Oh this is a great interview Christina, Amy is an incredibly resilient woman! Thank you for bringing this to light. I have many students in classes with corn sensitivity but I’ve never heard of a corn allergy that encompasses this level. I’ve signed up for her newsletter!

Thank you, Rachel! It was really eye-opening to interview Amy. I didn't realize how pervasive corn-based ingredients are in everything, from food to household products.

Wow. Thanks to you and Amy for bringing this allergy awareness. It makes so much sense that corn and it’s derivatives are used in everything. It is a highly subsidized crop so many farmers farm it. And when there is an abundance you have to find a use for it. Also the way Amy found out this was the culprit in her health was a very interesting journey. So good to know. One man’s food is another man’s poison.

Thank you for commenting, Danni! I didn't realize before interviewing Amy how widely used corn is, but for the reasons you stated, it makes sense that it's in everyting.
