Thought I would post this. I just got it today. Eating out is always risky. Not sure I will bother going. I cannot imagine having mexican food without chips and warm tortias.

Thank you for contacting On The Border regarding suitable menu items for guests with dietary restrictions. At On The Border, our top priority is always the safety and health of our guests. As part of this ongoing commitment, and in order to help our guests make informed food selections concerning allergies or food sensitivities, we are providing you with the most current allergen menu information available from our food suppliers.

We have compiled a list of suggested menu options to use when making your meal selections at On The Border. The list is based on the most up-to-date ingredient statements available from our food suppliers and the stated absence of wheat, rye, oats and barley within these items. This list expires on a MONTHLY basis, so please be sure to contact us for an updated version. Additionally, on your next visit to On The Border, please be sure to speak with the manager about your dietary restrictions. The manager will ensure that proper attention is given to your dietary restrictions as your meal is being prepared. Please be aware, however, that with normal kitchen operations involving shared preparation and cooking areas, including common fry oil, there is a small possibility for food items to come into contact with trace amounts of gluten.

Should you have any additional concerns or inquiries regarding our menu items, please do not hesitate to ask. We hope that you are able to choose a meal to your liking and look forward to serving you soon.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
