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. If you have any questions, please call our Customer Service Representatives at 1-800-523-4635.

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

      If you haven't noticed a difference yet, bump up your Thiamax.  Add in another Thiamax with breakfast and lunch.  Increase the NeuroMag as well.  You can add in another Benfotiamine, too.   Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Taking more is fine. I had to bump mine up several times when first starting.  It's a matter of finding what works for you.  Everyone is different.   Stick with it.  Some of the health improvements are very subtle and gradual.   Keep going!  You're doing great!

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  When the villi grow back, the villi can resume making lactase again.  I react to casein. Keep in mind that part of the autoimmune response to gluten and casein is the release of histamine.  Histamine causes inflammation, but it is also powerful excitory neurotransmitter, causing heightened mental alertness.  Histamine release is what causes us to wake up in the morning.  Unfortunately, excessive histamine can cause insomnia.  Our bodies can make histamine, but foods we eat contain different amounts of histamine, too.  Our bodies can clear a certain amount of histamine, but if overwhelmed, chronic high histamine levels can keep inflammation going and cause other health problems.   I got very weary of playing Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce what I was reacting to this week, so I adopted the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet designed by a doctor with Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.   The low histamine AIP diet cuts out lots of foods that are known to be irritating to the digestive tract.  After a few weeks, when my system was calmer and healing, I could try adding other foods to my diet.  It was much easier starting with safe foods, adding one thing at a time, and checking for reactions than trying to figure out what I was reacting to with so many variables.  I learned to recognize when I had consumed too much histamine from different combinations of foods.  Everyone is different and can tolerate different amounts of histamine in their food.  B Vitamins help us make enzymes that break down histamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate and calm the immune system.  Supplementing with Thiamine helps prevent mast cells from releasing histamine.  Keeping a food-mood-poo'd journal helps identify problematic foods.   I hope you will consider trying the AIP diet.

      You may be cross reacting to the protein "casein" in dairy, which is structurally similar to gluten. People assume lactose intolerance is the only problem with dairy. It is not, at least for the celiac community.

      Hi @knitty kitty  Just revisiting this to get some help. I found after understanding the extent of my anxiety, my sleep got a little better. Flash forward to a few weeks later I have had a few bad sleeps in a row and I feel desperate for a good nights sleep. I understand worrying about it won’t help but one thing I had tied things too was dairy. Initially when I went gluten free I felt great for the first few weeks then started having some stomach pain. So thought maybe I was lactose intolerant. I started eating lactose free Greek yogurt and that did help take the cramping away I guess. Over the last few months I haven’t eaten it every single day and I went a few weeks without it. The last few nights I did have a small amount with breakfast and noticed that was the only new thing I’ve really added to my diet. I had seen a few other posts about this. Is it possible to still react to lactose free? Would this potentially be a dairy allergy? Or something else.

      I have taken the vitamins for a week. Haven't noticed any major changes but I will give it more time to see.
