Wouldn't you think that the "authentic" Mexical restaurant would have 100% corn tortillas?? We went to our fav Mexican place last night that's recently been bought up by another owner... and I (LUCKILY) asked the server to please check that the tortillas served w/ the salsa were indeed corn. He came back and told me that they were now using corn tortillas that are dusted w/ wheat flour!

I ate the cheese and chorizo appetizer w/ no chips or tortillas. Too bad... I really liked that place. Maybe I'll ask them if I can bring a few of my own corn tortillas.

Often places that make thier own tortillas will make the corn ones on the same table area as the flour ones, which leaves them covered in flour. They could also dust them to prevent them from sticking.

Yikes! Never thought of this-- the fryer issue is bad enough.

That's why I worry about corn tortillas from the stores. I"m sure they're made in the same facility that makes the flour tortillas.....right??

Do you make your own? They're so good homemade, but tortillas are one of my grab-it-when-there's-no-time-to-cook staples... now I'm wondering...

Alton Brown on the Food Network recently made homemade corn tortias. Very interesting show.

I do not have the time to make chips or tortias. I just buy the Mission brand, they are marked gluten-free and produced on corn lines only (I don't even think they use flour in the factory, but I am not sure).

I have never had a problem with Mission, I eat them like three four times a week.

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By Tazzy11 · Posted

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
