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)

The allergen information displayed on this site is based on standard product formulations and is current as of March 1, 2005. Variations may occur due to differences in suppliers, ingredient substitutions, recipe revisions, and/or product production at the restaurant.

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.

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.

      Thank you.. Christina My anxiety is through the roof.  I think it was from eggs.  I really don't know because my eyes feel sore. Like I'm allergic to them.  I was defient in B12.   My heart is pounding and it won't stop.  Not sure what to do.   I don't have much support other than this forum.    Colleen
