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?

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
