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...

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
