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. :)

      I ate a hotdog bun on accident today and I haven’t ate bread in years

      @TempCloud  How are you doing?  I hope you aren't reacting too badly? I would most likely react like Trents.  That said, I have read accounts of some coeliacs not showing any symptoms after glutening, after a long break from eating gluten.  But should that happen to you, unfortunately it should not be interpreted as the 'green light' to go back to gluten.  I am afraid coeliac disease at the present is a lifelong condition, and so, too, must be the gluten free diet.  Here are some tips to try, to help you feel better.

      If it was me, within 2-3 hours I would be throwing up violently with excruciating abdominal cramps for 2-3 hours. When this phase was done I would go into the diarrhea phase for several hours. But every celiac is different in how they respond to getting "glutened".

      Gluten free wheat flour????

      By CJF · Posted

      I was recently browsing a local grocery store's for gluten free flour and they had a King Arthur bread flour that was made with wheat!!!! Can anyone on this site tell me more about this??  Is it really gluten-free? Safe for Celiac sufferers??? I'd love to make bread again that actually tastes like real bread.
