Unhappy La Tortilla Factory made me sick...?

Has anyone else had this problem? I haven't eaten any carbs of this type in 4 months except for the WASA crackers. I was surprised to find La Tortilla Factory Tortillas at my local Safeway so I thought I'd try 'em. I had one for breakfast with my usual eggs and bacon. Before I was finished I felt like there was a rock in my stomach. This got worse till I felt almost nauseas. Then the sluggishness started and moderate lethargy. Just like I used to have all the time when I ate bread, etc. It's been 5 hours and my stomach is better but I feel hung over now. I am really disappointed! Any ideas from anyone as to why this might have happened.
Thanks
k

Perhaps you are allergic to something in those? Like a wheat intolerance?

Not sure.

Yes. Since I posted that, I have been researching and it could either be wheat or yeast allergy. I don't know. But after hearing so many good things about those Tortillas, it's a great disappointment, but good to know that I probably can't tolerate those kind of foods anymore. Thanks for your suggestion.

Sounds a LOT like a wheat intolerance, and the Ingredients definitely include wheat.

Probably the reason the Wasa didn't affect you this way is because they're generally made with rye.

K,

This may be a stupid question, but did you look at the nutritional information on the package? Some of the La Tortilla Factory Tortillas are full carb tortillas. Only three kinds (I think) out of several kinds they have are labeled LOW CARB.
