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!

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
