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.

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      By Mantooth · Posted

      Thanks for the responce Scott! When I was tested I figured out that I was on a diet and wasnt eating lots of gluten, Im using the LoseIt App to track my food intake so I went back and checked. My doctor only tested me for TTG-AB-IGA and nothing else. My results were <0.5 out of <12u/mL. Im now believing that I wasnt eating enough gluten to have a response, no gluten challenge or anything. Does anyone know what tests I should ask my doctor to do? I want to be armed with information before I go in there again.

But it does not mention processing wheat.

      Gluten Free Soy Flour - Where to buy?

      By Jules87 · Posted

      Hello!  I like to use soy flour for baking and recently discovered that Bob's Red Mill has discontinued its soy flour product. I've been able to find it at a few local international grocery stores but I have some concerns about cross contamination. Wondering if anyone knows a company / brand that specifically calls out their soy flour is gluten free? Or at least cleans the line before producing it? Thank you for any suggestions in advance!

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Did you get a blood screening done for celiac disease? If so, feel free to share your results here. Normally this is done before a biopsy, and after a positive blood test. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Matt13, About half of people with Celiac Disease react to Casein, the protein in dairy, in the same way as to the protein Gluten.  They have similar segments of polypeptides which trigger the autoimmune response of Celiac Disease. Damage to the Villa lining the intestines can be patchy or beyond the reach of the endoscopy equipment.   Hope this helps!
