Masa Harina

I really like making my own corn tortillas from masa harina. Is there any masa that is gluten free? I have searched and searched and can not find any with a statement saying it is a gluten-free product. It seems like a product that would easily be gluten-free.

Thank you,

Karen

Maseca

I saw on a gluten free website (blog) that Maseca was gluten free. I tried to look at the company website but could not find anything about FAQ's or Gluten Free...have seen on some other websites that they say its Gluten Free.

Might be something to look into, hope this helped some.

GOOD LUCK!!

Thank you! I went to the web site:

I did not see anything mentioned in the Tortilla Industry section but did find a mention of gluten in the Cracker Industry FAQ section:

Does corn masa flour contain gluten?

No, corn masa flour is gluten free.

This is the product I am looking at:

Although there seems to be many different corn flours and I am not sure which one would be considered gluten-free. I'm still looking into it and will let you know what I find. Home made tortillas are so yummy and I really hope I can keep making them.

I got a very speedy reply (about 20 minutes after I sent my question to them). This is what was said:

Good morning:

Thank you for your question. MASECA is made from 100% selected corn, and corn is naturally gluten-free. The package has a gluten-free symbol on the panel with the nutritional information.

We do not process any other type of grains in our plants other than corn. However, the U.S. agricultural system does use the same vehicles to transport different grains, so the chance of cross contamination is minimal but it does exist.

We hope this answers your question. Please let us know if you need anything else.

Regards.

Thanks for directing me to this brand. :)

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
