Masa By Quaker


KarenFe

Recommended Posts

KarenFe Contributor

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.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
