Celiac.com 05/05/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. We've written a lot about gluten-free snacks, including a great handy list of Best Gluten-Free and Gluten-Safe Snacks for the Super Bowl, and beyond; Ten Top Brands of Gluten-Free Potato Chips; Corn Nuts; Cheetos; and Doritos to name a few.

One question we see a lot is about snack products, especially corn tortilla chips. Specifically, are Mission brand corn tortilla chips gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease?

Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
According to the Mission brands website FAQ, all "Mission corn products are produced with 100% corn masa flour; wheat ingredients are not added to the formulation." The company does add that "These products are produced in plants that also process wheat tortillas." But, the products are produced on separate lines. "There are no wheat ingredients or incidental wheat present in the products or on the lines that produce corn products."

For those with celiac disease who avoid products that are made in shared facilities, you may want to find certified gluten-free tortilla chips and tortillas, however, based on their Web site it appears that Mission tortilla chips and corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, and unlikely to be cross-contaminated.

Gluten-free Mission brand corn tortillas, corn tortilla chips, taco shells, and tostadas, include:

About Me

Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

Ten Top Brands of Gluten-Free Potato Chips
Celiac.com 06/25/2019 - Just in time for summer, here are ten of America's top gluten-free potato chip brands. True, potatoes are naturally gluten-free, and so are potato chips, unless they've got added gluten ingredients. However, many brands do not label their chips as gluten-free, and many of these chips may be made on shared equipment. That's not necessarily a big deal, but some people like to play it safe. These brands go the extra mile to make sure their chips are labeled "Gluten-Free," which means that you can breath extra easy about serving them to people with celiac disease.

Are CornNuts, INKA Corn, and other Corn Snacks Gluten-Free?
Celiac.com 06/18/2019 - One question we see a lot is: Are CornNuts, INKA Corn, and other Corn Snacks Gluten-Free? The short answer is yes. CornNuts are labeled gluten-free and are safe for people with celiac disease.
Increasingly popular Inka Corn is also gluten-free. Both snacks come in a variety of flavors. They're great snacks to have on hand for a road trip, hike, or as a compliment to your favorite gluten-free beer or other beverage.
Several other companies make a corn nut type snack, including Manitou Trading Company, and Sincerely Nuts. Corn nuts are also a good option for people who can't eat tree nuts or peanuts. Remember, if you have a food allergy or sensitivity, always double check the label, and check with the manufacturer if you're not sure.

  Lymph nodes
  
  Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

  Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy.
