It's not crass and thank you for responding. I hope your husband is doing better!

I gather you are going for the corn because it's in season right now. Perhaps introducing a new grain into the diet is helping to get things moving in the digestive tract. The body responds well to variation, rather than the same thing over and over again.

Good luck and thanks again!
