1 More Thing About Gf Flours


Bette

Recommended Posts

I started second guessing myself about some of the flours I bought and figured I better clarify. Is the brand "Maseca" corn flour okay?

I bought this at Walmarts and the ingredients read : specailly ground and dehydrated whole corn and lime. No perservatives added.

I wanted to use it to make tamales and tortillas.

I actually had this same question.

The Mexican Tortilleria here uses the Maseca corn flour to make fresh tortillas with and we eat those quite often. I've never gotten sick from it, so I'm assuming it's safe - And really yummy!

I'd like a recipe for tamales if you can share??? My hubby has been bugging me for MONTHS to make him some, but I'm a little nervous b/c I don't know all the "secrets."

I use that brand regularly with no problem. Sorry I cannot help with the recipe. I suggest going to a recipe site and adjusting as necessary.

Oh yes, double check and be sure that restaurant is not dusting their table with regular flour when making their tortillas.

:D Hi,

I thought that damage can still happen even if we don't show any symptoms. So just because we eat a certain food and don't get sick isn't enough to declare it gluten-free. Damage might be occurring but no symptoms are present. I have read something to this effect here at this sight before and wanted to bring it up. If I am wrong please advise me.

I believe that one person either shows symptoms from gluten intolerance or doesn't. To the best of my knowledge, you can't switch back and forth. So if someone who usually gets sick from eating gluten eats something and does not get sick, I would say that's a pretty good indicator that the item does not contain gluten. I could always be wrong.

I believe you are right. Masa flour is really corn meal processed more to make tortillas and such. It's safe, as my tex-mex friend makes traditional tamales every Christmas and uses them to pay me back for taking her to St. Louis to get her special masa flour.

:) Thanks everybody, I have used it and had no problems. I mix it with cornmeal to dip my fish in, makes a good batter .

I don't have a recipe for tamales either. There is a recipe on the package for making the tortilla's though. Please share if you ever find that good tamale recipe ;)

I will get to the bottom of this. :P

------------------------------

And yes - I do have symptoms - severe ones - when I eat gluten. I realize that some people don't, but I do and that's a pretty good indication to me - if I don't get sick after eating something then I assume it's safe.

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
