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?

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!

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
