Nando's rubs

[Smilewiper91]

Does anyone else use these and get a reaction despite them being gluten free? I haven't taken dieting serious if honest and end up eating gluten then regretting it. One thing that made it hard for me was being lazy and not like plain meats. Having found these nandos rubs I thought I had found the answer. I grilled the chicken today having used the nandos rub and whilst no where near as bad, I am still farting. I also felt slightly bloat again not as bad but is frustrating. Anyone else has similar with these rubs? Or should I expect bloating and farting to continue for a while as my body gets used to the change?

The only other food I ate was some microwave vegetables from the bag. I have since gone out and brought fresh though as I have read there may be a chance of those containing gluten as they may use the same belt when packaging.

Honestly is so frustrating, I would just love to know what i am going to eat isn't going to cause any problems.

Hi, 

Hmm..Nando's peri salt has gluten, so assuming the rubs are gluten-free, did you use any of that? There is a mistake in their nutritional guide, so might be other items incorrectly labeled as well. 

I got this response from Nando's (in US):

"Thanks for reaching out to us, and we're sorry to see our nutritional guide did not include the peri salt on the fries! That is where the gluten can be found on that that item, so if you want fries again you just need to request them with no salt.

I'll speak with our Food Manager who helps create those guides and make sure we get this on her radar for re-printing. It's concerning to hear that you did not feel well and we need to make sure this doesn't happen to any other guests."

In any case, I find that after eating gluten, I will first have fatigue for a day or two, and the stomach issues only kick in on day 2 or 3...

Best,

Juha

Hi,

 

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I wasn't talking about eating at a nando's this is one of the products they sell here in the UK as a rub to use at home. Not sure if we can post links? If you Google nandos seasoning rub on Google it should come up. Really does add flavour to chicken and made me feel it wouldn't be so hard to eat chicken as plain chicken is so boring. Was happy as it states on the packet its gluten free as well as that it says this,

Suitable for Vegans

Suitable for Vegetarians

Free From Artificial Colours

Free From Artificial Flavours

Free From Artificial Preservatives

 

I e-mailed them in regards to the rubs and asked specifically if they are safe for us with celiac just to be sure and they got back to me saying they was.
