Read Labels Carefully!

As you change your life to accommodate food allergies and intolerance's read labels VERY carefully!

As I am working on this blog, I keep finding hidden sources of Corn.  Is it in everything?  I seem to be able to handle the really small amounts.  or perhaps, I am living in ignorant bliss.   However, knowing I have an intolerance it is possible that even the small amounts are causing damage to my body.  So I am striving for as close to corn free as I can get.  If you have an anaphalactic reaction then you will need to be pristine, and watch for cross contamination.  This goes for all food allergies.

My discovery today is that the soy free earth balance (along with the other) has corn in it.  Extremely frustrating!!!  It appears to be a small amount of the "flavorings" are derived from corn.

The lesson is read labels very closely!
