Taco Bell-my 12 yr. old's favorite fast food place. I get 2 bean tostatas and rice. I have never had a reaction.

I would think that every Mexican Restaurant is a little different. I have used my Truiumph Dining Cards in Spanish and the staff was very helpful. I would speak to the manager during off times and you can go over the menu.

One of the Mexican restaurants around here offers a gluten-free menu. On it are things like tacos w/ soft corn tortillas (my favorite are the halibut tacos), tostadas, fajitas and salads. Always have them check though; this restaurant offers "gluten free beans" since the brand they use regularly has gluten in it.

Does anyone know if the rice is generally gluten-free?

I really need to get those cards. Even using them, I am dreading having to explain the whole thing. It's so awkward.

You really have to ask about the rice at any restaurant. It's not gluten-free in more places than you think. It's hit or miss at a Mexican restaurant.

I used to go through the whole routine of asking about the chile con carne, and the beef seasoning etc. Too much trouble for the dismal results, I've only found one restaraunt that doesn't use flour in the chile con carne sauce, so my cheese enchiladas are out.

Now I dispense with all that and just order bean & cheese nachos. I fully realize there is a chance of cc with the corn nacho chips possibly being fried in the same oil as flour items. But I consider that a very minor risk (for me). Haven't had a problem yet. Now the bean issue may be a potential problem. I hadn't ever thought about that as a gluten item.

I'm starting to think the tequila counteracts cc. :D

best regards, lm

That is great! Thanks! I noticed on the English version that it doesn't state the danger in spices and stuff like that. Is that something you also have to tell them?

If I know and trust the restaurant I'll get seasonings but if it's an unfamiliar place or one that just doesn't give me the warm fuzzy I will order everything plain just to be safe. I get really sick and am very sensitive so I tend to error on the side of caution when eating out.

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
