I was wondering if anyone has found good gluten free taco shells. I found one brand (can't remmeber what it is) but the taco shells are all stiff and break up when you try to heat them up. Has anyone found good ones? I really want to be able to haver caseadillas again. thanks.

In my neck of the woods quesadillas are made with soft tortillas - in my house corn instead of flour.

I use Mission brand, the ones marked gluten-free.

Do you have a Trader Joe's nearby? Their rice tortillas make excellent quesadillas.

Rudi's should be coming out with three types of gluten-free tortillas soon too.

Tacos and tostadas are made with corn tortillas - we use mission too -- either fried for hard or simply heated for soft tacos.

Rudi's tortillas are available. I have to say that whlie they are delicious and I have enjoyed them, they are not comparable to what I am used to in a flour tortilla. They will harden and break. I simply use corn tortillas for soft tortillas, also Mission brand. They are soft, and delicious. If I want something different and more unhealthy I'll fry them in a little oil before I make my tacos so they'll be a little crispy.

If your corny things break when you bend them, wet them with water before heating. They soften up nicely then. Just hold them under running water for an instant, or throw a damp paper towel over them, or put them in a pan with a little steam and a lid..

Thanks everyone. the ones I found (the only ones I've seen in my area-I will have to look more) were rice based. I didn't even think that there might be corn soft ones as the only corn ones I've seen was hard tacos. Thanks everyone.

I just tried the Rudis tortillas tonight and they are ok but not the same as a flour tortilla. Plus they are crazy expensive! I use the uncooked corn tortillas in the refrigerated section. Works good enough.

We have also used gluten-free crepes as flour tortilla sustitute. They are a nice treat, but sadly we have not yet found anything that makes a perfect burrito yet. I'm currently eating no grain so my experimenting in this area is suspended - my son did learn to make the crepes when he is craving flour tortillas - we live in southern california so burritos were a staple before dignosis.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.
