    Not only do I live in the US but I also really like mexican food which manages to be even MORE corn-centric.

      Pro tip: Turkish and Central-Asian food like shawarma is basically Mexican food but with wheat.

        I’m genuinely curious, not being a jerk. I love Mexican food, I love Mexican American food, and I love Turkish food and all the central Asian food I’ve tried I enjoy.

        But I can’t figure out what in the world you mean. Like which specific dishes are the same but with wheat?

    Could be along the same lines as my fructan sensitivity. Corn is high in sorbitol which some can have intolerances or sensitivity to. Some people can get away with a small serving and certain processed forms, while others have to avoid it altogether. I think it’s one of the few FODMAP antagonists that doesn’t have an enzyme yet 🥲 Could also be something totally different! They would also potentially be sensitive to peaches, apricots or other foods with pits or seeds in them if it was a sorbitol sensitivity.
