Great Tortilla Wraps


Ursa Major

Today I went to my local bulk food store (locally owned and not affiliated with any other stores) because I ran out of light buckwheat flour. Because I don't eat anything with flours/carbs very often, I don't go there more than once every two months or so.

I was in for a surprise. Last time I went, they had one freezer with gluten-free foods, and the bins with the gluten-free flours were mixed in with the bins for stuff with gluten, which I didn't like, and I had told the owner so. She listens, and really cares about her customers.

So, today I found that she now has one row of bins with ONLY gluten-free flours, the other bins are on the other side of the isle. She does have a sign (and has always had that) asking people to put the scoop right back into the container they took it out of and to never use it for another product to avoid cross-contamination.

So now there is even less chance of that happening. She also has new flours since I was there last, namely teff and corn flour (it is not corn starch, which is white, this is yellow).

Now there are two freezers with only gluten-free foods, one has all the new El Peto products, and the other the Kinnikinnik stuff mostly (by the way, Kinnikinnik won't make chocolate dipped doughnuts any more, they weren't able to get them for their last order and were told that they went out of production - who knows why).

Another thing I found were LaTortilla Factory Smart and Delicious, gluten-free wraps/tortillas. They are large and reasonably priced in comparison to what I can buy at my supermarket (all they have are corn tortillas that are small and expensive). These are made from ivory teff and millet.

My husband and I had them for supper tonight, and they were delicious.

They ARE made on shared lines. Here is the information so that you can make up your own mind whether you want to try them or not:

I absolutely love these tortillas. I prefer the light teff, not the dark. They roll up perfectly for lunch wraps, the only downside is that they do not currently carry them in any of my local stores. So if anyone's in Sacramento pester your favorite health food store managers so they start carrying them.

They have the Sonoma tortillas with light teff from La Tortilla Factory at my local grocery (Red Apple) and they are great! I so hated the rice flour kind, and sometimes corn doesn't work. These have fiber and seem much more nutritious.

These are great for wraps and for sandwich substitutes at picnics and such. They keep them in the freezer at my local store, which is ok because I would keep them there too and only pull out as many as I need to keep them fresh.

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
