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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
