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 ate these when I lived in Wisconsin and was doing a low carb diet (thats when I started to feel better). They are very delicious, Thanks for the reminder I will look into finding them again!

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.

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
