You know what your symptoms are don't let anyone tell you differently and if you have breathing problems yes you should use your Epi-pen. I am allergic to corn and I can't use/eat anything made from corn (citric acid, corn syrup, and caramel color is just a few) I can't eat chicken, eggs, pork etc anything fed corn, and am told ALL the time that it isn't possible. Listen to your body. Good luck.

I too would use an EpiPen if I felt like I needed it. Drs really have no clue about allergies. I always carry an EpiPen although I’ve never used it. I probably should have at least once even though my throat didn’t close, my blood pressure dropped.

Allergic to epinephrine

I also am allergic to corn I can't eat anything that is feed corn or any baked goods that has eggs in it. There are more farms these days using corn and soy-free feed. Check out https://healthytraditions.com/ and https://dutchmeadowsfarm.com. they add dextrose to regular salt dextrous is made from corn. Are you allergic to fish and or shellfish? This could be why you are reacting.

I hear that too. I am terribly allergic to corn but eat small bits in some foods. I know exactly how much will cause my BP to drop or my throat to get scratchy. I had a cyst removed in 1989 from drinking corn syrup when I was sick. Of course the more I drank the sicker I got from lemonade and chicken soup. I can't eat eggs anymore although sometime a cookie is ok. I can eat chicken as long as I don't go overboard. My blood work showed NO iGe antibodies for 10 things at all!
