What do you do for tortillas? Anybody found a gluten-free flour tortilla recipe that works? What about non-gmo masa harina?

For thriftiness sake, I usually use white corn tortillas in the place of something a gluten eater would use a flour tortilla in, like soft tacos or burritos.  White corn tastes less corn-y than yellow.  I like Rudi's gluten-free fiesta tortillas, but because they are about a dollar apeice, I only use them for quesadillas.   Yellow corn tortillas are good for use inside things like enchiladas or casseroles, and I will bake them into taco shells to save on fat.

 

As for the non-gmo part, I have seen organic corn tortillas, but it may take some looking.  Bob's red mill has non gmo masa harina.

there are a few  gluten-free tortillas on the markets. Maybe your store can get them or check the online mall here. I just found  some mini ones today while traveling and visiting a small store. Only corn in them and soft, not  hard tacos. also brown rice ones are easy to roll up.

good luck

Food for Life brown rice tortillas are pretty good when heated (hard/breaky otherwise). Our local supermarket has them in the freezer section. We keep them frozen until ready to eat, then thaw them individually at room temp for about 20 minutes, then put in the microwave for a very short while.

I have been just using corn tortillas. They are cheap and taste good, different texture than flour ones though.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll look into getting it on Amazon. :) I have a tortilla press and have made lots of corn tortillas in the past, but prefer to switch to organic or non gmo masa harina and it's much harder to find than the regular.

I think Gluten Free on a Shoestring has a recipe that essentially just uses a bread mix to make flour tortillas in the skillet.  I've enjoyed it but I usually use corn tortillas when I'm doing mexican.  It was nice to be able to make wraps for lunch without using lettuce leaves though.

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and get tested occasionally to make sure the tests don’t turn positive again. If you test positive, of course the recommendation from me and others is to stop gluten entirely.  But if you’re unable to convince yourself to do that, could a positive test at least convince you to minimize your gluten consumption?  Immune reactions are generally what is called dose response, the bigger the dose, the bigger the response (in this case, damage to your intestines and body). So while I am NOT saying you should eat any gluten with a positive test, the less the better.

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum, but don't do it!  Don't continue to eat gluten!  The health problems that will come if you continue to eat gluten are not worth it.  Problems may not show up for years, but the constant inflammation and nutritional losses will manifest eventually.  There's many of us oldsters on the forum who wish they'd been diagnosed as early.    Fertility problems, gallbladder removal, diabetes, osteoporosis and mental health challenges are future health issues you are toying with.   To dispel fear, learn more about what you are afraid of.  Be proactive.  Start or join a Celiac group in your area.  Learn about vitamins and nutrition.   Has your mother been checked for Celiac?  It's inherited.  She may be influencing you to eat gluten as a denial of her own symptoms.  Don't let friends and family sway you away from the gluten-free diet.  You know your path.  Stick to it.  Be brave.
