Tortillas

Corn tortillas have become a staple food for me. I wish I could find them in a bigger size though. Does anyone know of a brand of corn tortillas that are the size of regular flour tortillas?

Never found one. Perhaps they just don't hold together at a large size. Even the smaller ones fall apart sometimes.

You could make your own of course. You'll have to google, as my attempt to give a link to a product sold by the large online company named after the world's largest river was not permitted. The product is the VillaWare V5955 Grand Wrap Tortilla and Flatbread Maker, which makes 10" tortillas. Reviews were mixed; apparently there's a steep learning curve, but at least one celiac there was enthusiastic.

I got my tortilla press from that same company and love it, you can buy masa to make the tortillas at many regular grocery stores. One tip: always use a much bigger ball of dough than the directions say or you will end up with a thin tortilla that will fall apart. If it comes out thicker than you're used to, remember it's a "gordita" and fill it up with your favorite stuff and enjoy!

Make SURE you put wax paper in between the masa and the two sides of the press or you will have a big mess.

One warning, though. Even though the process is time consuming, once you've eaten real homemade tortillas, you will be spoiled in that the ones that come in a package will taste like cardboard... :D

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
