I went to Baja Fresh on Monday and had the chips (I thought they were gluten free) now I'm not so sure. I didnt get immediately sick like usual but my stomach has been bothering me a little bit all week. I thought maybe it was a CC issue, but now I think maybe it was the chips alone. Does anyone know if the tortilla chips are gluten free?

I just received an email back from Baja Fresh and this was the answer...

Thank you for taking the time to contact Baja Fresh with your inquiry

regarding gluten (wheat, barley, rye and oats). The ingredients used in

making our corn tortilla chips are gluten free.

The following menu items contain gluten:

Flour Tortillas

Tostada Shells

Flautas

Tortilla Soup

Breaded Fish

Raspberry Iced Tea (where available)

So it looks like they should be okay.

I'm sure the ingredients are gluten-free. I think it's just that they don't have a dedicated fryer for the chips. Not sure though. A lot of people seem to eat there with no problems.

yeah the ingredients are gluten-free, but there could be CC b/c they do not have a dedicated fryer, so they probably fry stff w/ gluten in it in the same fryer, thus causing you to get a CC issue.

NOT SO SAFE! After reading all of these coments, at fitst I was hopeful, then skeptical. I called the Mgr at our Baja Fresh and he said: friers are all shared w/wheat products, salsas are thickened with tortilla chips (contaminated?), thought the cicken and steak would be OK, but could not tell me the spice ingredients ... trade secret. Said the Mahi Mahi and rice would be safe.

      Thanks.  I never would have dreamed this would take so much research!

      Fibrin glue

      By trents · Posted

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrin_glue From what I can tell, all ingredients seem to be of animal origin. The article does indicate the exact composition varies from manufacturer to manufacturer so to get a more precise answer you would likely need to find out who manufactured the fibrin in question and contact them.

      Perhaps a silly question, but does fibrin glue, often used in surgery, contain gluten?  I've searched and searched and cannot find an answer.  Thanks, Tammie

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/immunoglobulin-test https://labs.selfdecode.com/blog/high-iga/ I think for total IGA to be elevated to the point of being out of normal range there would need to be some chronic inflammation or infection happening, not just a short term event. As I said, I would visit with your doctor over this and I would ask to get that checked again in the near future after your back pain and cold have been resolved for a time.

      @knitty kitty Hi there, All my other bloods were within normal limits, though my iron has always been just a couple from being below range. Physio thought I had Ehlers-danlos syndrome, she sent a letter to my doctor but doctor said i don't have it. I've only had stomach issues for 1.5 years. About 4 years ago I lost a tonne of weight (I did go through a really traumatic experience at that time which I got c-ptsd from) then 2.5 years ago I put all the weight back on plus 14kg and all within 6 weeks. I went up 3 clothing sizes. Bloat up like I'm  months pregnant. Pins and needles, aching joints and muscles, major forgetfulness and brain fog. Only get about 5 hrs sleep, urinate every hour day or night. Nausea and bad belly pain and rashes. No diarrhea though. It all just seemed to come out of no where. It's crazy and I'm getting no answers. Biopsy getting done it 2 days.
