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.
