Allergy Times — The Daily Edition

Great,  just great. It seems I’m allergic to corn. I’ve always been able to tolerate it before, but I had a handful of plain tortilla chips (nothing in them but ground corn), and I had a reaction that verged on anaphylaxis — difficulty breathing and terrible abdominal symptoms. Here’s hoping this doesn’t apply to trace amounts. Corn allergy can be pretty difficult to manage, as it’s in so many products, particularly in the form of corn starch as a medication filler.

Have I mentioned that I sometimes wonder why my IgE is so wonky?
