A Chipotle will be opening in our small town this month and I am excited. I probably will not use it often but it is a reasonable fast food option for me when family wants to do fast food. I am not supersensitive.- celiac disease

Yes, for sure. My wife is super sensitive, me, not as much. She has been Celiac for 10 years, and I just recently was diagnosed. Quite crazy that a husband and wife would be both Celiac, but we are. I've been watching out for her for 10 years, and then I get it. We joke that she's contagious. LOL- celiac disease

Is Chipotle Gluten-Free? A Celiac's Guide to Safe Dining
Nonetheless, unless you are a supersensitive celiac, Chipotle would seem to be one of the better options when you must eat out. I'm not suggesting that any celiac, supersensitive or not, should ignore cross contamination issues but sometimes you are in situations where you have to make choices between options that are less than perfect.- celiac disease

Is Chipotle Gluten-Free? A Celiac's Guide to Safe Dining
Unless they've changed their means and methods, I wouldn't risk it. Observing the workers, they will handle a flour tortilla and then grab a handful of lettuce. Cross contamination would be likely in this scenario.- celiac disease

1.

My gluten symptoms are not gastrointestinal, they're the same symptoms you're describing....vocal cord swelling, throat clearing, white stuff on tongue, sore throat...mine has little white bumps & red areas...these symptoms happen after I eat gluten & I'm thinking now I've been eating pasta the last while that prob I'm allergic to even though it says gluten free. I also can't eat oats, barley, some gluten free flours, or grocery/bakery gluten free products. Some food industry professionals say that it's not the gluten that's the problem it's what they're spraying on crops...which would explain why I'm allergic to so much...sprays are used for almost everything. You may want to think about what you're eating...are there things labeled gluten free you're consuming? Cos they may be causing the reaction...gluten free breads, crackers, pastas? Barley or oats? Even some buckwheat flour I can react to...Cornflakes have barley malt in them so do some ice creams, a swiss chocolate bar i bought I reacted to because the label had gluten on it. You really have to be careful. I would take things out of your diet if you're eating them & see if things improve.

I do not use menthol lozenge, but I have found a brand of oral probiotics that has same ingredients as Prodentim but without spending $50 bottle. I bought Naturewise Oral probiotics from Amazon at $29 a bottle for 50 chewables instead of the 30 qty. The Simbicort upset the bacteria is my mouth, had white tongue and created a dental problem with a tooth, plus the inflammation in throat, vocal cords. Used the chewable and rested it along the gum where tooth hurts 4 x on Monday. Tuesday, went to dentist and she looked at what I thought was my problem tooth and she said all looked pink and happy. No problem. Also, I spoke with my Allergist and he said instead of two puffs am and pm, try one puff only in am.Can always add one puff in PM if needed. Rinse mouth twice and gargle twice, and brush tongue. Use the Rescue inhaler Albuterol if needed (which I didn't need to). Know that Flucasolone, Simbicort, Advair are interchangeable. -
I have the exact same symptoms for a couple of wks now but I've been taking Symbicort for quite awhile at this point. I read you can get yeast infection in the vocal cords so I may ask my Dr. for antifungal meds cos I cant wait for an ENT exam. Also read on this site the connection between Vit D and K2 deficiency and asthma...doesn't apply to me cos mine is from mold in a house years ago but still might try and see if my asthma improves. I am Celiac and gluten causes the same symptoms but it says this inhaler is gluten free and it only started acting up so that option is out. I use Ventolin on occasion but using that for many many years. For me I will see if can switch inhalers to a brand that doesn't affect vocal cords as much, Advair is NOT one of them, plus will try the supplements. Do not suck on menthol lozenges cos menthol dries out cords more...sleeping elevated and sucking on ice chips gets the swelling down...at night this can really help especially. I can't continue like this so will get on everything this coming week.

Did a little more research just now and found out that even though the max methane should not exceed 10. It is normal to be around 3 and not rise. Again, I was at 13 so this does make me a bit suspicious. This was done back in May of 2024. I do recall being put on 14 day Antibiotic called Rifaximin but I'm really not sure if it made a difference, but if it did, then the problems still came back:( -

I did a SIBO Test about a year ago, and I barely elevated on the Methane portion (max was 10 and I hit 13). Dr wasn't too concerned.
