So, can corn hurt your stomach? Absolutely, if you eat a tub of it on an empty stomach or treat it like an invincible king. But more often, corn is just a messenger. It tells you how well your guts are working that day.
Think of corn not as an enemy, but as a friendly (if slightly stubborn) guest. It’s there for the good times—the summer nights, the baseball games, the bowl of chili. A little mindfulness goes a long way.
Next time you grab that ear of corn, give it a deep chew. Laugh at the fact that you’ll probably see it again tomorrow. And remember: your body isn’t broken. It’s just processing a very, very old grain. Be kind to both.
