Delimex Taquitos?

I got a list from Heinz and they said that their Delimex chicken taquitos are gluten free. I am sort of shocked that there is actually a frozen food that I can feed my kids... not to feed them all the time or anything, but for a quick supper when I don't feel like cooking. I was reading the label and saw Textured Vegetable Protein (soy)... I thought TVP was on the list of "bad" ingredients? Anybody ever try these and have an opinion?

It was on the list because no one knew what is was made of. Your' specified soy, so it is alright. Do they have beef in those things?

trader joe's has a couple of gluten-free frozen items as well. (not a lot, but some.)

I went to the Delimex website...here is what I found there in their frequently asked questions section. It only talks about wheat gluten, not rye, barley and oats so it still sounds pretty questionable to me:

1) Are your products free of wheat gluten? The following products are free of wheat gluten:

Beef Taquitos, Chicken Taquitos, 3-Cheese Taquitos, Pepperoni Pizza Taquitos, and all our

Tamales.

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By trents · Posted

      The reality is, returning to gluten consumption makes some people so ill that they cannot complete the gluten challenge. There is no shame in that. Nonetheless, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing whether they have celiac disease or NCGS. Another reality is that at the end of the day, both conditions require complete abstinence from gluten and other "cross reactive" foods. One thing you can do is to get genetically tested to see if you have one or both of  the genes that have been linked to the development of celiac disease. This doesn't require a gluten challenge. However, the gene test cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease since 40% of the general population have one or both of the genes but only 1% of the general population ever develops celiac disease. But it can be used to rule out celiac disease. If you don't have either gene but you are certain that gluten causes distress then you know you have NCGS. And, to answer your previous question about the gluten challenge causing further damage to the SB villous lining, the answer is "yes" if you have celiac disease. However, a few more weeks of damage on top of months/years of existing damage is not likely to do irreparable harm.

      There are some other things that can cause elevated blood antibody numbers on the celiac tests. Some other diseases, some medications (olmesartan, NSAIDs) and even some other intolerances to non-gluten foods, especially dairy. But the odds are, the elevated numbers are caused by celiac disease.

      I just don't want to eat too much gluten and get sick for 6 weeks before the test. I would rather eat just enough for the test and not over gluten. I guess 2 slices of whole wheat which I was having and my regular oatmeal may work which was my previous routine and pasta but that's about of gluten daily lol I will have to see not sure about buying our gluten. Is it true after eating gluten it can stay in your body for a long time? If I eliminated gluten for 3 weeks does it mean it's really still in me and I can still have issues? Thanks

      Thanks for the info guys. I’ll follow up with my GP next week. So as it stands it’s looking like Celiac is likely? It’s come as a bit of a shock really, I know my symptoms have persisted a bit more over the past month or so compared to previous flares. I did have a bout of norovirus about 8 weeks ago and stomach never quite returned to it’s best since.

      The 10g of gluten daily doesn't have to come only from bread. It can include pasta, cake, wheat-based cereal, etc. I wouldn't obsess over it. The main point is, don't skimp on gluten. Eat normal amounts of wheat products just like someone would who isn't dealing with a gluten disorder. If you really want to make sure you are getting 10g of gluten daily, go to a health food store and buy a bag of pure gluten. Weigh 10g out on a food scale and mix it in with your beverages. My wife use to buy gluten powder at the health food store and add it to the dough when she was making bread - in the days before I was diagnosed with celiac disease, that is.
