Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Flour Tortillas

I am currently undiagnosed, but have IBS-C like symptoms and possibly something along the lines of fructose malabsorption or something similar. I am currently going through the entire testing phase. I seem to do okay with flour tortillas but this most recent brand has seemed to cause some excess gas/bloating/stomach gurgling.

I typically eat Mission flour tortillas and have just switched to Don Marcos. The packages are similar as far as ingredients go, however, Don Marcos does list milk under its allergen information where Mission does not. Also, gluten is specifically called out on the Don Marcos ingredients.

Anyone have any ideas here on whether this could be a cause for a spike in symptoms or if it was something else:
