Corn allergy and supplements
I have multiple food allergies, but I'm finding the corn allergy to be a challenge due to the number of supplements that contain corn (though not labelled as such). Cellulose and microcrystalline cellulose are in many of my supplements (and not just in the capsule..they are fillers). Anyone have any supplement recommendations that has a corn allergy? Looking for calcium, high bioavailability B complex, and Vitamin K. Thanks so much!
Vitamin K2MK7 --I take for bone health. I believe there is a Canadian product that is less expensive.

I'm getting my calcium from the Califia almond milk. I get the green bottle, unsweetened. I buy it locally.

Corn has always been tough to avoid. I had to avoid it while i was recovering, but fortunately I can tolerate it now. It may be even tougher to avoid now and in the future, because the FDA has allowed manufacturers to change (substitute) minor ingredients in products without changing the label. This change in the regulations was made to minimize the disruption in the food supply distribution system due to Covid-19.
The eight major allergens (gluten, soy, eggs, milk, treenuts, peanuts, fish, and crustaceans) must still be prominently listed on the label when they are present. But other ingredients (including corn, sesame, etc., and other allergens that affect some people), can be substituted, as long as they are considered to be minor ingredients in the product. I believe this has always been the case with pharmaceuticals (although some manufacturers voluntarily included that information), and now it applies to food products as well.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
