Delimex Taquitos Are No Longer gluten-free

This is my first post, but I've found myself here many times while searching "Is [insert name of food I need to know RIGHT NOW] gluten free?" I've gotten a lot of help from all of you, thanks! I was just heating up some taquitos for the kids (I have 2 Celiacs) and thought it was about time for another verification, so I called the company and they told me that none of the Delimex taquitos are gluten free anymore. I asked why because I didn't see any questionable ingredients and I knew they used to be and she said it might be because they are on shared lines now - they did used to be gluten-free, but are not anymore. I apologize if this has been mentioned before, but everything I searched said that these were gluten free and they are not - at least according to the company. Now I have to figure out what to make for lunch - and I have a whole big Costco box of these - to feed the hubby now, I guess!

They may be the same as they have always been. Many companies that once labelled gluten-free ,but did not test for gluten, have stopped labeling them gluten-free. A legal CYA thing. Some companies have stopped labeling gluten-free until they see if and what the law may be. Which just adds to all the confusion! :(

I have noticed that more and more lately. Things that use to be labeled as gluten free no longer say gluten free anymore. Very annoying.

As was noted, nothing may have changed other than the lawyer's risk assessment.

If you are particularly sensitive to shared lines, certainly be cautious. But realize that they may also still be perfectly safe.

My DS7 is really sensitive to cc (we can't do Amy's products anymore - he kept getting sick). I was wondering if this might be it, but they sometimes change ingredients before they change packaging, so I guess I'll have to wait and see. We may risk it again if I start seeing everyone say they're doing ok with them still in a few months.

Maybe 5 years ago when this was posted they did not say “gluten-free”?  Products change over the years

      Welcome to the forum, @Morgan Tiernan! I find it outrageous that your physicians refused to test you for celiac disease despite what were obviously outbreaks of dermatitis herpetiformis. Every physician should know that dermatitis herpetiformis is a classic symptom of celiac disease! In fact, celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis and because dermatitis herpetiformis has such a distinctive appearance with the pustules in the bumps they should recognize what it was. There is just no excuse for this! You do not mention having any GI distress so I'm sure they were discounting the possibility of celiac disease because of that. Anyway, one thing that might be helpful to you is to look into a low iodine diet. Iodine exacerbates dermatitis herpetiformis. There is also a med called Dapsone which is effective for dermatitis herpetiformis but it needs to be used with caution as it puts stress on the liver. So, if you were taking Dapsone you would need to have your liver enzymes checked regularly. Not every dermatologist is familiar with the correct way to biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis so I hope it was done correctly in your case. My understanding is that the samples need to be taken next to the bumps and not on the bumps. At any rate, if your biopsy is positive for dermatitis herpetiformis you have your official celiac diagnosis. By the way you spell "coeliac" I'm assuming you live in the U.K. If so, there may be some extra benefits available to you if you have an official diagnosis. Keep us posted.

      I've never had problems with quinoa but I always rinse it well before cooking in case it's processed with other grains. I think quinoa is classified as a seed. I can't eat grains at all but I can eat all seeds. Ain't the human body a pandora's box of surprises???

      Hi there! I’m new here and very grateful to any information that can be provided on the topic of Dermatitis Herpetiformis. I’m 22 years of age and have been struggling with this rash since the age of 19. We’re pretty sure it was brought on after having Covid (which resulted in shingles on my backside and strep a year or so later ) I struggle with intense itching and burning which often cannot be reached by a scratch. A find myself applying pressure on the skin in the early stages of it developing. Once it surfaces, small fluid filled blisters can be seen, most often on my chest, back, forearms and forehead (but has sometimes been in more places). We have only recently discovered its link to eating gluten, however getting doctors to listen to me has been a real struggle. They refused to test me for coeliac and offered me no follow up information or care plan, leaving me with no choice but to follow a gluten free diet off my own whim. The rash instantly improved in a couple of days, but of course I now struggle to be tested appropriately without having to go back to eating the dreaded stuff. Anytime I reintroduce it I become so unwell with dermatitis herpetiformis and tiredness. I am also struggling with outbreaks in between taking oral steroids to treat a flare up after being glutened (steroids provided by my private dermatologist thank goodness for him!) We’re now in the process of waiting for a skin biopsy, but I’m finding the outbreaks in between difficult to manage. I enjoy going to the gym but also dance competitively. Sweat seems just to irritate like nothing else. dermatitis herpetiformis has got in the way of so many aspects of my life already and I’m struggling now to navigate it affecting me doing the things I enjoy.  I’m after some advice from anyone who can relate or has experience of similar issues. I struggle to get this information from health care professionals so would love any advice or support from anyone if possible.  Thank you so much for your time

      Hi knitty kitty, Scott and all, Thanks for kind words and asking!I will def. talk about histamine intolerance  on my next visit to gastro doc. My doc.gastro says that lactose or casein is very unlikely to create marsh 3b histology like gluten in adults in intestines. (that was previous question for Scott) Regarding my last EGD the villy was OK so refractory is out of the question based on my talk with dr. If Scott is right and there are so many intolerance in food for celiac what is left to eat?? And now histamine? I mean what should i eat? Maybe gastritis is doing all this trouble? Thanks Kind regard

      @Richardo, I'm in the same boat as you! I can't handle certified gluten free oats at all. Quinoa is the worst, even when I soak it in water and then wash under the tap for 10 minutes ... I have a reaction. It must be an immune system reaction to the proteins in these gluten-free grains.
