Hello everyone. I have a question. I made tacos for dinner last night and I felt ill after. I uses gluten free (ortega) shells and McCormics taco seasonings. I thought these seasonings were gluten free? Has anyone else had issues with this. Is there any other taco seasoning that I can use that is good and gluten free?

I have not used McCormicks taco seasoning but they will list on it if it contains wheat,rye,barley,oats. They are a brand like Kraft. Did you check the label?

I was actually in the grocery store this week and had the McCormicks taco seasoning packet in my hand wondering of the gluten-free status. I called the 800 number on the packet and the rep assured me that all of the McCormick taco seasonings are gluten-free.

Taco seasoning makes me sick--even if it is gluten-free. I think it is the corn ingredients--its pretty intense with spices too. If I make my own seasoning with separate ingredients I am okay, but can't use the prepackaged taco seasoning...

Thanks! I am not sure what it was then. Maybe it was the spices? I have always been able to eat tacos even before going gluten-free. Maybe I am more senstive to the spices now.

Thanks to all!

Hi there,

I use McCormicks' ORIGINAL taco seasoning with no problem. Was your beef 100% pure? Maybe your tummy is just upset with the spices or something else you ate was contaminated.

One time I bought beef at the butcher, came home, and found a tiny bit of breading in it! It turns out it was stored right next to breaded chicken!!!!

This could be your problem as well.....

I usually make my own from individual spices--

for tacos, you could try paprika, cumin, onion/garlic powder, chili powder, garlic salt, black/red pepper. You'll be able to make it exactly like you want it. You wouldn't have to use all of these spices either. Good luck !

Yeah, I've seen ground beef that has wheat added to it. (The stuff wrapped up at the butcher's counter... freaked me out! They do have to label it, but I wouldn't have otherwise thought I'd have to look!)

I like Spice Hunter's Fajita Seasoning. Tasty!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
