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.

      Augmentin (amoxicillin) syrup

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Good point. I will go to the pharmacy to ask who is the provider of this Augmentin and i'll contact them. The problem is i need to know about it very fast cuz i am already delaying the antibiotics administration. My little girl is not afraid of injections but i cannot say she likes them. It's normal. We did choose the syrup solutions because it was the easiest. Of course where there are flavors added...the mighty gluten may be present or not. Thanks a lot for your time and for the reply! 👏

      Gluten Free Daily Vitamins for Kids w/ Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      You can always just double up or triple up on whatever gluten free chewable multivitamin product you may already be using. That should cover the bases. Celiacs need the same vitamins and minerals as non celiacs, just in higher doses to compensate for less efficient absorption. Are you wanting to boost any particular vitamins or minerals? I seriously doubt you will find a vitamin product specifically designed for celiac kids. There just isn't a big enough market for such a product to provide the incentive for a company to invest in such a product line.

      Enegy level extremely low

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Sicilygirl, I had lost a great amount of weight, felt depressed, and had no appetite early on.  I found that taking Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine extremely helpful.   Doctors routinely check B12 and Vitamin D, but they fail to test for deficiencies in other B vitamins like Thiamine, because blood tests for other vitamins are not accurate measures of deficiencies.   Low Thiamine can result in depression, anxiety, unintentional weight loss, loss of appetite, and  emotional lability (quickly changing emotions and moods), and gastrointestinal symptoms (gastrointestinal Beriberi).  These symptoms of low thiamine can be easily brushed aside and contributed to other things.  The best way to tell if one is low in thiamine us to take it and look for health improvement.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  No harm, no foul for trying it.   I took a B 50 Complex along with 300 mg Benfotiamine twice a day with the first two meals of the day.  A one a day multivitamin does not provide sufficient amounts to overcome the  malabsorption of celiac disease and correct low vitamin levels stored inside cells.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so any extra or unabsorbed is easily excreted in urine.  The eight B vitamins work together.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  If there's not sufficient thiamine, the other B vitamins are not utilized and not stored inside cells.  Thiamine is needed for iron absorption.  Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D. We need more Thiamine when we are physically stressed by illness, emotionally stressed, and physically active.  Coping with Celiac covers all three.  Thiamine stored inside cells can become depleted within three days to three weeks.  Symptoms can change depending on how much thiamine is absorbed from your diet.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine results in an eighty percent increase in brain activity, so symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  The brain just thinking can use as much thiamine as leg muscles use running a marathon.  Mitochondria become sick and die without sufficient Thiamine.     Doctors aren't required to take many nutrition courses in their training period.  (Twenty hours of nutrition education out of seven years at medical schools funded by pharmaceutical companies.  Vitamins cannot be patented, so doctors cannot make money by prescribing vitamins like they make money by prescribing pharmaceutical drugs.).    I started feeling better within a very short period of time after taking Benfotiamine and a B Complex.  I also took magnesium, because thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.   Giving the body the vitamins and minerals it needs to function will increase your health.
