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...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana
