Curex is the place to go for all your allergy questions and needs. Led by healthcare entrepreneurs and allergy clinicians, Curex is an integrated, online telemedicine clinic for people who suffer from environmental allergies (e.g., indoor, outdoor or pet), asthma, and eczema.

Curex is the largest online allergy and asthma clinic in the U.S. We started because our clinicians wanted to offer more convenient and affordable allergy and asthma care for everyone. So far we have attracted more than 50,000 customers from every U.S. state. We are proud to have the highest patient satisfaction and loyalty rates in the industry. Our service has been audited and certified by LegitScript.com.

What services do you offer?

Curex provides comprehensive care for those suffering from allergies, asthma, and eczema. This includes customized sublingual immunotherapy, at-home concierge allergy testing, and symptom management. Our goal is to provide accessibility and quality of allergy care in the U.S.

Does Curex accept insurance?

Curex accepts the majority of insurance plans across the United States, including Aetna, Anthem, United, Humana, and others. While it is difficult to estimate out-of-pocket costs prior to a claim being submitted, our team will work with you to make sure your treatment is as affordable as possible. For that purpose, we also cap copays at $500/year. In addition, Curex accepts HSA and FSA.

What conditions do you treat?

We focus on indoor and outdoor allergies caused by environmental or inhalant allergies, like those caused by pollens, weeds, grasses, dust mites, molds, and pets. We also treat allergic asthma and eczema, as these conditions are closely related to allergies.

What is immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy is a longstanding form of treatment that aims to meaningfully reduce the underlying cause of indoor/outdoor allergies and related conditions. It is frequently practiced by using allergen extracts for shots or allergy tablets. Treatment plans are customized to the individual patient based on medical profile, test results, and lifestyle needs.

Can my child use Curex?

Curex serves adults and children as young as 5 years old. Certain tests and treatments may be limited for younger kids. Start by answering the quiz, so that our clinicians can recommend the best testing and treatment options.

Does Curex treat food allergies?

Curex currently treats allergies to tree, weed, grass pollens, pet allergies, dust mites, mold, and cockroach. We do not treat food, metal, venom, or flower allergies.

What is your cancellation policy?

Treatments are shipped in 3-month installments in all plans. Cancellations are accepted prior to the next refill being compounded by the pharmacy (so you can get a partial refund on a prepayment plan). To cancel or pause subscriptions, please email our team at hi@getcurex.com.

How does allergy testing work?

Depending on your location, we send a phlebotomist (medical assistant) to your home or office for a simple blood draw (not a finger prick). This sample is then processed using hospital-grade technology to produce accurate results. In some areas, you may need to go into a local lab for your blood draw. We work with LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics. This is an IgE blood test that results in more accurate results compared to finger prick tests that are available online through some companies. This is not a skin scratch test where an allergist spends 30+ minutes injecting you with small doses of allergens to see if any swelling or reaction occurs.

Is sublingual immunotherapy safe?

Studies have shown a significantly lower risk for anaphylaxis relative to allergy shots, allowing you to take them in the comfort of your own home. If recommended by your Curex-affiliated clinician, or if you prefer, your first dose may be monitored to ensure proper usage. Clinicians will also assist in helping you manage any side effects that you may experience.

Total Time: 55 minutes

Rating: 4.8 from 107 votes

Equipment

Mixing bowls
Baking dish (8x8 inches or similar)
Blender or food processor (optional)

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
¼ cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch turmeric powder (for color, optional)

Optional Garnishes:

Chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or chives)
Sliced green onions
A sprinkle of smoked paprika

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
If you prefer a smoother texture, blend about half of the corn kernels with the coconut milk in a blender or food processor until smooth. Otherwise, proceed with whole kernels for a chunkier texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn mixture (or just corn kernels if using whole), remaining whole corn kernels, coconut milk, cornmeal, maple syrup, olive oil, and arrowroot powder. Mix well until fully combined.
Add the salt, baking powder, black pepper, and turmeric. Stir everything together until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
Lightly grease your baking dish with a little olive oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Pour the corn pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding is set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the corn pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh herbs or any other optional toppings just before serving, if desired.
Enjoy your allergen-free corn pudding warm or at room temperature!

Notes

This recipe uses coconut milk as a substitute for dairy. Ensure the coconut milk is unsweetened to maintain the desired taste.
Arrowroot powder acts as a thickening agent and an alternative to eggs.
Maple syrup can be adjusted for extra sweetness or omitted if preferred.

Corn pudding Recipe Troubleshooting

1. Why is my corn pudding too watery after baking?

Reasons for Watery Corn Pudding

Insufficient Thickening Agents: Ensure you have added a sufficient amount of thickening agents like flour or cornstarch. This helps absorb excess moisture.
Excess Liquid Ingredients: Check the measurements of liquid ingredients such as milk or cream. Reducing these might help achieve a thicker consistency.
Not Enough Baking Time: Sometimes, the pudding needs more time in the oven to set properly. Keep it baking until the center is firm.
Cooling Time: Allow the pudding to cool a bit before serving, as it can firm up as it cools down.
Temperature Issues: Ensure your oven is properly preheated to the specified temperature.

2. What causes lumps in the corn pudding batter?

Causes of Lumps in Corn Pudding Batter

Improper Mixing: Insufficient mixing of ingredients can result in lumps. It’s essential to thoroughly blend the dry and wet ingredients to ensure a smooth consistency.
Undissolved Cornmeal: Cornmeal can clump if not properly mixed with liquids. Ensure it is fully incorporated into the wet ingredients to prevent lumps.
Baking Powder Clumps: Baking powder can form lumps if it's not properly sifted or mixed. Be sure to sift or break up any clumps before adding to the batter.
Temperature of Ingredients: Cold ingredients can sometimes cause the mixture to lump. Use room temperature ingredients for better blending.
Arrowroot Powder: If not evenly mixed, arrowroot powder can create lumps, as it acts as a thickening agent and needs thorough incorporation.

3. Why is the pudding not set after 40 minutes?

Possible Reasons the Pudding is Not Set

Consistency of Ingredients: If the ratio of liquid to solid ingredients is off, the pudding may not set properly. Ensure that the measurements for ingredients like coconut milk and cornmeal are accurate.
Insufficient Thickening Agent: Arrowroot powder is the thickening agent in this recipe. If not enough is added or if it’s not evenly distributed, the pudding may not set.
Oven Temperature: Check if the oven temperature is accurate. An oven running cooler than indicated can prevent the pudding from setting within the expected time.
Baking Time: Depending on the oven’s consistency and the altitude, sometimes more baking time is needed. Continue baking in increments, checking for proper setting.
Whole versus Blended Corn: If too much corn is left whole, it might affect the overall structure and consistency of the pudding.

4. How to fix a bland taste in the corn pudding?

How to Fix a Bland Taste in Corn Pudding

Add Sweetness: Incorporate a little more sugar, honey, or maple syrup to enhance the natural sweetness of the corn.
Boost Flavor: Consider adding spices or herbs such as cinnamon, nutmeg, smoked paprika, or chopped fresh herbs like thyme or chives.
Enhance Savory Notes: Mix in a small amount of grated cheese, such as cheddar or parmesan, or add chopped jalapeños for a bit of heat.
Adjust for Acidity: A dash of lemon or lime juice can brighten the flavors, or consider a splash of vinegar for a unique twist.
Salt and Pepper: Sometimes simply adjusting the seasoning with salt and freshly ground pepper is all that's needed to bring out other flavors.

5. What makes the top of the pudding too brown?

What makes the top of the pudding too brown?

Too High Temperature: Baking the pudding at a temperature higher than recommended can cause excessive browning on the top.
Prolonged Baking Time: Keeping the pudding in the oven for too long can lead to an overly browned crust.
Position in Oven: Placing the pudding too close to the top heating element in the oven can cause it to brown too quickly.
Direct Heat: Using a setting like broil or grill without adjusting the time can cause the top to brown too much.

6. Why is my corn pudding sticking to the baking dish?

Reasons for Corn Pudding Sticking

Improper Greasing: Not greasing the baking dish sufficiently can cause the pudding to stick. Ensure you use enough butter or cooking spray to coat the surface properly.
Lack of Parchment Paper: Using parchment paper can help prevent sticking. If you haven't lined your dish, consider doing so next time.
Overcooking: If the corn pudding is left in the oven for too long, it may become more likely to stick. Follow baking times closely and check for doneness.
Incorrect Baking Temperature: Baking at a temperature that is too high can result in the pudding sticking due to burning or excessive dehydration.
High Sugar Content: Sugar can caramelize during baking, potentially leading to sticking. If your recipe is sweeter than usual, consider adjusting the sugar levels.
Lack of Lubricants in Recipe: Ingredients like oils or fats in the recipe can help reduce sticking. Make sure the recipe includes enough of these components.
