Taco Bell?

So, you would *think* a taco would be okay...but unfortunately, TB uses oats in their shells and meat. Why? Who knows.

Anyway, according to their ingredient statement, tostada shells, beans, and rice are okay (as well as the sauce - minus fire sauce). So would a tostada of beans, lettuce, cheese, and mild sauce be okay? Do you eat there?

Not in a million years. The employees never wash their hands and there is cross contamination everywhere.

In fact, I don't see how you could not get sick eating there.

Avoid it. Its not worth it. Make your own at home - its simple.

Nope. But daughter is allergic to soy and they put soy in everything.

I didn't particularly like Taco Bell pre-diagnosis and what I've heard about them post-diagnosis has definitely put them on my skip list.

However, the Taco Bell Fat Free refried beans in a can in the grocery store are a staple at my house. Pity I can't count on the fast food spots to be as safe.

When I want tacos, I go to Taco Cabana. They even have a gluten free menu and I've had very few problems with them over the years since diagnosis.

I HAD NO IDEA!!!! Thats why I got SICK when I was a kid....bastards! They should advertise that!!!

I do remember right after I got my first car (I didn't know about Celiac at this point) my friends and I were in the drive through and we saw the delivery truck. The back door was open and there were a ton of boxes that said "Grade D beef, mostly edible".....we all ordered chicken and never returned to any taco bell. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!?!?

There was athread on Taco Bell a few months ago. When my parents came up to visit we went to the mall and were looking for a place to eat. None of us were terribly hungry so we decided to try to find fast food. I remember what was discussed on that thread, and on others advice I ordered a steak bowl. It was good, but that has been my only experience with them, and it was a good one. It would have to be a special circumstance for me to return to any fact food place asside from a Wendy's Frosty.....oh great, now I'm hungry!

Just FYI, Wendy's baked potatos and chili is a mainstay of fast food for me. I've never had a problem so long as I remember to tell them not to put crackers in the bag.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
