Salsa

I was shopping at the store today and I got some tortilla chips. I wanted to get some salsa, but I have not been really happy with the brands I've tried lately. My all time favorite salsa is a homemade kind from a small mexican restaurant in the town we used to live in. I haven't eaten there since going gluten-free. Anyhow, I wanted to try a different brand and I came acrossed Santa Barbary brand. They have some cantina style salsas. They are thin and looked like what I wanted. But I was worried about not being able to check the "spices" on the label. I didn't even have my cel. phone and wasn't sure anyone would answer on Sunday anyhow...so I was reading the label and there on the bottom it said GLUTEN FREE! I was so excited. I bought two different kinds. One I don't like, but one (Salsa Mexicana) tastes almost exactly like the restaurant salsa I like!! I was so excited. When I got home I went to their website Open Original Shared Link and under the FAQS section it says that all of their salsas are gluten free, except for the Cheese & Salsa. There is one ingredient in it that has gluten (it must be in the cheese part). But all of their regular salsas say gluten-free right on the label. I love that when companies help us out that way. It's on sale this week, so I will have to go back and buy more now! :D

God bless,

Mariann

Always fun finding products that are labeled safe for us!! I love that. Enjoy your salsa.

Oh by the way, it is a local product or something that is sold on a larger scale?

The company is based in Oceanside, CA. According to their website they are currently selling thier salsas throughout the US in all states except, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and Louisiana. I don't know why they don't sell them in those states, but they might start selling them there at some point...Here is what their website says.

We're in too many stores to easily list, and more are added each day. If you can't find us in your store, ask where the refrigerated salsa is kept. If Santa Barbara Salsa isn't there, ask for it or call us at 800-748-5523!

:D I'm a salsa FANatic!!! If you live on the Eastern side of the states, there is a wonderful salsa called Green Mountain Gringo, made in Vermont. Their salsa is gluten free and very fresh. It's wonderful. I don't know if you can find it in CA, but if you see it give it a try!

Stay Healthy! gab

      Impossible to get diagnosis?

      By trents · Posted

      Do the skin care products that give you a rash list wheat as an ingredient or are you assuming from your reaction that they contain gluten? It is possible that not only do you have celiac disease, which is not an allergy but an autoimmune disorder, but that you also have a wheat allergy.

      Thank you, I’m very happy to be here!! Yes, lately I get rashes and itching when I accidentally use topical skin products with gluten in them. I got a bad rash around my hairline after unknowingly using glutenous hairspray, and a near-full-body rash with a sea salt spray that I guess I rinsed off insufficiently in the shower. Neither looked like typical dermatitis herpetiformis to me based on the posts I’ve read here—both were just large patches, red and slightly raised, with no blisters to speak of. At least yet. The sea salt spray was used yesterday and I noticed the itching this morning, with the rash forming obviously by this afternoon and evening.

      Thanks so much for your thorough reply! I was able to schedule with the local pediatric gastroenterologist who specializes in celiac but we have to wait 3 months to see her.

      Sorry, meant to type "or dermatitis herpetiformis for short". What? Every time I try it, the abbreviation for this skin condition is converted to the full length term. I'm trying to type "D" followed by "H".

      Welcome to the forum, allis! By "skin response to gluten products" are you saying you develop a rash when you use lotions, creams, shampoos, etc. that contain gluten? One of the classical symptoms of celiac disease is a skin rash known as dermatitis herpetiformis or "dermatitis herpetiformis" for short. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. It has a distinct appearance. It has little blisters or pustules in the bumps. Does this sound like what you experience? Is so, it might be possible to get a punch biopsy done when you are having an outbreak. This would be an alternative to eating gluten. If your skin biopsy was positive for dermatitis herpetiformis you could be diagnosed with celiac disease on that basis alone. Apart from that, I know of no other way to get a diagnosis apart from returning to eating gluten for a period of weeks.
