Serving size, prep, and portion notes for flour tortilla
A flour tortilla is essentially a soft wheat wrap, so it carries the two big wheat triggers together: gluten and fructans. It grades as containing gluten and high in wheat fructans and FODMAPs, which is why burritos, quesadillas and wraps can bloat or hurt if you have celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity or IBS. Switching to a corn tortilla drops the gluten and the wheat fructans in a single swap.
Watch for
Made from wheat, so it contains gluten and is off-limits for celiac disease and gluten sensitivity / High in wheat fructans, a FODMAP that bloats many people with IBS even when gluten is not the problem / Ferments readily, making it a weaker choice on a low-fermentation SIBO diet / Contains wheat, one of the top EoE and food-allergy triggers
