Brief Answer:
Things done correctly

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.

Rather than allergy, I think that what you have is intolerance to corn. In any case you have done the right thing by taking these medicines. I would insist you to take small but frequent meals and to take a diet low in spices.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards
