I am allergic to corn and all corn derivatives. There are very few supplements I can take, as most have ingredients in the supplement and in the capsule/gelcap that are derived from corn. My reaction is intense, non-stop tingling and itching under the skin sometimes accompanied by a rash.
I needed to find a probiotic, as the limited diet connected to corn allergy takes a toll on gut health.
I am also unable to metabolize B vitamins taken as supplements for reasons unknown to me, but with, shall we say, "unpleasant" gastronomical results. I was desperately hoping the B vitamins in this product would help coat/calm my nerves and possibly relieve the itching and tingling.
I called United Naturals to find out if there were any corn derivatives in the product and was assured there were none - that this company does not "do corn".
I have now taken this amazing combination of probiotic and B vitamins for a month. My gut health has greatly improved, and my itching has decreased noticeably - unless I'm very stressed at the moment. For the first time in years, I am not itching 24/7. I have hours at a time now with minimal itch and sometimes none.
I'm not sure of the science behind combining the B vitamins with the probiotic but it has been the answer for me, for sure. I'll continue with this company, believing in their commitment to quality, not only of their products, but to the quality of my life. I have shared information with the thousands of others on several corn allergy websites/Facebook pages and hope they can find relief for some of their symptoms, too. Thank you, United Naturals for giving me a glimmer of light at the end of this tunnel of a corn allergy. I have multiple allergies, but the corn one has caused the most distress and chaos in my life. It is an increasingly common allergy, affecting more and more young children due to the presence of corn derivatives in almost everything we eat, touch, wear, and even smell.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
