Trader Joe's chicken taquitos are back on the gluten free list. That's if you have one near you I guess.

I have gotten the ones at HEB. I don't know the name, I think it is just the HEB brand (the grocery store brand). If you don't have an HEB, it is a grocery store, I think only in Texas....

Be careful with the delimex taquitos, some are gluten-free and some are not (I think the chicken are okay but the beef have soy sauce, but it is clearly labeled). Love them with fresh guacamole!

Delimex is the one on the list they JUST sent me. I would DEFINITELY check the label, but that is one brand I heard of. :D

Hi!

We get the ones at Whole Foods and the brand is their house brand - "365 brand" their allergen statement is on the label that says "good manufacturing practices used to segregate ingrediants in a facility that also processes . . ."

We have eaten them without incident, but then again it is extremely hard to tell when my daughter has been glutened. But in general we have been happy with the safety of the 365 brand products. Unlike Trader Joes who has blanket labeled almost every item that it is produced on equipment shared with wheat.

(We are also in MASS).

the delimex chicken and beef taquitos are safe, but not any of the other ones like cheese and chicken.

If you e-mail Heinz they will send you a gluten free list. The Delimex taquitos are included on this list. Some are gluten free, some are not, so please be careful. The gluten free list that they'll send you will have the code numbers for safe foods. :) It makes it pretty easy to tell. I know the plain beef in the corn tortillas are safe, but I'm not sure of any of the others.

Those are my favorite ones. I like to heat up some refried beans and put the taquitos over them with some melted cheese. Yum!

TJ's taquitos are really good! My DD got sick of them though because she was taking them for lunch almost every day. I think there is a brand that is sold at Costco that is gluten free. I don't remember the name of the brand though.

My husband likes Jose Ole Taquitos Chicken flavor (in corn tortillas).

We are new to the ingrediant reading, but I think they are gluten free - Stone ground corn masa flour, water, guar gum, vegetable oil - tortillas. filling - chicken meat with modified corn starch, salt, sodium phosphate, water, and then less than 2% of peppers, onions, alt, spice, garlic and onion powder, paprika, chicken flavor, salt, maltodextrin, sugar, fat, whey, vegetable stock (carrot, onion, celery), flavors and turmeric, vinegar, soy flour, modified food starch.

We were told that in the US, in the last couple of years, companies have been required to put on their labels if the modified food starch is from wheat. If it is not listed, then its from corn.

The box also lists that is contains milk and soy. (other versions say they contain wheat, but this one doesn't).

Has anyone tried the ones sold at Sam's? I used to buy these when the boys were young and they were good. I don't remember the name of them. I forgot about them.

What about the Maltodextrin? I'm new at label reading too - and I thought I watched for that one...Is that another US is corn - others may use something else?

I have the demelix ones too - I found them at Walmart and Target (I LOVE TARGET). They are yummy with salsa :)

I couldn't remember why I wasn't concerned with that :) Too much information to keep track of! :)

So I looked it up - this is what I found:

Maltodextrin is prepared as a white powder or concentrated solution by partial hydrolysis of corn starch or potato starch with safe and suitable acids and enzymes. (1) Maltodextrin, when listed on food sold in the USA, must be (per FDA regulation) made from corn or potato. This rule does NOT apply to vitamin or mineral supplements and medications. (2) Donald Kasarda Ph.D., a research chemist specializing on grain proteins, of the United States Department of Agriculture, found that all maltodextrins in the USA are made from corn starch, using enzymes that are NOT derived from wheat, rye, barley, or oats. On that basis he believes that celiacs need not be too concerned about maltodextrins, though he cautions that there is no guarantee that a manufacturer won't change their process to use wheat starch or a gluten-based enzyme in the future.

So what if it says "Made in Mexico" on the package and has maltodextrin in it? Like packaged Kool-Aid for example...? It would have to say wheat b/c it is sold in the US?

I don't know, so this is just a guess.. But I think it means things made in the US. So if its made in mexico, and it has maltodextrin in it, there is no guarantee it is gluten-free. I don't think the selling location matters, just the manufacturing...

That's what I thought, but wasn't sure...Anyone know for sure?

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Hi all, just wanted to post an update.  I have been gluten free for about 1.5 months now and seeing improvement already in the bathroom.  Recently I had a visit with another GI doctor for a 2nd opinion. He said that while my blood tests and scope are not a "slam dunk" for celiac, he believes it's more likely than not that I have it. His advice was to stay with a celiac-level gluten free diet (no CC) for 6-12 months then retest to make sure TTG-IGA is still negative. He also said that my CRP should return to a normal level at this time if the culprit was inflammation in the small intestine due to celiac.  Today I had a follow up with the original GI that performed the scope. She is confident it is NCGS and says I can still have gluten sometimes. When I asked about the visible duodenum damage, she said it is just "irritation" from gluten because the biopsies were negative. She also said that my positive EMA isn't valuable because it has "a high false positive rate."  I guess I'm having trouble reconciling the totally different advice from these 2 GI's. I want to believe the new doctor more at this point because what he said just makes more sense to me, and he gave an actionable timeline for possible next steps. Feeling lost and disappointed at this point and wanted to write it down here in case anyone has input. Thank you.

      Help!

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @junell, Can you get a DNA test to look for genes for Celiac Disease?   Have you had your thyroid checked? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Being on a restricted diet for so long and especially now since you are having symptoms can cause malabsorption resulting in vitamin deficiencies.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By Beverage · Posted

      I strongly agree with others about processed gluten free foods, like breads and pasta, being bad for us. Read the labels, full of this starch and that starch, seed oils that are inflammatory, etc. Before you were celiac, you probably wouldn't even touch something with those ingredients. I do much better with whole foods, meat, veggies, a little fruit. I made 90% myself, make extra and freeze it for future meals. Cutting out processed gluten free food and eating mostly real whoke food helped me feel much better. And definitely benfotiamine!

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please be sure to try Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride.  The form Thiamine Mononitrate is not absorbed nor utilized well.  Benfotiamine is much more bioavailable.  Perhaps Thiamine Mononitrate was in your previous B Complex supplements, explaining why they didn't work for you.   All the B vitamins work together.  Thiamine needs the other B vitamins to make enzymes and ATP, so you will need to take them.  Taking them in individual supplements is fine.  I've done the same.  Just remember you need all eight.   Let me know how it's going for you!
