Question 1

how can i be allergic to yellow corn and still be able to eat white corn and not get sick?

Accepted Answer

Probably...: ...Because you're not truly allergic to corn; you have an *intolerance* to certain types of corn, and not others. People with true allergy to corn typically must avoid all corn and corn derivatives. So if white corn causes no problems for you, that's great! stick with that, and avoid only the varieties that cause problems for you.

Diarrhea: This is presumably a viral gastrointestinal tract infection. To control diarrhea eat a very bland diet with no roughage, drink room temperature fluids in good amounts.

If severe diarrhea persists get a  stool culture done
