Masa By Quaker

I like to make my own corn tortillas and use Masa. It's ingredients are listed as:

Corn treated with lime water and specially ground, niacin*, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate*, riboflavin*, folic acid*

* denotes "One of the B vitamins"

Is this a gluten free product? All I add is water to make the tortillas.

Thanks so much,

Karen

Hi Karen, Generally the concern with corn meal and masa is whether it's ground on the same equipment as wheat (which usually renders the product not gluten-free). I would recommend calling the company and inquiring about the gluten-free status of the product as most of their stuff isn't gluten-free.

Thanks, Janet. Is there any corn tortilla product/brand that is considered gluten-free?

Hi, Karen,

I have found that Quaker mixes their grain vats or whatever they are called. I had their grits the other day and got gluted with the first bite. I was running to the bathroom five minutes later and was in horrible stomach cramp pain. It was my first meal of the day - and after that almost the only meal it made me so sick. I was fine for several days before this. I've read in several places here that Quaker does not guarentee any of their foods as gluten free.

Mission corn tortillas seem to be the tortilla of choice. They are produced on dedicated lines. (see their FAQ: Open Original Shared Link). Several of the store brands also have corn tortillas on their list too.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      Natural remedies

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
