Corn Tortillas

Hi Everyone,

Well I haven't been here in awhile, things have been crazy however thanks to all of your help, my little lady is doing wonderfully! However we had a setback today, first one since she was diagnosed back in early September. Tonight she had bloodin her stool again and it the stool itself is changing color again and she is complaining of stomach upset. The only thing that has changed in her diet is the introduction of corn tortillas. Based on the ingredient list there are no celiac based ingredients nor are there any that I would have to call on such as food starch or flavorings.

My question is this, if these are cross contaminated by being made in the same factory as the flour (which is not mentioned as per 2006 FDA regulations) could they cause a problem and if so, she hasn't had one since friday would it take this long to produce the effects she was having before the diagnosis? How long would it take to see adverse reaction to something? She is getting a blood test done tomorrow as a follow up to her diagnosis so I guess that will give us the true answer but it takes a couple of weeks to get them back.

Does anyone have a corn tortilla that they use successfully? Thanks for you help in advance!

Melissa

Ortega hard corn shells or El Paso corn tortilla have both worked fine for me. I hear that Mission corn tortillas are also gluten free.

I eat Mission corn tortillas all the time with no problems. The are labeled gluten-free. I believe Mission corn tortillas are made at the same plant as flour tortillas, but on different lines.

Mission corn tortillas are awesome for soft tortillas. They are so much better than the other ones on the market. I haven't had any problems with these and I'm relatively sensitive. As for fried tortilla shells, I often fry my own with Mission. They also make fried ones. Yum.

I got sick from Corn tortillas. The hard kind. It said on the bag that they were gluten free but they make wheat stuff in the same place so I am guessing it was cross contamination. For now I stay away from products like that.

Mission Corn products are gluten free, and yes, they are produced in the same facility, but they are produced on separate lines. Actaully, the above 3 statements are actually FAQs off their website, hadn't checked their website in awhile. I don't remeber all that being there before.

I've never got sick off them, and they seem to be pretty serious about the allergen thing. I've called them before and they know what I am talking about immediatly, and do state they put a lot of controls in place to prevent cross contamination. So, I trust them.

Was she eating corn prior to that? Or is adding the tortilla's the same as adding corn?

My word is to be careful with the corn tortillas. Others eat Mission, Great Value, and other brands successfully. I get sick from every brand I've tried. I am not corn intolerant, and do not react to On the Border tortilla chips.

If you search you'll see where I posted of my glutenings from tortillas from the beginning of this for me. For a long time I couldn't figure it out because everyone else eats them. But recently, someone else posted that they broke out with DH after eating Mission tortillas. To my knowledge we are the only 2 who suffer from tortillas, but for me there is no doubt...I am glutened by them, and it must be the cross-contamination. It sounds like your daughter may have the same degree of sensitivity.

El Milagro are gluten-free. I checked with the manufactuer. They use seperate machines to produce flour and corn tortillas, because both are different sizes.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly.
