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.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

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

      By trents · Posted

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
