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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes...

Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.
