Ortega diced green chili’s

Hi all! 

Ive been cooking with Ortega diced green chili’s (the fire roasted in the little cans), and I realized yesterday they don’t say “gluten free” on the can. I don’t see any ingredients that look suspicious. Since it’s the weekend I can’t call and ask. 

I’ve never had a problem with these. But I don’t know how great Ortega is about labeling. I just wondered if any of you use them without issues, or if you steer clear. Thanks!

I don't think they are gluten free. I shop at Winco and they put a little pink gluten free tag next to price tags, and I don't recall any Ortega products being gluten free. They aren't 100% accurate but when I googled Ortega's chili's Smart and Final came up and they also don't list any Ortega products as gluten free, even though they carry those Chili's.

They are safe. Very few ingredients and nothing that would be risky. Spicey items can be an issue for some until they heal but you say you have been using them with no problems so enjoy.

I have used them  Those grocery store "lists" are usually meant to get you to buy the store brand.  The tags on the shelves are only as accurate as the person labelling or re-stocking the shelf.  They may only put the little tags on things that state "gluten-free" or our the store brand.  Lots of things are naturally gluten-free,  so limiting your diet to what states "gluten-free" on the label can get expensive and boring.

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits

      Welcome to the forum, @jlp1999! Which IGA test do you refer to as being normal? TTG-IGA? Total IGA? DGP-IGA? Yes, any positive on an IGA or an IGG test can be due to something other than celiac disease and this is especially true of weak positives. Villous atrophy can also be cause by other things besides celiac disease such as some medications, parasitic infections and even some foods (especially dairy from an intolerance to the dairy protein casein). But the likelihood of that being the case is much less than it being caused by celiac disease.
