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.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
