i made fajitas, i made mine with the gluten free brown rice tortialla, but everyone else made theirs with regualr tortillas, i told my husband that he had to make everyones cause i could not touch the reg. tortillas, and he made them, but we touched the same utensils while he made everyone elses and i made mine. could i have gotten glutened by that. Cause about 10 last night i woke up i was already asleep, and i got all hot and my stomach was rumbling and it hurt, i never did use the bathroom, but i was miserable for about 2 hours.

Or could i be intolerant to something else.

Sounds like a cross contamination issue to me (the spoon touches the flour tortilla, then contaminates yours). I finally gave in and just buy the gluten-free tortillas for everyone. Otherwise, you need to make yours first or keep your fillings separate from theirs.

We use corn tortillas all the time, everyone who eats at my place. Everyone seems to enjoy them, they keep coming back, some may not even notice.

i dont think anyone else would of likes the brown rice tortillas, they are ummm different, they dont taste to bad but it was like eating paper lol, texture wise, or maybe i put them in the microwave to long.

are the white corn tortialls gluten free to, if so i think everyone might eat those. and i bet so much cheaper. I cant believe 6 gluten free tortiallas were 4:09, that is just too high for me

Try heating the rice one on top of the stove on a hot griddle until they bubble. Then wrap up your stuff in them quickly, don't let them sit and get cold.

Most corn tortillas are pretty much just corn. As always, read the ingredients just in case.

I made the small mistake when i ordered my rice tortillas of orering like 12 packages.The rice tortillas ore okay. A friend suggested that I use a grease screen over a pot and steam them for about 2 minutes maybe.I have quesadiila maker and they always turn out kinda crispy.I really want a bean burito....Also on the being glutened..... I am very sensitive to the point of last week I was helping a friend prepare some pastries with wheat flour and ended up very sick the next day....My first thought was could I really be that sensitive.Yes! I no longer mess around with anytihng wheat .It is not worth how sick I get. One more thing when I get sick I sweat and am nauseated and throwing up for 2 to 5 days this symptom tends to be more allergic to the wheat itself. Gluten symptoms tend to be more lactose like problems....This I found out from just general resaearch.Unfortunatley I avoid both 100%.

I discovered how to make those rice tortillas work well and keep a decent texture without crumbling.

I use a hot pan to warm them up, but before I put the tortillia in the pan, I lightly oil the surface of both sides (spread a bit of oil - or even margarine - in my hand and then rub the tortilla). Heat until it begins to blister. Then, put the filling in, roll, and then wrap with a paper towel and let sit for a minute. I find this keeps the buritto from coming undone while eating. Also, if you don't fill it too full, it works better.

thanks for those tips. Last night i made burritoes in them, and they turned out ok. I am hoping to learn how to make them myself sometime soon lol.

I just heated them up in a pan for a minute, and they still werent that good. so i will for sure try putting some oil or butter on them first. And i love the idea of a quesidilla maker, that will be my next kitchen appliance lol

Try Mission corn tortillas. They say gluten free right on the bag. They come in huge bags for very cheap. They keep for about two weeks in the fridge, sometimes a little longer. I buy mine at Wal-mart.

There are other gluten-free tortillas out there, but you may have to get them by mail order. gluten free.com has two kinds of teff tortillas (I haven't tried them yet). I went out on a limb and ordered a bunch of packages of hemp tortillas from frenchmeadow.com, to justify the shipping cost. Someone had told me they are good, but sometimes tastes vary. (They also have some gluten-free "women's tortillas" with soy, but I have to avoid that.)

Just be sure to order the right thing. Most of their products contain gluten.

I just had my first one for lunch. I thought it was great -- and it was full of all this healthy stuff to boot. The flavor was fine and I made a wrap without the tortilla breaking. These are dark brown in case you deal with eaters who want things that look "normal." If you want something that looks like a regular flour tortilla, the "ivory" teff tortilla might work. Again, I haven't tried this. I do have both kinds on order, though.

As you can tell, I love tortillas. :lol: I'm so psyched that I found something.

I did have a little problem with my order. They first sent me ten loaves of their hemp bread which is full of gluten. Then they sent the right stuff for free. So my family has bread for the foreseeable future. :rolleyes: Of course, my college kids are coming home for their spring breaks, so what I think is a lot of food might go quickly.

I've heard that corn tortillas are better if you make them yourself. Seeing a recipe it seems like it isn't that tough, particularly if you have a tortilla press. I had to order something else from a kitchen supply store so I went ahead and ordered a press. We'll see if it is as easy as they say. <_<

Mission Brand White Corn Tortillas are fabulous. That is all I use,

You can heat them in a skillet, in foil in the oven, fry for tacos or cut & fry for chips

& yes, they say gluten free on the package, & I am very sensitive & never have a problem with them.

I think they are available almost everywhere in the U.S.A.

      Buckwheat

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
