I am going to to try and not sound too mean about this post but I get tired of someone saying in here a product is glueten free and when you go and buy it or to buy it , it says right in the ingrediants that it is made with flour ( wheat flour) I am talking about Mannies tortias someone posted in here that they were glueten free ( well they are not glueten free!!!) Now in all fairness maybe they make different types maybe a wheat flour one and a corn flour one if that is the case I stand corrected and will accept blame for my mistake but please dont post that a product is if your not sure or it isnt.

Thank You

Yes, we all must be careful about posting incorrect information because the health of others depend on it. It's alway important to know that companies can change their ingrediences. So reading labels is the key to success.

From the company's website:

"Manny's offers a full line of authentic Corn and Flour Tortillas,...."

I think it's best to use this site as a general guide to remember that technically, anybody can post anything here. It's best to personally verify information you read on this forum (like you did, by reading the ingredients) before taking anything as fact and comprimising your health because of something you read on a message board :)

Is this possibly a company that makes corn AND flour (wheat) tortillas? I did a search of the board using your spelling of Mannies and have come up with NO posts on them with the exception of yours?!?! If you can provide the correct spelling...possibly we can do a search of their website to do some checking into it. It is always good to check ingredient lists for yourself. Mistakes happen. Only YOU are responsible for your health.

If Manny's is the spelling for the ones that AL is speaking of......then the corn tortillas ARE on the list of gluten free products from hormel. I am guessing you (AL) picked up the flour tortillas by mistake...when the poster was most likely referring to corn tortillas.

Here is the hormel list from their website:

Do you have a listing of gluten free products?

We are providing the following list of products as a general guideline for those presently produced and distributed in the United States with formulas that do not contain gluten in the form of wheat, rye, oats, and barley. Although our products are labeled in compliance with government regulations, it is always necessary to read the labels on the products to determine if the food product meets your required needs. Parents and individuals with food allergies and/or food intolerances are responsible for reading the label of all products they intend to use regardless of how the product is represented on this site.

I found a post from a while back that was asking about Manny's Corn Tortillas.

Open Original Shared Link

It's also on Hormel's gluten-free list - listed as Manny's Corn Tortillas.

I wasn't able to find anything from anyone who mentioned them without it being a discussion about corn tortillas in the first place.

I think it's just frustrating in the beginning to have to remember all this stuff, read labels, memorize which manufacturers will fully label and which will hide gluten.

The most important thing is that you DID read the label. Because even on items that have been gluten-free for forever can and do all of a sudden have gluten in them. (Beware any label that says "New and Improved.)

This whole thing can be a real PITA sometimes.

When you do find something that has been stated as being gluten-free and you find that it isn't, please do post a topic warning other people. Because that kind of stuff sneaks up on everyone.

This is why when I find something I have not yet seen in here I post the entire email, letter or article I have, so that each of you have the same information that I do..... I will never edit anything I post into the forum with the exception of removing my personal information for obvious reasons using the {snip} I so love.

I do not expect anyone to take my word as gold even after I have actually figured out what I am doing just as I will not take anyones here, it is up to each of us to verify for ourselves the gluten-free'ness of any product

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK. Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs. If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend...

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
