This is just a site to compile my crazy thoughts and ideas pertaining to my corn intolerant daughter, who also reacts to annatto, eggs, meat which is fed corn. Grass fed beef is better. Corn is everywhere, I'm a lousy cook, and life is too crazy to just fly by, so I had to write it all down in a place I could visit often. I am not a chef or doctor, just a mom who self-diagnosed my daughters migranes and stomach pains when no doctor could. When she sticks to her diet, she is free and clear of any pain, but corn seeps in and candy is so hard to avoid, so we are keeping a record in hopes to help her and anyone out there who is in need like me. Thank goodness for the internet and all the other researchers out there, or I would still feel so lost and miserable. If you care to visit, I hope you find something helpful.
