After learning about how to avoid gluten, I find that easier then avoiding corn and sulfites. The two allergens are found in many food and non-food products, and usually not labeled. Especially if used as processing or packaging aids. Corn is used to make many food additives, too. But the names of the additives do not indicate that they are actually made from corn. Most gluten-free foods contain food starches that are usually processed or bleached with sulfites, and the sulfites are not labeled. I very rarely get glutened by accident, but run into hidden corn and sulfites frequently. I can't avoid it, if I don't know it's there. Eating is risky! Corn and sulfites in non-food products also trigger my allergy reactions and asthma, when I accidentally encounter them in products. I have Celiac, and I’m also allergic to corn and sulfites.
