This revelation that I can eat Corn Chex :lol: got me to thinking - probably taco shells are fine then too, correct? I eat Fritos every day.

I am not aware of Taco Bell serving actual corn tortillas, though.

I am pretty sure they are all flour ones.

I used to occasionally do Taco Bell.

It's the one fast food that wouldn't make me as ill as the others.

Yeah, I am pretty sure those are flour tortillas ... :)

Connie its me again! Regular taco shells that you can get at the grocery & read the ingredients are usually fine. Look at Taco Bells web site - almost everything on it has gluten or is fixed next to gluten often by kids or people who don't really want to work there.

Hi Karen! :D Ok, so maybe making tacos at home for supper is a go ?? :rolleyes: (having read the package ingredients)

Taco Bell has relatively few options.

Tacos and burritos are great, as long as you get full corn tortillas (hard or soft).

I am not a big fan of corn but I do like the brown rice flour tortillas from Food for Life.

Make sure they are not the sprouted ones and they say gluten free on the bag, though!!

Those are great.

Make your own.

Just avoid Taco Bell, okay :)

We buy taco shells after reviewing ingredients etc. We also fry our own using corn tortillas. However, your post is called Taco Bell. If you go to their website they have a very detailed list of allergens. There are things listed that have no "wheat" but still do not fit the "gluten free" column due to risk of cross contamination. I've brought my son (celiac) their once and tried to confirm that they were prepared elsewhere and wouldn't come into contact with any other foods. She looked at me like I was speaking Jibberish... Whatever, he ate them and "seemed" fine.

I go to Taco Bell. I just order the tostada. It is safe. Unfortunately there aren't many choices there, but tostadas were one of my favorites prior to getting diagnosed so it's not too bad for me. I always ask the preparer to wash their hands and change their gloves first and they've always done so with no complaints. I haven't gotten sick eating there yet.

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
