I have NOT found the La Tortilla teff tortillas, but I like their corn tortillas. Where did you find their teff tortillas? I have La Tortillas discount coupons and would love to try them.

I think you can order from gluten solutions but I've never order gluten-free food online..they "look" good

We ordered both the dark Teff and Ivory Teff ones from gluten free.com. They do hold together very well, but I was not wild about the taste. Edible, but nothing to write home about. Not worh the extra expense IMO. They are somewhat larger than I wanted, too, and it was almost too much for me to eat. I know several people that are just bonkers over them, but I guess it just comes down to personal taste.

I think for our family we will stick with the Food For Life and Trader Joes gluten-free tortillas. Easier to find and taste better to me.

thanks my trader joes here in Mass doesn't have them :(

I had no luck with the food for life ones they just fell apart on me..they peeled, it was weird

Did you mean the FFL corn or brown rice tortillas fell apart? I find that the corn tortillas fall apart, but the brown rice tortillas don't. I only use TJ's corn tortillas for tostada salads. They don't roll well at all.

ebrbetty-

I actually like the Teff LaTortilla Factory Tortillas... I've been able to find the dark teff ones. They taste alright (waay different than corn) and hold up MUCH better than the rice FFL ones. Yes, they are rather large, but that means more room to fill up with beans, rice and cheese!

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
