I have found that if I eat anything with corn in it I will get a sinus infection I have alway thought it was the high frutose corn syrup because if I eat or drink anything with the corn syrup in it I get sinus infections. Also just corn tortillas will do it. I don't know if it is just all the altering of the corn to to enhance the growing process but something is wrong with corn now. Also, when something tends to be in everything...just the amounts that are consumed can create allergies to it. All I know is that Corn is one of my biggest factors in getting sinus infections and bronchitis. If it does go into my chest... Lymphomyosot by Heel is a good homeopatic remedy for it. I can alway clear up the bronchitis within 24 hours with it. Just take it every 20 minutes until you feel it getting better then do it 2 to 3 time day until well. I don't get bronchitis anymore since using it. I use to get bronchitis 2 to 3 times a year before.

Homeopathic remedy (Spongia Tosta) worked very good both for me and my boyfriend. We had dry cough.

Diana's post is nearly 20 years old now but for anyone who has experienced the same, some people believe it's not the corn itself, but the storage of it and the allergen is actually something more like mold spores. From childhood I would get a headache every time we ate yellow tortilla chips, white tortilla chips did not do that to me. I mostly eat blue corn chips now and also don't notice a reaction. We do eat yellow corn in other foods (even grinding our own for bread) and I don't notice a problem; however, we buy organic now. My theory is that white, blue, and organic yellow corn isn't stored as long since it isnt in high demand, and possibly has better storage. Sometimes during harvest yellow corn is just piled on the ground in the elements until there is room to store it.

We are farmers in Texas with both conventional and organic crops and we have come to believe it's the food additives and processing that are the real dangers. We actually buy organic for that reason- the additives- not the farming process. Some of the chemical and modified crop hype is overblown fear mongering.
