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

      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. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and...

      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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      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 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.  I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      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.
