ok, made the one mistake in salsa-- label said vinager.... just vinager.. I knew I shouldn't but I did.. just very little on my three tacos... OH MY GOD!!!!!! I THINK I DIED! ALL NIGHT LONG I WAS PRAYING FOR MERCY! it wasn't until 5:00 am I fell sleep. .. I Know what An A** I am.. stupid. I knew it was wrong and I thought .. oh a little won't hurt... even said," I probably shouldn't do this".. I didn't feel like making meatloaf.. and thought hey taco's would be great , But I was out of Gluten free salsa by the time the meat was cooked and I was setting the table it was to late I did the deed.. and ate my poison. :blink: never never never again...

if it's labeled "vinegar", just like that, nothing else, on a package label, it means apple cider vinegar, and is gluten free. you may want to look at what else you ate.

My understanding and research reveals that unless it says "MALT Vinegar" it IS gluten-free!!

I've never had a problem with anything with just plain "vinegar" or "Distilled vinegar".....

Yes, might want to check the Taco Shells or something else.

You could be sensitive to something else in the salsa, as stated it 'should' be gluten-free. You may want to call the company just to check for sure. What did you use to season the meat? Many of the packaged seasonings are not safe, some are, I don't use them any more so don't know specific brands. Also the taco shells would be suspect if they are not made in a dedicated facility. There are some of us who do react to gluten vinegars, most tolerate but not all. But in the US any vinegar that is just labeled as 'vinager' is apple cider vinegar. Also how much cheese was in the tacos? If you are new to the diet you may not be digesting dairy as well as you could.

I have had these taco shells before, the meat I season myself with Mccomack chili power, cilantro, and onion... The salsa was a store made salsa from Kings.. in their deli section.. in the little clear plastic tubs. so maybe they used a different vinegar... I guess I should have known.

I don't think it's the vinegar...it's CC. I *personally* avoid anything "store made" and not prepackaged. The risk is just too high. You have no idea what they added or what spices they use.

I don't use any chilli powders, I was under the impression that none were gluten-free. Is McCorrmick? This could be another issue. You may also want to see if you ate something earlier in the day that may be the issue (delayed reaction). Also, some people with IBS seem to react to fatty and spicy foods (where as most Celiacs don't once healed).

If you have Celiac and have not been gluten-free long or still have long lasting intestinal damage, that meal may have been a little too much for your intestines. ;)

It also could be mild food poisoning etc and not be related to Celiac. Non-Celiacs get sick too!

Hope you feel better soon!

I agree totally with Doll on this one. You most likely got CC from the deli salsa. There are a lot of premade salsas that are safe or it is really easy to make up fresh yourself.

Doll, McCormicks Chili Powder is safe, any of their spices that have just the spice names on the label are safe. The packages of stuff like Taco Seasoning Mixes do need to be checked, some of those are not but the spices in the jars are okay. They recently came out with a few ethnic type blends like my favorite Garam Marsela which is great on rice and veggies.

Awesome! Thanks! I have not had "real" seasoned taccos in years!

I love using Chachies salsa. All of them are gluten free, and even say so right on the package!! I think it's the freshest tasting salsa out there, in my opinion. Yummy!

They're in the refrigerated section, usually by the deli somewhere.

Old El Paso taco seasoning is gluten-free as well.

We use the Ortega shaker bottle of taco seasoning regularly with no problem and also use their tortilla and tostada shells.

We use Pace salsa and Daisy sour cream.

I gotta tell you, I've sworn off McCormicks period. I now buy an organic line of herbs or I dry my own. What got me with McCormicks was when I read the label on the Garlic Powder I bought and it said made in China. McCormicks can claim that as far as they know the product is gluten free, and they may even test to make sure, but I no longer trust food products made in China. I'm not willing to take the risk anymore.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call! Triple A's can press on the...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.
