Rudi's GF plain tortillas
Has anyone tried these? I know one of the ingredients is guar gum.....my EnteroLab results (2013) indicated that Fecal Anti-soy IgA was in the normal range, but I am trying to "cut back" on soy all the same.

Here are the ingredients:
whole grain flours (sorghum, brown rice, corn, amaranth, quinoa, millet, teff)
corn starch
tapioca flour
rice flour
water
canola oil (non-GMO, expeller pressed)
xanthan gum
evaporated cane juice (cane sugar)
cultured dextrose and maltodextrin
salt
guar gum
baking powder (monocalcium phosphate, sodium bicarbonate, corn starch)
malic acid
active dry yeast
apple cider vinegar
(Produced in facility that also uses soy.)
I know the soy would keep some from using....what about other ingredients....would you use?
Thanks,
Terre

terre for some the tapioca flour can be an issue...
and too much processed flour in early stages of healing affect many.
do you have time to make items? i used to make savoury muffins (using some of the home made bone broth)
there are quite a few recipes on the net and on this site in the dees kitchen area for flat bread options that would be friendlier to your gut..

Gabes, I've been reading those two posts and will need to try some of the things mentioned....they sound great.
I was going to get ingredients to make a recipe I found called: Gluten Free Vegan Apple Crisp. It does call for "gluten free flour blend" made up of brown rice flour, potato starch, white rice flour and tapioca flour.....so I guess I'll take that off my list for now.
I guess simple is best for now. Thanks for all of the info!

Terre,
The tortillas you described contain so many ingredients that most of us would react to at least 1 or 2 of those ingredients. I counted at least 18 different ingredients — that's way too many for someone who has food sensitivities. And besides what Gabes mentioned about the flours, some of those flours (such as sorghum, quinoa, and especially millet), carry a known risk of cross-contamination, according to spot checks made on products sampled from grocery store shelves. Any time you get that many GF flours in one recipe, the odds of cross-contamination become significant, because of the multiple opportunities.
If you can tolerate corn, you would be much better off with plain corn tortillas. Many brands are marked GF, and they contain only a few ingredients. I stopped eating bread roughly 10 years ago. I use only corn tortillas as a replacement. I tried rice tortillas years ago, and wasn't impressed.
Tortillas taste better if they are either steamed or partially "fried" in a little bacon grease or some other safe oil.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Some members have great success baking their own GF bread, but it's much easier to do with a breadmaker designed for GF flours.
