Gluten Items At El Pollo Loco

The following Email was sent by an El Pollo Loco rep in July 2009. Illuminating distinctions, one chicken source / type is safe, three are not (!!).

"The follwing menu items DO NOT contain wheat gluten:

- Pinto Beans

- Refried beans

- Cotija cheese

- Mixed Vegetables

- Corn tortillas (Does contain corn gluten)

- Flame grilled mexican chicken - No wheat gluten, however it IS chopped on the same chopping board as other chicken items that do contain wheat gluten.

-Avocado Salsa does not contain wheat, barley or rye gluten.

-The Flan served at El Pollo Loco does not contain gluten at this time.

"BBQ Chicken Flavor Event does not contain gluten.The product however is prepared on the same cutting board and uses common utensils as other chicken products that may contain gluten. Depending on your level of sensitivity, this may or may not be a consideration.

The following menu items DO contain wheat gluten based on ingredients they are preapred with:

"Tacos El Carbon - Thigh meat contains wheat gluten.

Taquitos - Chicken blend contains wheat gluten. Flour tortillas contain wheat gluten.

Salsa - Chipolte salsa contains wheat gluten so all salsas served at the salsa bar are not included on the 'does not contain gluten' list, due to the risk of cross contamination by guests of one salsa to another while filling their cups. *Pre- packed salsas with the exception of chipolte, would be an acceptable option if available.

Pollo Bowls - Soy sauce used in marinade during preparation contains wheat gluten.

Burritos - Soy sauce used in marinade during preparation contains wheat gluten.

Salads - Soy sauce used in marinade during preparation contains wheat gluten.

Rice - Contains gluten at this time

Queso sauce currently being served at El Pollo Loco does contain wheat gluten

Flour Tortillas - Contain wheat gluten."

I always get the 2 piece leg and thigh combo with pinto beans and corn on the cob.

Love it every time, and I'm uber-sensitive.

I've had it for 2 or 3 years and only gotten sick once (I imagine from cc).

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
