La Tortilla Gluten Free Wraps

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.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      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!
