Old el paso taco sauces in the JARS are also msg free. The packets contain msg which is evil.

I use the McCormick's taco seasoning packets (I think the less sodium, regular, and mild are all gluten free). I used them before I was diagnosed, too!

We do "nacho night" at our house too, and love it! Enjoy!

Most Ortega products are gluten-free, including the hard shells and seasonings.

I'm a fan of Spice Hunter's Fajita Seasoning for things like that.

I got a reply fro B&G a*Aug 31, 2005", they are the parent company of Ortega. They issue the following about Ortega( it says ORTEGA All Products, as it was in a big list of all the brands they sell)

ORTEGA All Products

Ortega has been following a strict labeling policy with regard to any allergens in our foods and incoming ingredients.

We have insisted that our suppliers notify us if gluten is used in any of their ingredients and yet is not declared on their labeling. Thus, we believe we have uncovered any potential use of gluten containing ingredients.

Therefore, any Ortega product is fully labeled for any presence of gluten or gluten containing ingredients.

I have been wondering about taco seasoning as well. I have a big container of McCormick (the kind you buy at Costco), but the ingredients label gets peeled off to reveal the instructions. So I don't even have ingredients to check. Is this the same as the packets? Has anyone else used this before? I don't want to waste it if I don't have to. It's half full!

I'd just call McCormick and ask them about the large container.

Be careful with McCormick Taco packets. Last I checked MILD and HOT are both gluten-free but not the MEDIUM. Why?... Who knows!! :rolleyes:

You guys are all AMAZING! Thank you! I  was also wondering about the taco seasoning thing. It's so scary to be unsure about something because it's like playing Russian roulette with my health.

These comments are 10 years old.  I know ingredients of taco or chili seasoning packets have changed in that time.  PLEASE do not go by 10 year old info.  Read the ingredients.  They list wheat very clearly if they add a bit of wheat flour as a thickener.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
