gluten-free "flour" Style Tortilla Shells From Celiac Specialities

We tried another product from Celiac Specialities. Its their potatoe based white tortillas.

They are fantastic. First off they look like a flour tortilla, they are large, about 8 inches in diameter compared to a lot of gluten-free products which are 1/3 the original size.

They fold/roll OK. Its not perfect but they don't split in half. Best part is they taste great.

We've made thin crust pizza with them which is a huge bonus. Most gluten-free pizza crusts are tiny and expensive. These you get 4 in a pack for around $5.00. Same as the pizza crust but you get a lot more out of it usually enough for left overs.

Wev'e made Quessadilla's with them and truly you'd never know the difference between a flour one and this one.

Haven't tried Burrito's but I am going to try a Chimmichanga and see how that comes out.

One thing I will say about CS is they are a bit inconsistent. It is always good but there is a difference between products week to week. The Mock Rye is great but we get a dry loaf once in a while. The Onion Poppy Seed white bread is edible by itself and is usually very consistent. The flavored flat bread can go from OK to great.

Even the tortilla's some will roll/bend without breaking easier than others.

Its all excellent and really changed our diet but they do need some QC to get things more consistent.

I use the Food For Life brand - I love them for pizza. I used to use the Kinnikinnick brand but they are expensive AND they are very high calorie. I think one FforL brand has around 130 calories each....versus 500. What's more, they taste really good !

Are those the rice ones? We tried them but at our health food store they come frozen. Hard to get just one out of the package and have it be intact.

      Testing

      By trents · Posted

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.

      Help with results

      By mariamccl · Posted

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this? I was eating plenty of gluten before my camera test and for the past 2 weeks have completely cut it out of my diet and I'm seeing changes in my bowel movements for the first time in my life! Headaches, dizziness etc are still there but maybe it takes longer for them to go away? Any help would be so appreciated -  I feel so lost in this whole process!!

      Did your symptoms improve after going on a gluten-free diet?

      Thank you for sharing your genetic test results and background. Your results indicate you carry one half of the DQ2 heterodimer (DQA1*05), which is associated with a very low celiac disease risk (0.05%). While most celiac patients have either DQ2 or DQ8, these genes are also present in people without celiac disease, so the test alone doesn’t confirm a diagnosis. Since you’ve been gluten-free for 10 years, traditional diagnostic methods (like endoscopy or blood tests) would not be reliable now. If an official diagnosis is important to you, consider discussing a gluten challenge with your doctor, where you reintroduce gluten for a period before testing. Alternatively, you could focus on symptom management and dietary adherence, as your gluten-free diet seems to be helping. Consulting a gastroenterologist or celiac specialist could provide further clarity.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
