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.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
