"This may come as a surprise but it’s true. The flour tortillas for this new dessert item are going to be made in the same fryer as the Chipotle chips..."

Thanks for giving us the heads up. My gluten and corn issues make this place a land mine for me , I have not eaten in there in years. This is great info for others to know for it was at one time one of a few potential options (with the burrito bowl option ) in the fast food world someone could watch them make your food upfront.

I contacted Chipotle after I saw the post about the upcoming new dessert.  This is Chipotle's reply:

Susan,

Thanks for reaching out to us about this very important issue. We are very, very aware of the gluten issue and what is happening right now is a test in one restaurant in which the wheat tortilla chips are being cooked in a fryer outside of the restaurant, specifically to minimize the impact of cross-contamination. We recognize that, while we are not a "gluten free" establishment (our tortillas have wheat in them), we have a very loyal following among those who strive to avoid gluten. We won't do anything to jeopardize that and, even as we are testing this exciting new dessert, we have this issue top of mind, and are taking and will take appropriate and reasonable steps, such as cooking the chips offsite, and having procedures in place to minimize any risk of cross-contamination.

Thanks for your passion and interest. We will get this right.

Sincerely,
Taylor

Customer Service Coordinator
Chipotle Mexican Grill


Original Comment:
I just read the news about a possible new dessert coming on the menu at Chipotle which would involve frying a floured product in your oil. I, along with tens of thousands of other celiacs and gluten sensitive people, have enjoyed your tortilla chips for years now because they were gluten free. If this new desert is indeed true, all of us would be deprived of enjoying your tortilla chips and guacamole. Could you clarify if this is going to happen? I eat at Chipotle twice a week and I am so disheartened. 
Thank you.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing this! Have you started taking the Amneal? I'm curious how it's going for you. My pharmacy gave me the option of Accord, Macleod or Amneal. I didn't realize that Amneal was formerly Lannett, or I might have chosen that one. However, I did read some anecdotal reports that some people had side effects with Amneal, so I chose Accord. I have been taking it for 3-4 weeks and the past 10 days I have developed extreme fatigue/sluggishness, joint pain and some brain fog. I don't know if it is the new levo med, but nothing else has changed. Has anyone else taken Accord levo? Any issues? It seems to fall into the "no gluten ingredients, but we can't guarantee 100%, but it's likely safe category." I'm wondering if it is worth switching to Amneal or at least getting my thyroid levels checked. If the med is causing my symptoms, I'm guessing it's not because of gluten but maybe the potency is different from Mylan and I need different dosing. Accord was recalled for lower potency, but my pharmacist said the pills I have were not part of that lot.

      In 70-year-olds, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) levels are significantly lower than in young adults, typically around 20% of youthful levels, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov). This decline is a natural part of aging, with DHEA production decreasing from its peak in the third decade of life. While some studies suggest potential benefits of DHEA replacement in older adults, particularly in women, results are not consistently positive across all studies.

      Welcome @bold-95.   That's a tough situation.   Understanding DHEA Deficiency in Menopausal Women A major cause of hypothyroid is iodine deficiency.  In the 60's bread had 90 mcg, milk 100 mcg per cup and we used iodized table salt.  A sandwich and glass of milk supplied 300 mcg,  Now in the US bread does not use iodine as dough condition, milk has a bad name and table salt is avoided.  Net reduction from 1970 to 1984 of 50% of iodine intake.   Urinary iodine levels (mg/dL) in the United States, 6-74 years of age NHANES I, 1971-74 Median 32.00 2NHANES III, 1988-91 Median 14.5 NHANES 2000 Median 16.1 There has been a trend for increased prescribing of levothyroxine (LT4) in the United States.  LT4 was the tenth and seventh most commonly prescribed drug based on the number of prescriptions in 2005 and 2006, respectively. From 2008 to 2011 the number of LT4 prescriptions rose from 99 million to 105 million, with LT4 being the second most prescribed medication.1 From 2012 to 2016 the number of annual LT4 prescriptions increased steadily from 112 million to 123 million, with LT4 being the most prescribed medication.2,3 During 2017 and 2018 LT4 was the third most prescribed medication, with 98 million Levothyroxine prescriptions trends may indicate a downtrend in prescribing. DHEA and hypothyroidism are linked, with some evidence suggesting that low DHEA levels may be associated with hypothyroidism.
