Corn Tortillas?

Is there a brand of corn tortillas that are truly gluten-free? I was eating the Mission tortillas and had a DH outbreak. The company told me they are made on a seperate line but there are other gluten containing products produced on lines nearby. The bag is labeled gluten free but they really cannot be sure of the gluten-free status if they are producing other gluten products in the same facility.

I'm going to the store today and am getting more of the kind I get, so I can post later with the name of them; but they're from the food co-op/health food store...not as cheap as mission.

I'm sorry for your dh outbreak, but I think you may have just answered a question that has plagued me. I have tried a number of different corn tortillas and have reacted to all of them. I don't react to corn in general, so I couldn't figure why corn tortillas specifically were a problem for me. (I can eat On the Border tortilla chips, but haven't found a "wrap" style corn tortilla I could eat) I've posted on here before trying to find an answer for why I couldn't eat Mission or other corn tortillas. I always have a glutened reaction to them.

I've known from other similar experiences that I'm hyper-sensitive to extremely trace amounts of gluten (same facility issues). My gut tells me (sorry for the pun) that your system is going to react with dh to most of the corn tortillas. If you find one that you can eat, please let me know!!

Hugs for solving my mystery!

Thanks for responding! I will probably be better off trying to make them myself. Does anyone make your own corn tortillas?

I don't make my own corn tortillas but i just found rice tortillas at my health foods store. Had the first one tonight, a breakfast burrito for dinner, and they tasted like the four ones! they also look like them so you do have to be careful. They were food for life. the only allergy statement was that they are processed in a plant that processes tree nuts. hope that helps a bit. :D

Thanks! I'll look for them at Whole Foods Market or Trader Joes.

Not a direct answer to your question, but we went to our fav Mexican restaurant and I asked the waiter to please confirm that the tortilla chips they put out w/ the salsa were indeed ONLY corn. He went, exasperated, to ask and came back w/ a sheepish look on his face. He told me that they had just switched to a brand of corn tortilla that was DUSTED w/ wheat flour!! AARRGGHHH!!! We don't go there anymore.

Be careful because most mexican restaurants use corn chips but they are freshly deep-fried in the same oil as the fried flour tortilla items.

I don't have problems with Mission, but I'm also not super sensitive. I think i recall someone else on here getting sick from CC with mission.

I use LaTortilla Factory ones. I get them at the coop.

I eat mission corn tortillas several times a week. I am very sensitive and easily notice my glutening symptoms. I have not had any trouble with them at all.

I enjoy the Food for Life brown rice tortillas that someone mentioned (more like flour), but I have a problem with them getting very chewy immediately. I keep them frozen and just microwave them individually for about 15-20 seconds in a damp paper towel, but before I can put my toppings on and roll them up, they have already hardened and are VERY chewy. I still like them better than corn though. :)

I make what you could maybe call corn or rice tortillas with either corn starch or rice flour, or sometimes both mixed, coconut milk until I have the almost right consistency (runny but thickish), olive oil, and some salt. The coconut milk gives a slight flavor but it helps them stay softer. And with toppings I don't taste the coconut anymore. I use coconut milk because I can't do dairy and won't do soy. :)

I have ate the Mission corn tortillias without a problem. For wrap sandwichs I buy a different brand, not even sure what the name is but I bought them for the first time at Wegmans, in the Taco aisle. They were room temp. I paid a 1.50 and got a bag of 50 :o which is more than I needed but it seems as if they last a long time. I did put them in the fridge.

Hi, I make my own tortillas and they taste so great. I'm allergic to corn, so I can't do it a lot, but they keep really well in the freezer. Sometimes locating the masa harina is a little tricky and it really helps to have a tortilla press, but basically its just the masa and water in your food processor and you end up with a dough that is delightfully like Play-doh.

Yum!

I also make arepas...

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
