Hi all, I'm still fairly new at all this gluten-free stuff. I'm going to dinner at a mexican restaurant tonight, I think Margaritas. Any ideas on what I can eat? Can I eat corn tortillas or tacos?

Doh, I just saw this on their site :)

I have a gluten allergy/ Celiac Disease. What can I eat at your restaurant?

Due to wheat or glutens you should not have any of our items made with flour tortillas, steamed chicken or tio meat (our marinated steak used in many appetizers and entrees), red chile sauce or enchilada sauce which include burritos, chimichangas, enchiladas, quesadillas, etc. Mexican rice, French fries, chicken tenders, and all our desserts also contain glutens. These are just some of our more popular menu items and other items we serve may contain glutens as well. However, you can have our NY strip or grilled chicken breast with grilled vegetables as a side or several different garden salads on our menu. We want to make your experience at Margaritas as enjoyable as possible so please speak with a manager before ordering your meal.

As with any food allergy, our recommendation to you is that prior to ordering your dinner, you tell your server about your food allergy and ask to speak with a manager. Notify the manager of your gluten allergy and the types of foods you can't eat and he/she can ensure that your meal is free from any allergens. The managers are knowledgeable about all recipes and menu items and will check ingredients on items that may be questionable to ensure your safety. The managers will also work with you to create special dishes if needed.

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
