Anyone know what Corn Tortillas brands really are gluten-free? I live in Dallas,Texas and LOVE Mexican food and the one thing I really miss that I have not been able to replace is tortillas. Anyone know of any alternative flour tortillas? If so, where do you get them?

Thanks for the help. I look forward to enjoying some yummy Mexican soon. ;)

hey lisa-

in texas of all places, it shouldn't be too hard to find basic tortillas. the old fashioned ingredients in corn tortillas are corn and lime. If your grocery store only has chemically enhanced ones, maybe a local mexican grocery? Probably super cheap there too. good luck.

I haven't seen too many that were NOT gluten-free.... Hmm... I have gotten ones from Trader Joe's and Wild Oats, but that's just because I haven't shopped at a Ralphs(Kroger), Vons (Safeway), or Pavillions in months due to the strike... As the other person said, ingredients are usually just corn and lime (sometimes a bit of salt...), so if your store is only carrying chemically altered ones, look around at other stores.

Thanks guys my confidence is building. I was afraid of cross contamination if the production plant made flour tortillas as well, but sounds like from experience you guys have been able to trust just the ingredients.

Thanks! Sounds like I 'm having Mexican for dinner tonight!

I took an interest in this subject since I use corn tortillas for my son. I usually spread peanut butter on it or place some bologna on it, and he rolls it up. Being somewhat new at this and having thought they were gluten-free, I pulled them out of the refrigerator and looked again. To ease my mind, I went on their website (the La Banderita corn tortillas) www.olemexicanfoods.com, and they do state that their corn tortillas are gluten-free!!

Hope this info helps you.

      Doc says I have celiac, despite no GI symptoms?

      By trents · Posted

      Bright blood in the stool would indicate bleeding down at the lower end in the colorectal area as opposed to the small bowel below the stomach where celiac manifests damage to the villous lining. Are these blood stools persistent? It's not unusual for this to happen once in a while to most anyone when a small surface vessel breaks, kind of like a nose bleed. As Scott Adams said, you must continue to consume regular amounts of gluten if the specialist will be doing additional testing for celiac disease, which could include an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining.

      Gluten-free bread

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Checkouts gluten-free recipes at twww.redstaryeast.com We tried a bread machine years ago and weren’t happy with results. Bread machines have pre-set rise & bake times.  Unfortunately, the program doesn’t adjust to slight differences when measuring, relative humidity or temperature of ingredients & in kitchens.  Lots of efforts for ONE odd- sized loaf that hard to cut into useable slices.  College-aged son found best use for bread machine was as heavy duty mixer that ‘kept dust in the box.’  He would pre-measure ingredients for 2-3 loaves & use machine mix up individual batches.      Since gluten-free bread needs  to rise only once, each recipe of dough went into a loaf pan. Pans sat counter to rise—time dependent of temp in kitchen. Then, baked in oven until he, not machine, decided it was done.     Took ~10 min extra up front to measure & mix additions but adds nothing to rise & bake times.     Loaves are great for slicing (Slice extra before freezing!). One mess to clean up, saves time & energy since you need to bake  as is half as often (If  you plan to bake lots more than bread, opt for KitchenAid/ heavy duty mixer instead.  Cover with dish towel to capture dust!)     Personally, I’m sure I had as a kid since I’ve never been a fan  of bread. .  Have been wrapping corn tortillas around things for 40+ years.  Can still get a dozen 12-pks of tortillas for same or less than price as 1 load of gluten-free bread. PLUS. the tortillas have more nutrients!

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By CelestialScribe · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. You are lucky because in Korean food, many classic meals such as bibimbap without sauce, barbecue meats and some kinds of soups generally do not have gluten. But it is a good idea to confirm with the restaurant workers for safety reasons. Regarding certain locations, I enjoy going to places such as Plant in Seoul and Sprout in Busan. Moreover, using applications like HappyCow or TripAdvisor can assist you to discover additional choices in the regions you plan to visit. One big tip: it is good to know some important Korean sentences, for example 'I cannot eat gluten' (geulluteuneul meogeul su eopseoyo)  or 'Does this have gluten?' (igeoe neun geulluteuni deureo innayo?) because they can be very helpful. If you are considering getting a local guide, I'd suggest this one https://gowithguide.com/korea They were very helpful when I needed to find places with gluten-free food options because they provide tours tailored to your preferences. Good luck with your travels! 🍻

      It is concerning.  Unfortunately a lot of doctors don’t know a lot about celiac disease, even some gastroenterologists.  Here is an article for you: Celiac disease and miscarriage I hope you have a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby!
