Corn Sugar

I just found out that I'm allergic to corn sugar but not to corn. Does anyone have any information as to what products contain corn sugar or where I might find a foods to avoid list for corn sugar? Isn't corn sugar in just about everything?

Re: Corn Sugar

Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup is most likely the corn sugar you are referring to? Yes it is in a lot of stuff, mostly sweet stuff, but I have seen it in deli meats and medicine for example. If that's the only corn you're allergic to then you're far luckier than me as I am allergic to ALL corn products. Finding products without any type of corn is far more difficult than finding products without the corn syrup. With this allergy, you will learn to be a faithful label reader real quick!

Re: Corn Sugar

Yep alot of foods contain corn syrup. It's just as bad as having an allergy to mold.....There are so many hidden ingredients with names that would never lead you to thinking it contained that allergen. If you search the web for corn allergies it will include those foods that may have corn syrup.
You will diffinently become a label reader. I am because of mold and milk. I was so suprised to find that one of my favorite beverages Dr Pepper had milk in it...disguised.
Here's a few items I found
Coffee Rich
Evaporated milk
Frozen orange juice (except Minute Maid)
Gin, whiskey, and any alcoholic beverage or soft drink containing malt, malt syrup, or malt extract
Hawaiian Punch
Hi-C
Infant formulas, some (Enfamil, Modilac, and Similac)
Instant coffee
Mott’s Apple Juice
Candied fruits, canned fruits, and dried fruits that contain corn syrup or HFCS
Frozen and sweetened fruits that contain corn syrup or HFCS
Fruit desserts that contain corn syrup or HFCS
Ice cream and sherbets that contain corn syrup of HFCS
Flavored yogurts that contain corn syrup or HFCS
Ketchup that contains corn syrup or HFCS
Carmel coloring (may contain corn syrup)
Vanilla extract (many brands contain corn syrup; some brands do not)
Commercial backed goods that contain corn syrup or HFCS
Biscuits, Bisquick, and pancake mixes that contain corn syrup
Granola bars and cookies that contain corn syrup or HFCS
Pie crusts and cake mixes that contain corn syrup or HFCS
Cereals listing corn, corn syrup, or HFCS on labels
Pre-sweetened cereals (most)
Dextrose (iodized table salt contains dextrose)
“Fruit sugar”
Glucose
Golden syrup
High fructose corn syrup
“Invert sugar,” “invert syrup”
Malt, malt syrup, and malt extract
Sucrose labeled “from corn”
TCandy, frostings, and carob desserts that contain corn syrup or HFCS
Graham crackers
Jellies, jams, and peanut butter that contain corn syrup or HFCS
Jello
Marshmallows
Popcorn
Products containing xanthan gum
Puddings that contain corn syrup or HFCS
Bacon and cooked meats in gravies that contain corn syrup or HFCS
Cured ham, sausages, and wieners that contain corn syrup, HFCS, or glucono-delta lactone (GDL)
Luncheon meats and sandwich spreads that contain corn syrup or HFCS
Dextrose is common in IV solutions.
Most solid or liquid medicines and dietary supplements contain cornstarch. Inquire to the manufacturer, because excipients (additional ingredients) may not necessarily appear on the label. (be careful when taking meds always ask about the ingredients.)

Corn syrup is often used as a texturizer and carrying agent in cosmetics.
