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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
