Corn Tortillas

This may sound silly, but I am so excited about today's tortilla discovery. I've been eating yellow corn tortillas, and I like them, but the flavor is pretty strong. Today I noticed white corn tortillas at the market -- also labeled gluten-free. They are so much milder in flavor and less hearty in texture. To me they are much more versatile, since they don't overwhelm the filling so much.

I may be the last one to figure this out, but if not, try white corn tortillas!

What brand? I have been buying Aztec I think, but then I saw on here somewhere that Mission has a dedicated line so I bought them - they are even labeled gluten-free. But, I don't like them!! I was so bummed when I tasted them - I don't like the texture or the taste. Maybe I'll give these white ones a try - once you tell me the brand. :D

They are Mission and are labeled gluten-free. I was buying a different brand of yellow (also labeled gluten-free), but at my market last night I could only find Mission -- yellow or white. So, I don't know how these compare to yellow Missions, but they are alot better than the other yellow brand (Tortilla Factory, maybe?) They still are not identical to a flour tortilla, but maybe midway between a yellow corn and a flour ;)

Good luck! If you try them, I hope you like them!

I emailed El Milagro - based out of Chicago -- and here is their response:

El Milagro products Corn and Flour are run in different machinary all the time, in order to avoid cross contamination.

Our corn tortillas are gluten free.

As an FYI:

In addition to manufacturing tortillas, they also have restaurants in the Chicagoland area, Austin, TX and Chamblee, GA.

Here is their website:

Thanks! So glad to hear this!!! I have known for a while that I wheat-sensitive, but only recently discovered I have celiac. I LOVE El Milagro, both yellow and white! They are a staple, since I use them in place of bread for several things. They have the best flavor and texture when cooked properly!

...it's lunch time and I think I just talked myself into a grilled cheese sandwich! =)

I've never even thought about trying white corn tortillas! I can't stand the yellow after switching over from flour. Thank you for the idea! I'll have to give them a try.

Don't forget that this thread is five years old, and the gluten free status of any food can change in the meantime - always check your labels or with the manufacturer. :rolleyes:

Does anyone know about Vallarta supermarket brand tortillas? I didn't even think about shared equipment. I have been having some issues that might be from being glutened and I have been eating them lately. If no one knows I will try to give them a call to see if I can find the answer.

Even before I was gluten free I have always preferred the yellow ones. It's interesting how everyone has such different tastes. My grocery store always has about 5 times the amount of white ones on the shelf and I am bummed whenever they are out of yellow and I need to get the white ones.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
