN

December 14, 2017, Oral Challenge of Mazola Corn Oil

Since I am not anaphylactic* to corn, I conducted this oral challenge today to test the hypothesis presented by Dr. Phil Lieberman in the "Ask the Expert" article that appeared on the American Academy of Asthma Allergy & Immunology (AAAAI) website.  Thankfully, for the safety of the corn allergy population this article has since been removed from their website.

“Avoidance of Corn Allergen," AAAAI, Ask the Expert, 2012
https://www.aaaai.org/ask-the-expert/avoidance-corn-allergen

Statement by Phil Lieberman, MD

". . . the issue is complex because some products, such as corn oils, are labeled as having corn, but actually do not contain corn allergen."

Before conducting this oral challenge, I called ACH Food Companies, Inc. (manufacturer of Mazola corn oil), and read them Dr. Lieberman's statement.  They told me that Mazola corn oil contains corn; and, therefore, should be avoided by anyone with an allergy to corn.

My 12/14/17 email to Dr. Lieberman:

Dear Dr. Lieberman:

Per my email to you yesterday, I conducted an oral challenge today of Mazola corn oil.

Results prior to consuming corn oil:
Resting pulse rate: 56 bpm
BP: 96/65

Reactions after consuming Mazola corn oil (2 teaspoons):
Pounding heart with increased pulse rate (101 bpm) within 25 minutes of consumption. Two hours later, still experienced pounding heart w/increased pulse rate (92 bpm). I didn't experience any significant increase/decrease in my BP. Since I also experienced acute abdominal swelling, I took an antihistamine.

Conclusion:
Corn oil should be avoided by anyone with an allergy and/or intolerance to corn.

*Since I have never experienced an anaphylactic reaction to corn, I felt safe conducting this test since I had epinephrine auto-injector pens available (prescribed for my allergy to most antibiotics).  I strongly recommend that you do not attempt any oral challenge unless you are in the presence of your physician.

American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI)

"Because of the possibility of a severe reaction, an oral food challenge should be conducted only by experienced allergists in a doctor’s office or at a food challenge center, with emergency medication and equipment on hand."

Removing a Food Protein Does Not Guarantee an Allergen Hypoallergenic

(Updated March 26, 2021)

I have read far too many personal testimonies in our corn allergy group of over 7,000 members [now 12K+ members] which confirm that the removal of corn "protein" does not guarantee corn hypoallergenic.  The next time a medical professional or manufacturing company declares to you that a particular product should be safe since the corn "protein" has been removed, please request that they produce the documentation to confirm their claim.  From the articles I have researched on this subject, it appears that this claim is false or misleading.

Personal Testimony (reprinted with permission by C.P.)
"I had a doctor prescribe a cream with refined peanut oil (dermasmoothe) knowing my daughter was anaphylactic to them. Guaranteed it would be safe. Put a little on her leg and she went into full body hives. I reported it and she still tried to prescribe it again! I refuse everything now and do my own research."

"James R. Baker, Jr., MD and CEO and Chief Medical Officer of Food Allergy Research and Education, an advocacy group for people with food allergies, cautions, “we still have much to learn about the biology of an allergic response to a food protein. At this point, there are too many unanswered questions in the field of food allergy and in the specific research on hypoallergenic peanuts [or corn] to be able to foresee all of the challenges and implications that such a product would bring."
https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/allergy-free-peanuts-not-so-fast/

"10.4 Future Trends
Newer technologies, such as genetic modification, are being developed to reduce allergenicity by removing, silencing, or modifying the genes for specific allergenic proteins within foods . . . To date, however, there is no example of a food allergen that has been rendered completely devoid of allergenic activity using these methods.  This is due to the fact that each food contains a number of allergenic proteins, each with multiple allergenic epitopes.  Unless these methods can eliminate all of these proteins, or modify all allergenic epitopes, the remaining proteins or epitopes could still elicit a reaction in sensitive individuals (FDA, 2005)."

"3. Cross-Contact
[Note:  Since corn is ubiquitous and is currently exempt from FDA labeling requirements, cross-contact is a major cause of allergic reactions to the corn allergy population.]

Allergens, or proteins derived from allergenic foods, may be present in foods as the result of cross-contact during processing and handling. The term "cross-contact" describes the inadvertent introduction of an allergen into a product that would not intentionally contain that allergen as an ingredient. Cross-contact may occur when a residue or other trace amount of a food allergen is present on food contact surfaces, production machinery, or is air-borne, and unintentionally becomes incorporated into a product not intended to contain, and not labeled as containing, the allergen. Cross-contact may also result when multiple foods are produced in the same facility or on the same processing line, through the misuse of rework, as the result of ineffective cleaning, or may result from customary methods of growing and harvesting crops, as well as from the use of shared storage, transportation, or production equipment. Cross-contact of foods with allergens has been shown to lead to allergic reactions in consumers on numerous occasions (Gern et al., 1991; Jones et al., 1992; Yunginger et al., 1983). Much cross-contact can be avoided by controlling the production environment."

Non-FDA-Compliant "Corn-Free" Claims (Revised 11/16/17)

Title 21 U.S.C. - Section 343, Chapter 1 - Adulterated or Misbranded Foods or Drugs

The FDA representative I spoke with this morning explained that if a company advertises a product as "corn free" when, in fact, it contains derivatives of corn; this constitutes false labeling, and is illegal; e.g., corn-derived xanthan gum, corn-derived ascorbic acid, etc.
This is why it is very important that you call your state FDA representative to file an adverse reaction report by telephone if you experience an allergic reaction to products labeled as corn free, or if a company representative has verbally claimed that a product is corn free.  Note that the FDA requires photographs of each side of the container to be submitted to them electronically.  It would also be helpful if you save your receipt, so you can let them know the date of purchase and from where the product was purchased. FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinators https://www.fda.gov/Safety/ReportaProblem/ConsumerComplaintCoordinators/default.htm
If you discover a product that is labeled as corn free; but it is apparent that it contains corn derivatives, refer the company to the following U.S.C. regulation: Title 21 U.S.C. - Section 343, Chapter 1 - Adulterated or Misbranded Foods or Drugs https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2010-title21/html/USCODE-2010-title21-chap1.htm

AAAAI, Ask the Expert, Phil Lieberman, M.D., 3/22/13

"Elimination of corn maltodextrin in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis who have a positive skin test to corn"

"Corn is not one of the common “Big 6” allergens that are felt to worsen eosinophilic esophagitis . . ."

". . . the fact that your patient has a positive skin test to corn or to any other food would not automatically suggest removal of that food from their diet."
http://www.aaaai.org/ask-the-expert/elimination-of-corn-maltodextrin


In response to Dr. Lieberman's statement, I sent him the following documentation:

"Maize/Corn," Thermo Scientific, 2012
"Maize has been implicated as one of the causative foods of eosinophilic esophagitis, a disorder with symptoms suggestive of gastroesophageal reflux disease but unresponsive to conventional reflux therapies (58)."
http://www.phadia.com/en/Products/Allergy-testing-products/ImmunoCAP-Allergen-Information/Food-of-Plant-Origin/Grains/MaizeCorn/

Maltodextrin, Wikipedia
"Maltodextrin can be enzymatically derived from any starch. In the US, this starch is usually corn; in Europe, it is commonly wheat."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltodextrin

My Personal Story:
From 2008-2011 I suffered daily reactions to nearly everything I consumed--it felt like I was being poisoned.  Since I did not realize that I had an allergy to corn (ubiquitous), I did not take an antihistamine to resolve my symptoms; and these reactions lasted for up to 7 hours every day.  When I was finally referred to an allergist, I only tested at 1+ for corn per skin-scratch testing; yet my reactions to corn/corn derivatives are severe; e.g., I experienced one of my worst reactions after consuming a small amount of iodized salt with corn-derived dextrose, and my reactions to corn-derived citric acid and corn-derived ascorbic acid are just as severe.

Therefore, no medical professional should ever encourage anyone to consume their allergen in any amount, unless they are in the presence of their physician.  Based on the personal testimonies I read on a daily basis--particularly from those who are anaphylactic to corn, anything derived from corn can cause an allergic/anaphylactic response.

STRICT AVOIDANCE OF ALLERGEN IS ADVISED:

Food Allergy & Anaphylaxsis Connection Team (FAACT)
"Although food allergy desensitizations are being studied, these are not yet proven treatments, so strict avoidance is the only way to prevent an allergic reaction."

Expert Commentary Regarding Corn Allergen (Revised 11/6/17)

Update, 11/6/17:  After speaking with a representative from AAAAI, they have agreed to remove this article from their website.  It can endanger the lives of corn-allergic individuals.  I wish to thank the AAAAI for their efforts on behalf of the corn allergy population.


Many corn-allergic individuals are probably familiar with these articles which are detrimental to the corn allergy population due to the claims by the authors, and the fact that many physicians read and believe their statements without questioning the validity of their opinions.  I have respectfully contacted each scholar with critical corn allergy documentation/statistics, and am providing you with their contact information if you would also like to send them a respectful rebuttal.

[Note the statement in fine print at the top of the article: "True allergy to corn is rare."]

"Corn Allergy and Following a Corn-Free Diet," Daniel More, MD, February 20, 2017, verywell.com

"Unlike wheat, though, which is a common food ​allergen, there are relatively few reports of allergic reactions to corn.

However, the reports that do exist show that reactions can be severe. These reports include anaphylaxis as a result of eating corn and corn-related foods, as well as severe reactions after exposure to cornstarch in surgical gloves."

https://www.verywell.com/corn-allergy-82895

Findings Based on My Research:
Among some of their questionable findings, their claim that corn allergies are “rare” is clearly false and misleading as a result of my own research:

"The National Institutes of Health (NIH) confirmed to me that their in-home surveys do not address food allergies, and no allergies for anyone over the age of 18.  After conducting my own research, I discovered that physicians and/or hospitals are exempt from reporting allergy statistics/allergic reactions into any state and/or government database; therefore, it is dangerous and irresponsible for any person, medical professional, government agency, or professional organization to declare that an allergy to a particular food is rare; e.g., maize (corn).  As a result, my state FDA representative encouraged me to track the statistics of one of many corn allergy groups representing a "sample population."  The alarming growth statistics are indicative of an emerging corn allergy crisis; and should far exceed the threshold for declaring corn an official allergen; thereby, subject to FDA labeling requirements."

Even though I have now contacted the majority of U.S. hospitals re: protocol for treating corn-allergic patients, I decided to contact the dietary department at the hospital where I had surgery in March (and where I will have my next surgery) to verify if they now stock guaranteed corn-free liquids to comply with the surgeon-ordered, liquid-only diet after my surgery. They only gave me the brand names of the liquids, so I could contact the manufacturers personally. This is unacceptable!

As a result, I am now contacting the food service industry with corn allergy documentation and statistics.

Texas Hospitals/Health Systems Contacted

(Updated 3/19/22)

I continue to read personal testimonies from members of our corn allergy support groups documenting that medical personnel continue to administer corn sugar (dextrose/D-glucose)-containing IV fluids to corn-allergic patients in direct violation of the contraindication warning on the package insert.  It is also apparent that too many medical professionals do not understand that dextrose is the chemical name for corn sugar produced from cornstarch (D-glucose), 21CFR184.1857, which can prove fatal to anyone with an IgE-mediated allergy to corn.

Glucose: blood sugar (lifeblood of all living organisms)

D-Glucose: synthetic glucose (lab-created from cornstarch); analog/enantiomer of glucose (NOT identical)

L-Glucose: synthetic glucose (lab-created), analog/enantiomer of glucose (NOT identical)

The most heartbreaking testimonies are from parents of corn-allergic infants, many of whom have been diagnosed with "failure to thrive" due to the lack of corn-free infant formulas.  Hospitals have NO alternative safe sources of corn-free nutrition to feed to these struggling babies, and their pediatricians/dietitians cannot offer any assistance to parents of corn-allergic infants. 

In summary, the corn allergy population can consume very few processed foods; and no commercially-processed non-organic meat, poultry, seafood, produce, or fruit due to government-authorized corn-derived acid washes.  Many corn-allergic patients must have their medications compounded to exclude corn; and since tap water may contain corn due to corn-derived purification chemicals, many are forced to purchase other sources of corn-free water.  In addition, it is difficult trying to find a water filtration system that is not manufactured with corn-derived components.

Therefore, the primary message I am sharing with these hospitals/health systems is that it will now be their responsibility to provide corn-free foods, fluids, and medications (compounded to exclude corn-derived ingredients) to corn-allergic patients.  Otherwise, it could be interpreted that hospitals are discriminating against the corn allergy community.

After one of the state hospital associations informed me that it was not their responsibility to contact their member hospitals with our corn allergy awareness message/documentation, and instructed me to contact every hospital within the United States; I have been contacting hospitals/health systems in each state on behalf of the corn-allergic patients.
