Jim,

I am not ALLERGIC to any foods. For one to be allergic to something one must
get a *histamine* reaction. As for other food intolerances, I am not
intolerant to anything else that is in the mentioned products, and other
corn tortillas are fine. I ask that you go buy a bag of Garden of Eatin'
Black Bean Chips, first read the label to convince yourself that there is
nothing with gluten in it. Then eat a generous portion. Then please e-mail
back to the list whether you get a reaction or not.

P.S. You will usually find them in the Health Food store. They are
distributed nationally.
