Tortillas

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.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!
