I used McCormicks original seasoning.... The ingredient label didn't have any red flags that stuck out to me!

Also, as an update, I just got a reply from La Preferida: Good enough for me. J

Ha!! True story!!

I've just been through the diagnosis thing. As others have said, the GI will likely order an endoscopy if he suspects Celiac. (Or, if you're like me, your GI will doubt "full-blown Celiac" and think you have Crohns or IBS, and order a colonoscopy on top of your endoscopy. THAT was a fun day. [/sarcasm]) I can only speak for myself, but my procedures...

I might be more inclined to take the medical research quoted more seriously if they didn't always refer to your intestines as your "gut." LOL. Just saying. J

We love pugs, too!! My sister has a lil pug named Finnegan, and I think its safe to say we're all a little obsessed with him. If I wasn't posting from my phone, I'd include photos. :-) Again, thanks for the insight. It still FEELS like a glutening to me, but I feel like I've been SO careful... Who knows?? It's comforting to talk to (type to?) others...

Thanks for the reply! I did some pseudo-sleuthing (read: Google searching) on the Taco Seasoning before use. It seems to be okay, and I don't read anything on the ingredient list that seems suspect. But I'll continue to use caution. Thanks for pointing out that it might not be gluten related. You may be right. I just assumed it was a gluten...

After some calling around to the manufacturer, I found out that shampoo/conditioner I've always used is free of gluten ingredients. (Pantene's "Beautiful Lengths" line.) I've heard that other versions of Pantene are also gluten-free, but I find it best to call the manufacturer directly to be sure. I'm in the same boat looking for gluten-free cosmetics...

Hello all, Forgive me if I'm missing something, I'm kind of a newb to all this having only been gluten-free for about a month. But somehow, I've managed to gluten myself, and I'm trying to figure out the culprit. We had tacos for dinner tonight. I used corn torillas (labeled gluten-free,) 100% organic beef seasoned with McCormick taco seasoning...

Loved this post... I'm currently training for my first half marathon (May 6th, OMG, it's practically here.) I was diagnosed just this month, and I've only been gluten free for a few weeks. I haven't noticed any difference in how I feel while training, but it's good to have some recs on protein bars if I start to feel a lag. Rfin, I second the poster...

Lucky for me, my favorite drink seems to be safe. (For now, at least. I'm very new to this and I'm learning that I may want to avoid certain things in the beginning... still hammering that out.) But I usually go for Banana Malibu Rum mixed with Pepsi. It's like drinking a liquid circus peanut. Heavenly. J

I'm glad someone brought this up. I was just diagnosed (about two weeks ago, I'm a TOTAL newb!) I was looking through all the ingredients in my hair care products and was distressed to find Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein in some of them. I saw the word "wheat" and immediately thought that put them on my DO NOT USE list. Looks like I'll have to do some more...
