Spicley organics vs McCormick

The title is kind of weird but I’m on the hunt to fill up my pantry with some dried spices and seasonings and wanted to see what everyone else used. I’m looking for a good taco seasoning ASAP in particular. Are either of these go to’s for people? I also read somewhere vanilla extract from McCormick was gluten free is this valid? I need that too. Thanks online celiac family!

The Spicley I got, was good, it is unsalted so their is that, I add a bit more cumin when I use it but I grew up in a Mexican family. Vanilla I use LorrAnn, you can generally find it in the specialty cake section of Walmart not with the bakery items.

I love the Spicely Organic Taco Seasoning. I just used some last night. The McCormick is suppose to be gluten-free but I always seem to have a reaction to something in the Taco and Chili mix. I don't know if it's from gluten but there is something in it. They also have a Fajita mix too but I always get one or the other. They taste pretty similar. The Italian and Sausage mixes are pretty good too.

Ennis do you get all your spices mainly from spicley organics? I seen they were certified. Had any problems with them before? 

Thanks pdm1981 I’m going to order the taco seasoning. Now I’m excited!

Gluten no...had one batch of cinnamon with a bad grind that was sand texture...I buy 1lb a month and it only happened once in over 6 years. Had a batch of szechuan pepper corns that was mostly twigs last year.....Just know most of their seasonings lack salt, and are chef style so they are not overly powerful but subtle and to compliment dishes not smother them.

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
