La Tortilla Factory produce Dark Teff Wraps and Ivory Teff Wraps and they are both gluten free. The company also manufactures wheat wraps so I e-mailed them to ask if the gluten free wraps were made in a dedicated gluten free facility. I will attach their very prompt (2 hours) reply. They look like they know what they are doing, and my question is: how many people would trust the cleaning practices where wheat is involved? Would you eat these wraps?

Their reply:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting La Tortilla Factory. First off, we are randomly inspected by GFCO (Gluten Free Certification Organization) who certifies our manufacturing plant as a Gluten Free manufacturing facility. We

"we randomly test the product up to 20ppm (parts per million) to ensure that the wraps really are Gluten Free"

Many celiacs can't do 20ppm, it's too much for them (and still technically causes damage to the rest of us). But at least they're honest about what their standards are.

That said, it does look like they go to great lengths to make sure everything's clean. I think it depends on your level of sensitivity. Many won't risk it because they don't even eat products made in the same building as gluten products.

I react to Teff flour but I don't think its a gluten thing! I tried these and they upset my stomach and I'm not very sensitive to cross contamination. I've had Teff a few times and had the same result. 20 ppm is the industry standard I'm learning...sometimes its just a trial and error thing to see how you react!

Thanks for the replies. My problem (if that's the right way to phrase it) is that I'm a silent celiac. I've been gluten free for two years now and am super careful because I can't tell if I'm eating anything with gluten in. I really wanted people to tell me to go ahead and eat these because they are perfectly safe! We all want the easy way sometimes! It looks like I'll be avoiding these :(. Pity.

I am very sensitive to CC but I would risk trying these. It sounds like their procedures are good and they are well aware of CC risks.

Thanks for the responses. I wonder if anyone who is super sensitive has tried these already and had no reaction to them. They do sound interesting and I would love to try them. Thanks, Ravenglass, for your reply, it does help.

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
