Do you mean a tortillia press (manual smoosher) or a fancy, automatic, eletric smoosher/cooker combination?

Just wondering...we use the old fashioned kind and a pancake griddle.

Once I got used to them, they work great!!

I wondered about buying one too, but hated the idea of adding another gadget to my already cluttered kitchen. My mom suggested rolling them out between 2 pieces of Seran Wrap and that has worked great. They don't stick to it and it does not tear like the wax paper did.

Hope that helps.

I use my tortilla press to make tortillas and mini pizza crusts (with Chebe dough). Most of the time I buy corn tortillas but I live in Texas, so finding fresh tortillas is not a problem.

I've had the same tortilla press for over 20 years so it's not a new gadget for me.

I bought my electric tortilla press shortly after being diagnosed 9 years ago. I love it. I have found some fresh tortillas at the coop, so I do tend to buy those quite often. The tortilla press tortillas are a wonderful treat and they taste yummy. I even make chips out of them. Way too good and way too many calories. Another time I use the press is for dinner. I make fresh tortillas and add meat (whatever you prefer) with freshly grated cheese and fresh salsa. The whole family loves this meal.

I think I paid close to $50 for mine press, but do not regret it.

Glad to know about a tortilla press. I've been working on breads and cakes (happy with those now) and need to work on pizza crust and especially tortillas. I'm trying to do all gluten-free meals for the family (only my son is celiac). We got tired of saying, sorry when he would ask for a bite of our stuff. Poor guy. It is way better being all gluten-free. I bought some gluten-free tortillas for my son (not the best) but have had to have separate tortillas for us all (which I don't like to do) because of the cost of the gluten-free ones. Not to mention the fact I live in the country and it is quite a drive anywhere. Any chance in getting your recipe?

Can your son eat corn? There are corn tortillas sold at most grocery stores. Some taste better than others. The tortillas I have made are corn and the recipe is right on the package of Mesa I buy. I do add salt to mine.

Nathan's mom....I can't help you with the tortillas, because I've never made them, but here is a really good pizza crust recipe:

Here is my tortilla recipe.

1/4 cup tapioca flour

1/4 cup potato flour

1/4 cup white rice flour

1/4 cup brown rice flour

1/4 cup potato starch

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons xantham gum

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/2 tablespoons oil

1/2 cup water.

Mix together, I usually need to add more water until it is moist but not sticky. Let sit for 10 minutes. Roll flat with rolling pin. Make sure they are not too thin. Mine are never round but they are suppose to be. Cook in skillet until desired color is achieved.

Good luck. Hope this helps.

Sarah

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3
