Mission Brand Gluten Free Flour Tortilla!

I'm not sure if you know about these, but Mission started making gluten free tortillas! They're really, really good. They look, feel and taste like a real flour tortillas! I've found them at Von's, Ralph's and Albertsons in Riverside, CA. They're just stuck in with all the regular tortillas. There's nothing about them on Missions website and I emailed them but haven't heard back.

I just wanted to share this exciting find! I hate it when they release a new gluten-free product but no one knows about it so they don't sell well and end up discontinuing them. If you're like me you don't even look in the bread and tortilla section anymore :-) I found out about them by a fluke. My college daughter was home for Christmas break and one of her friends from school tagged her in a Facebook post from a Colorado Celiac group asking if anyone had seen the new Mission gluten-free tortillas in the store. Someone had heard they existed but no one believed it and there was nothing about them existing online anywhere. The next day my husband was at Albertsons and saw them on the end cap tortilla section and brought me home a pack.

I'm not sure how to post a picture, I haven't been on here in years. I have a picture of the front and ingredients.

Thank you for posting the picture and the ingredients.

 

It's much better to find out at home if the product has another ingredient that makes it off limits for your household.  I would have wanted to cry at the store.

I have not seen that one!.  Their corn tortillas and chips have always been gluten-free and are now listed as such.  

 

Thanks.  Now I know to look for these!

 

 

edit- I don't see them listed on their website yet! Do you mind saying what part of the country you are in?  Sometimes, new products do a test market or roll out in certain areas first.

Time to run to the grocery store!!!!!! :o

I would have never known to look for these, thank you for the heads up!   They are a big brand around here so surely someone has to have it.  Quite exciting.

I think they taste like regular flour tortillas! They're really good!! Kinda pricey but what gluten free product isn't?! I think they're $5 for 8 tortillas.

I thought I posted this last night but I dint see it. A guy from Mission tortillas called me back and said right now they're only available in Washington, Oregon, California and Arizona. They're hoping to have them nationwide soon.

Aldi has some gluten-free tortillas also.  Theirs have soy flour as well so might not work for some people.  But they are cheap anyway.

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @WildFlower1, Here's an article that explains about the updated gluten challenge guidelines.  Be sure to read the comments below the article. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Low iron can affect antibody production, causing false negatives on antibody testing.  Do you currently struggle with low iron?   Low Vitamin D can cause amenorrhea, cessation of menstrual periods.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies is a big part of Celiac disease.  We don't absorb well the eight essential B vitamins and other vitamins and minerals like calcium, resulting in osteopenia, hair loss, infertility, and neurological symptoms.  Unfortunately, doctors are not given much training in nutritional deficiencies and don't recognize the connection with the malabsorption of Celiac disease. We get very frustrated here with doctors ordering us to put a harmful substance in our bodies in order for them to say "that makes you sick".   Duh, we know that already. Do try to increase your consumption of gluten for at least two weeks before retesting.  Eat the chewy kinds of breads.  Cookies and cakes don't have as much gluten in them as those chewy artisan breads and thick pizza crusts. I admire your tenacity at continuing the gluten challenge.  Do keep us posted on your progress.  We'll continue to support you on your journey to diagnosis and recovery.

      I would continue with your gluten challenge for another 2-3 weeks with the increased intake of gluten as outlined above.  You now say if you were confirmed to have celiac disease you would be even more strict about avoiding cross-contamination whereas in your first post you said, "Previously for many years 10+ I have been on a strict gluten free diet." Those statements seem to contradict one another. The celiac community as a whole understands that to be "on a strict gluten free diet" necessarily involves significant attention to cross-contamination. If you have not been strict with regard to CC up to now, it is difficult to say how that may have compromised your recovery and contributed to ongoing symptoms. Yet, even a significant reduction that falls short of gluten free can yield negative test results.

      Thanks for your response! Yes, you’re correct that many of my symptoms improved when I went gluten-free, but issues like bone loss, infertility, hair loss, etc., seem to be the ones that haven’t responded. I’ve been on the gluten challenge for almost 7 weeks now, and I’m wondering how long I should continue it before testing again and making a final decision. I understand the benefits of eating gluten-free long-term, but I’m unsure how much longer to stick with the challenge to avoid another false negative celiac blood test.   What I would do differently if the test were confirmed positive is I’d receive a small amount of government help with gluten-free foods as a confirmed celiac. Doctors would be able to rule out further exhaustive testing. I’d also become even more strict about avoiding cross-contamination (for example, when eating at someone’s house, they may say something is safe, but it could have been cross-contaminated with gluten, or when going out to restaurants, they might say it’s fine, but it really isn’t). So, I would be extremely strict with cross-contamination if I were 100% confirmed as celiac, even though I’ve tried to be over the years but still seem to get sick.   Any advice on how long is typically recommended to continue the gluten challenge to avoid a false negative on the celiac blood test would be greatly appreciated!

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.
