French Meadows Tortillas

I was so happy when I found this in our local Central Market. I just made a quesadilla with them and tempted fate to eat it. I say this because they are made on shared lines with egg and soy and I have an egg allergy. I only ate 1/4 of it and gave the rest to my daughter. Quesadillas used to be one of her favorite quick meals. Another was a tortilla smeared with peanut butter and jelly then a banana in the middle and roll the whole thing up. Too bad she is allergic to peanuts and almonds as well. She doesn't like the other nut/seed butters too much and won't try the hemp butter I bought.

Anyway... These tortillas taste just like the real thing. Yum, yum!

Have you tried sunnutbutter(sunflower seeds) or soynutbutter for your daughter? DS accepted the sunnutbutter and welcomed it for a change for a while when the nut butters were out. Unfortunately, sunflower seeds, etc. are out with recent allergy testing. Pumpkin seed butter is available online(although a bit pricey) but I have thought about tryng it for a treat for both of us.

She doesn't like sunbutter and I won't allow most soy products. She outgrew a soy allergy so can tecnically have soy twice a week. She gets gluten-free teriyaki once a week and there is soy sauce in that. Also most restaurants use soybean oil so I figure that is enough for her to get.

I used to eat a lot of soy and developed a thyroid problem. Once I stopped eating the soy, it went away. Thyroid problems run on both sides of the family so I feel it best to restrict consumption of it.

I didn't roll them. Only made the Quesadillas in a skillet. Just two tortillas with cheese in between. Cooked till cheese almost melted, flipped over and cooked until fully melted, then cut in wedges.

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
