Rubio's

Okay....for months now Rubio's Mexican Restaurant has told me their steak and chicken tacos with corn tortillas have no wheat/gluten/flour whatsoever and that I can have them.

I've been eating there periodically and have never gotten sick.

I went in this weekend and they have new allergy info. posted that says their steak and chicken contain wheat. I asked the manager (she knows me from all the questions I always ask) and she went back and looked at a box of steak. It said "wheat protein" or something to that effect.

Of course I stopped eating there immediately but my question is, why didn't I ever get sick? Is it that I am not sensitive enough to that small amount?

I'm confused

and bummed that I can't eat at Rubio's anymore. It's really shaken my confidence about restaurants in general.

Maybe their steak and chicken didn't contain wheat until recently.

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.

      Juice shots? Anti inflammatory

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I avoid turmeric now because I'm on low dose aspirin, but used to use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HYBN4DJ My recipes always vary according to what I have on hand, but my base is a frozen berry mix from Trader Joe's: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/fruits-greens-smoothie-blend-075603 In the warmer months I include herbs from my garden like Italian parsley and basil. I add almond milk as well.

      Thank you! This is very helpful. Quick followup: what is your recommendation re: gluten-free prepared foods (labeled gluten-free or certified gluten-free) during this time of being more strict about eating gluten-free? Is it necessary to eat only whole foods prepared at home, or is it safe to include prepared / packaged foods in her diet (I'm thinking particularly of snack foods)?

      Is blending same as cold press? Is there any juice recipe you tried that you feel helped like the ginger turmeric? Is there a brand turmeric powder you used etc? I used Aloe vera years ago but the taste is hard to get down. What are your go to juices you made?
