Hi everyone, and Happy New Year!

I just moved to Mexico and I'm struggling with finding out what I can/can't eat. I have a few unanswered questions and any help with answering them is greatly appreciated. :)

1) Corn tortillas - what are the chances that corn flour is contaminated with gluten? So far, I'm eating tortillas from places that make only corn ones, but I'm not sure if thats safe enough or if I should ask about the origin of the flour as well? :unsure:

2) Should I trust companies that always state gluten on their labels in Canada, that they will be doing the same in Mexico? Nestle does for sure, all their products are labeled "may contain gluten/wheat" :angry: What about Unilever, Krafts, McCormick, Coca-Cola products?

3) Does anyone have a clue what are the labelling laws in Mexico? So far I'm eating everyting that doesn't contain suspicious ingredients like spices and flavors, maltodextrin, sugars without specification, dextrin (found one labelled as dextrin from wheat), glucose/fructose syrup... But again I'm not sure if that's enough as some countries don't require full list of ingredients. (ie if there is less than say 2% of wheat, they don't have to put wheat on the ingredients list at all :blink: )

Thanks for any suggestions and have a great day

Pavla

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
