In case you thought corn consisted only of corn-on-the cob, I put together a list of 134 corn sources and alternate names to show you otherwise.

The first list I ever made like this was a list of 192 sugar sources and alternate names.

And, in fact, there are 8+ lists of this sort in The Gutsy Girl’s Bible: an approach to healing the gut, 3.0.

Why Create These Lists?

First, just like sugar, not all corn is evil.

The reason I put together these lists is to show that so many things are and/or contain corn. Because many people have an intolerance to it, a list like this could be very useful.

That said, a lot (not all) of corn and corn-based products are not good. Corn consistently stays on the top 10 list of GMO crops. And research shows the link between GMO foods and digestion.

Take that for what it’s worth to you. 

And second, if you’re following any sort of elimination diet, then you already know how I feel about recording ingredients and ingredient(s). In this case, using these lists in conjunction with the journal will be ultra-helpful.

So with that, here is my contribution to helping you spot corn.
