Anyone Have Problems With Corn Tortillas?

I have had some good times lately. I figured out I had been eating soy in my vitamin pills all summer and once I stopped..well I had some bad days and then it felt so good.

Now I got sick again. :blink: I ate corn tortillas the other day. While it says they are gluten (and soy) free they aren't made in a dedicated factory. I seem to be sensetive enough to need that.

Well I was very naseaus the whole night and had bad diarrea the day after (yesterday). Head ache and today I feel out of it. A bit of heart burn. Feel uneasy, like I always seem to do with getting glutened/soy'ed..

I don't think I have problems with corn. Hmm.. I am wondering if anyone else have a problem with eating Corn Tortillas? The regular ones in the normal Grocery stores. The ones that says Gluten free.

I don't always trust the normal grocery stuff that says Gluten free on them if it is processed. I ate Creme of Rice and got sick from that. So now I am hmm.. suspicious of it.

Any input on this?

Does anyone know of any Corn Tortillas that are made in a dedicated factory? Same with Corn Flakes. I have had problems with them too.

You might want to check out Food for Life sprouted corn tortillas.

I have problems with a few brands of corn tortillas (even the ones that say gluten free) and for me it seems to be the guar gum that many contain. I have noticed a similar stomach reaction to other foods and the common factor is guar gum. I stick to the brands that my store carries that are just corn, water and lime. I don't eat the ones that have more ingredients than that. I like La Tapatia brand.

I guess what I was trying to ask is if anyone has problems with processed foods (in general) that aren't made in a Gluten free factory? :P;)

I am gonna try some other corn Tortillas probably, but mostly I am gonna see if I can find stuff among the dedicated gluten free brands. For now the "grocery store stuff" will have to wait. (Is the Food for Life a "dedicated" brand? I'll check it out online.)

Interesting about the guar gum there. The ones that I ate has just the few ingredients (corn, oil, salt, lime), but it is made by a company that makes other stuff with wheat in them. (Mission)

I dunno.. Sometimes getting sick is just a mystery..

Thanks for your replies. :)

I have problems with processed foods in general, regardless of whether or not the product was made in a gluten-free facility. When I do eat a processed food, it has to be something that contains very few (preferably organic) ingredients. I really like the Food for Life tortillas though. The fact that the corn is sprouted makes it much easier to digest. :) Some corn products bother me, and some don't. It is a mystery...

Sorry that's not a direct answer to your question, but I think you'll find a lot of people here who feel they get glutened by products made in a non dedicated facility.

I guess I'll have to give those Tortillas a chance then. ;)

We have a problem with soft corn tortillas in that we all think they taste terrible <_< . We stick with the hard taco shells. Too bad because I've been craving chicken fajitas, haven't had them since Ty was diagnosed a year and two months ago. They just don't taste the same in a hard taco.

I have had problems with corn tortillas too. I tried a few different brands that said gluten free and felt sick after all of them...but my corn test came back negative so I have no idea what the problem is.

Does anyone get sinus/eye problems from eating corn? I have been eating air popped popcorn lately and I wake up feeling like I have been crying all night. My eyes itch and burn and water all day.

I really, really hope I am not having a problem with corn. I feel like I have eaten it before and been okay..but you never know with this stupid stomach. The way I feel now :blink: it will be a while before I eat corn again I think. Or processed food that wasn't made in a dedicated place. :unsure:

Yes, I have "glutened" reactions from every corn tortilla I've tried. I've posted about my experiences 2-3 times already on these forums so I won't go back into it here.

I am very wary of processed foods. One that really works for me is Hormel. They have a huge list of gluten free products and so far I have been fortunate to be able to eat them without any problem.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
