Chick fil a

Newly Diagnosed

I recently read that chick fil a grilled nuggets are no longer gluten free because they changed the marinade.  I could not find anything to confirm this.  Everything I have seen about chick fil a says that they are a good option.  Does anyone know any different?  I do not get major glutening symptoms, just heartburn.  I have been having mild acid indigestion and am not sure if it is related to a recent meal at chick fil a or if it is just mild acid indigestion not related to celiac...

Yes the grilled nuggets are still gluten free. So is there grilled chicken. We visit our local chickfila frequently.  We love their fries to!  On their website you can see a list of their gluten free options.  Maybe not all stores are as good as good as ours,  but the one by our home in Mesa is great.  They are trained from the top down on celiac or gluten allergies. They take great care in preventing cross contact.

They will print out an exact list if you ask them.

Grilled chicken (whole breast filet, seasoning [water, apple cider vinegar, soybean oil, yeast extract, salt, modified corn starch, palm oil, dehydrated garlic, dehydrated onion, corn maltodextrin, sea salt, flavor, sugar, chicken stock, cane molasses, chicken fat, spice, natural flavor {including smoke}, dextrose, lemon peel, citric acid, red bell pepper, orange juice concentrate, grape juice concentrate, natural flavor, paprika, vinegar, xanthan gum, ascorbic acid, and spices]).

 

That is the ingredients list posted on their website. That being said, cross-contamination could very well occur.

My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease.  We are still learning all the names for gluten.  I've noticed that some items state they have Dextrose in them.  If a company says it's Gluten Free but has Dextrose in the ingredients am I to assume that this is Dextrose in the form of corn and not wheat?

It is safe.  If derived from wheat, it should be on the label.

but....as a newbie, I would recommend avoiding eating out and sticking to whole foods, until your daughter Is feeling better.

Thank you for the info...

 

I usually cook at home.  Our small town doesn't really offer many decent places to eat.  

The past few weeks have been a little difficult since we have been on vacation and this weekend we will be traveling out of town too.  Our cooler has been our bestfriend.  I usually cook at home, we don't have much to offer in our small town.  

Of course during our vacation I found an awesome restaurant that catered to people with celiac disease.  If anyone is ever in Arlington, TX go to J. R. Bentley's.  They made our vacation a whole lot easier.

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
