Eating food cooked on a grill (eg, quesadillas, fish)

Hi, my 9 yo daughter has celiac. At Mexican restaurants or burrito shops, I'd like to order her a quesadilla on corn tortillas. I am concerned about cross-contamination from the the quesadilla being cooked on the same grill as flour tortillas. What do other people do? Does it help to ask to clean the grill? Other food items apply too, like grilled fish.

If you have Celiac, you would want a clean grill or piece of foil.  Pieces of flour tortilla will stick to the grill and then transfer onto your corn tortilla.  Same with grilled sandwiches.

I ordered mahi mahi and baked sweet potato fries off the special gluten free menu last night and had a head ache all day.  They said they cleaned before making my food but I assume it is difficult in a restaurant kitchen.

In Mexican restaurants, I ask them to heat the corn tortillas in foil.  Also, make sure you ask if the chips are made in a dedicated fryer.

Another thing you need to think about is... When you order fish, they typically DREDGE white fish in flour prior to grilling - so be sure to ASK EXACTLY how the chef in the kitchen cooks it!

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
