Old El Paso Anyone?

Just wondering if the Old El Paso taco seasoning (powder) is gluten-free? I read the label, I *think* it's ok, just wondering if anyone had any experience with it. Burritos have been a quick fave for our family for awhile, and it would be nice to know I could still have it with corn flour tacos or something!

I think the jar is better. If I recall, the powder has msg and some react to that.

Old El Paso is a brand that will clearly list wheat,rye,barley,oats right on the label or it will be ok.

One other brand that is safe is Ortega. Someone also told me that Beritos is safe but I am not sure on that one.

Thanks everyone! I've never had any problem with MSG myself, then again, never had any problem with gluten either......

I get thrown by things like "hydrogenated vegetable oil" and stuff like that. You are all helping me learn! Thank God for this place!

As a matter of fact, I haven't had any problems with that. I've used McCormick taco seasoning, just this week too. No problems with that brand.

The seasoning is gluten-free, but I've started having issues with it since going gluten-free and I think a lot of other people here have to.

Like Kaiti said, they will clearly indicate gluten on their ingredient list. I eat Old El Paso taco seasoning, corn taco's and salsa without any problems. Just make sure you always read the ingredient list, as products can change.

Hi,

I find it easier just to make my own taco seasoning mix. It's simple and you know what's in it!

This makes the equivilent of 1 1/4 oz package taco seasoning mix:

1 Tablespoon minced dried onions (can omit if you use fresh onions)

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tsp cornstarch (to thicken - I usuall omit this entirely)

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more if you like it HOT)

stir to blend. Use the same amount of water you would use with the packaged stuff. My son loves tacos and even he'll mix up a batch when he's in the mood for them! :D

I read the package today also and thought that it seemed ok....I do know that in past research I discover most of the McCormick individual seasonings to be gluten-free and have used their taco mix for some time now. They have it posted on a website when I researched it.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
