Hello, i am new here and wanted to share with all of you that pollo loco has a pretty good gluten free menu. I haven't tried any of it yet, though. Just wondering if any of you have, and is any of it good?  Thanks :D

We have been going to El Pollo Loco since it opened over 20 years ago!  Yes, there are gluten-free options.  I haven't had any cross contamination issues, but it is possible -- just like any restaurant.  Since my dx, I've just ordered the chicken and have brought it home and made my own sides.   I guess I'm not as comfortable at my local store.  In the past I always had to check my order and 50% of the time they'd give me the wrong chicken (leg, thigh) or flour instead of corn tortillas.

Wow I never knew Pollo Loco had a gluten free menu.  I would like to try our local one, and talk with the manager. We have multiple ones here in our area.  I'm sure as with anywhere, there are concerns about cross contact. But I would love to try it and talk with their manager about risks/shared fryers, and if it is a positive experience, I will take my family.

THanks for the info!

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
