Masa Harina

I really like making my own corn tortillas from masa harina. Is there any masa that is gluten free? I have searched and searched and can not find any with a statement saying it is a gluten-free product. It seems like a product that would easily be gluten-free.

Thank you,

Karen

Maseca

I saw on a gluten free website (blog) that Maseca was gluten free. I tried to look at the company website but could not find anything about FAQ's or Gluten Free...have seen on some other websites that they say its Gluten Free.

Might be something to look into, hope this helped some.

GOOD LUCK!!

Thank you! I went to the web site:

I did not see anything mentioned in the Tortilla Industry section but did find a mention of gluten in the Cracker Industry FAQ section:

Does corn masa flour contain gluten?

No, corn masa flour is gluten free.

This is the product I am looking at:

Although there seems to be many different corn flours and I am not sure which one would be considered gluten-free. I'm still looking into it and will let you know what I find. Home made tortillas are so yummy and I really hope I can keep making them.

I got a very speedy reply (about 20 minutes after I sent my question to them). This is what was said:

Good morning:

Thank you for your question. MASECA is made from 100% selected corn, and corn is naturally gluten-free. The package has a gluten-free symbol on the panel with the nutritional information.

We do not process any other type of grains in our plants other than corn. However, the U.S. agricultural system does use the same vehicles to transport different grains, so the chance of cross contamination is minimal but it does exist.

We hope this answers your question. Please let us know if you need anything else.

Regards.

Thanks for directing me to this brand. :)

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?

      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS.  I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input and will let you know if I have a problem with wheat again. I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.

      I would say two things and then I'm done. Many celiacs have been misdiagnosed for years with IBS. Testing for celiac disease requires regular and significant consumption of gluten for weeks/months in order to be valid.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By RMJ · Posted

      Can the rest of your household eat the food with gluten instead of getting rid of it? Can you create one shelf, or partial shelf, for your new food in the pantry, in the fridge and in the cabinets as a start? My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods go on the upper shelves so crumbs with gluten can’t fall onto them. Good luck!
