gluten-free Tortillas!

I made some great gluten free tortillas this morning. I told my husband we would have chicken enchelada's for dinner or burritos and then I though, oh crud, I don't know where to find gluten-free tortillas! So I made some and they were great! If I had rolled the dough thicker I think they would make a great pita like bread too. I used bobs red mill flour mix.

2 cups flour

1.5 tsp xanthan gum

1 tsp salt

2 tsp sugar

1 cup warm water

mix, roll into 8 balls. pat out into a flat circle on a floured surface, then roll out as thin as possible. Toss into a skillet with a little pam on medium high heat until they start to puff a bit then flip. They are best warm but taste great no matter what. I do think they have more of a 'pita' flavor than tortilla, maybe its the flour. But definitly good!

Yum! I make homemade tortillas and use them as pita bread or flat bread. For future reference, Mission Corn tortillas are gluten free and work well for enchiladas if you heat them before rolling. There's nothing like homemade though. I even bought a tortilla press to make them thinner.

I like making homemade tortillas too and absolutely love love love my tortilla press that presses out the tortillas and cooks them. It is made by Villa Ware. I use a recipe from Living Without. They are really good made to order. For leftovers, I cook them until they are light brown and crispy like crackers and eat them like tostadas. They might be good reheated in the microwave, but for leftovers at work it is easier just to eat them crispy.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
