Corn allergy and dumb ?

My daughter has a dairy intolerance.  We've been making our way through solid foods now and  tried some Kix cerea last night. It is dairy and soy free, but is mostly corn.  She had a bad reaction today with gas, reflux, diaper rash, runny nose, red cheeks and refusing to eat for my MIL.  I konw this is dumb question, and I'm afraid I know the answer, but does this also mean that I need to give up corn since we're still breast feeding?  I know that the dairy proteins can be transferred from mother to child but have not found anything regarding corn.  Thanks for any thoughts!

    The corn protein is pretty low, so I'm not sure it would be transferred through your milk.  But I would def ask her pedi.  Also, if this is the first time shes reacted, I'd want to do a more controlled trial.  Its not like you fed her corn and she reacted, it could be anything in the cereal.

    I'd ask the pedi, too. Will has a corn allergy and used to be very sensitive to even small amounts of it, but we didn't discover that allergy till after we were done BFing so I'm not sure.

    I would guess that if she hasn't ever reacted to corn in your diet before that you're still ok to eat it.  I know a few people with corn allergy kiddos- has she had any other products with corn ingredients (corn starch is in a ton of things)?  maybe it's the large amount of corn that triggered her.  Can you call an allergist?

    i would avoid direct corn intake -but not via your milk since she didn't react to your milk.  Some allergies don't transfer through BM, or it may be that she's got a milk allergy to corn so your BM breaks it down enough for her to not to react.

    This is the first time she's really eaten any manufactured food so I don't think she's been exposed. I think it may be time to see an allergist.
