Is The Taco Bell Sauce In Pintos And Cheese Gluten-free?

Hi! I ate the pintos and cheese from taco bell with two crunchy tacos today, because I heard that they were gluten-free. But I forget if the Taco Bell Sauce in the beans is gluten-free? Thank you!

the taco sauce is gluten-free... but you said you had crunchy tacos, did you just get the shells and put your pintos and cheese in them or did you have the meat mixture? If so the meat mixture is NOT gluten-free.

That's exactly what I was thinking. My husband always gets the Southwest Steak Bowl with no Jalapeno sauce & pintos & cheese. He loads them up with sauce. Can't seem to get enough hot sauce.

Pintos and Cheese

Mexican Rice

Suggestions for Wheat and Gluten Sensitive Individuals

- Tostada

- Fiesta Taco Salad (order Chicken instead of Beef; order without the shell and without the Red Strips)

- Express Taco Salad (order Chicken instead of Beef)

- Zesty Chicken BORDER BOWL® (order without the Zesty Dressing and without the Red Strips)

- Southwest Steak Bowl (order without the Creamy Jalapeno Sauce)

That is the taco bell list. Hope it helps.

Like Nini said, the meat in the tacos is NOT gluten-free. You are causing damage to your insides if you are eating it. No matter ifyou are getting a reaction or not.

If you look at the nutritional page the box is "checked" for wheat. The tacos are NOT wheat-free. The meat isn't safe according to the taco bell corporation.

Thanks for the help!! I didnt have a clue that the tacos had gluten! No wonder I kept getting sick. I always thought it was just a cross contamination problem at home or gluten had slipped in somewhere. Now i know why! I use to get 3 tacos from taco bell about every couple days! thanks!

Hmmmm. Maybe we're not looking at the same link? It's this one: Open Original Shared Link

About 10 lines down, it says Taco, then Taco Supreme - under both of these, the Wheat selection is not checked (it's blank), however the Gluten column is checked. I was just wondering how something could not have wheat but still have gluten.

Barley (Malt), Rye or Oats?

the corn taco shells at taco Bell are NOT gluten free...I looked up "Taco Bell Ingredients". There is oat fiber in the corn tortilla shells and it said the shelld do contain gluten. I got sick, that's why I looked up.

Guest ~jules~

Taco Bell's taco seasoning (if bought at the store) the first ingridient is wheat flour.

Taco Bell corn taco shells have oat fiber - I found out when I ggogled Taco Bell ingredients. I got sick after eating chicken tacos in crunchy shells and wondered why.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
