I have seen McCormick Taco Seasoning listed on a gluten free list. Has anyone used this seasoning? If so, did it cause problems.?

McCormick is a company that will clearly list all gluten ingredients, and won't hide them. For all their products, if you don't see wheat, barley, malt, rye, or oats listed, then it is safe. They are a great company for Celiacs!

Their website says:

When a product that contains gluten is formulated, we take precautions to ensure the source of gluten is declared on our label in the ingredient statement.

And, yes, I use their taco seasonings and I have never had a problem with any of their products. Enjoy!

We use this once a week for taco night - no problems.

Just be careful to read the labels. Today, I considered buying the McCormick's Chicken Taco seasoning, but when I read the ingredients, that one does list WHEAT.

Like others here, I use their products with no problem. Read.

a really good company to buy spices and blends from is The Spice House

If they were to use flour they list it. Most companies that mix up spices like this don't use flour as a filler.

I thought it was ok when I was first diagnosed but later realized I was dreading taco night because I didn't feel well after. Decided to look for issues, found the taco seasoning to be the problem, verified with my Nima (which others will tell you is no good for testing spices but it works fine as far as I'm concerned). I'm doing much better with McCormick certified gluten free taco seasoning mix. Why would they make gluten-free if the original was gluten-free anyway?

I know the advice written on McCormick products is that they “claim” wheat if it’s in there. Why on their taco seasoning mix, it’s not listed as possible cross-contamination? This should be added as a warning. I feel that I cannot trust McCormick spices now. It is also bothering my child for taco night and I have switched to Spice Island’s Taco Seasoning Mix that contains the same ingredients and claims gluten-free.

      I did a tTG-IgA test to check if they were high I usually do it a lot when I was a kid but the last time I did it was when I was 12 then now at 17 and they were 32 the normal is less than 7 i guess .also I want to know,I do have gluten free supplements but they are not absorbed well due to the inflammation, what do I do should I wait six month after I eat gluten free food or take now even tho I am not sure if they able to be absorbed and I don't see improvements

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      Actually, it's an opioid hit.  Gluten attaches to opioid receptors we have throughout our bodies including our digestive systems.  That opioid hit from gluten attaching to opioid receptors is probably why some people don't have gastrointestinal symptoms.  Some people feel worse after going gluten free because they are no longer consuming exogenous opioids from gluten. We also have opioid receptors in our brains which can account for brain fog.  Remember that antibodies against gluten attack not only the gluten on the receptors, but also our own tissues because structural elements in our cell membranes resemble gluten.  In our digestive systems, our villi, the anemone like projections that absorb nutrients, are damaged.  Same type of thing in the tissue of the brain.  People with gluten ataxia tend to produce tTg 6 IgA antibodies.  Diagnostic blood tests for Celiac test for tTg 2 antibodies from the intestines.  People with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's also produce tTg 6 antibodies although they may not have Celiac Disease.   Gluten is not just an addiction, it's a health hazard to us.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      Do you have a soy or peanut allergy? This shouldn't be a concern purely from a celiac or gluten sensitivity perspective.

      Welcome to the forum, @Sarawiththeceliac! Can you give us the reference range for your celiac test? Different labs use different reference ranges for negative vs. positive so without that a test score of 32 is not that helpful. And its that a recent test or was it done when you were 5 years old? It is imperative that you begin to observe a strict gluten-free diet. If you will do this, you can expect substantial improvement in your health. I can't promise you that you will experience 100% repair of all body damage but you can expect significant improvement overall. You will also need invest in some high potency gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplements. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel. That is the area of the intestinal track where all of the vitamins and minerals contained in what we eat gets absorbed. The damage to this villous lining greatly reduces the efficiency of the absorption. In the meantime, here is a primer for getting off to a good start on the gluten free diet:

      By Daisyskd · Posted

      I was just about to pop a progesterone pill into my mouth for the first time, before I read the label. It says, may contain soy or peanut on the cvs label. Mfr is Aurobindo. Maybe cvs just slaps this warning on all meds. Idk but now I have to dig into it.
