I went today for lunch, felt I was safe with the taco salad (didn't eat anywhere near the bowl) with chicken, it had tortilla strips on it that were obviously corn and jalapeno vinagrette dressing. I suspect either the tortilla chips or the dressing....because I'm again feeling bloated, crampy......already. Does anyone know anything about On The Border and their habits?

They do not have dedicated fryers for thier chips. That was most likely the culprit.

That could be it. Also, I was asking my dad (a celiac--dx'd for more than 10 years now) and he said he'd been glutened by tortilla strips from other restaurants. Apparently some tortilla strips for salads and such are a flour/corn blend. Who would do that to us!!!??! Oh well. Next time, I'm just eating the salad. No corn anything. I don't even like On the Border that much anyawy....

jabberwife,

i love on the border and i ate there the other day. they don't have dedicated fryers, so there could be cc and the waitress warned me about that. but they do have a gluten-free menu and when i ate there, i ordered the chicken fajitas or something with no sour cream and corn tortillas (which were obviously from the freezer). i enjoyed it. i didn't get sick, though...

sorry you did :(

My two sons and I who both have celiac disease also ate at On the Border yesterday. So far I haven't had any problems, the waiter brought us corn tortillas which were very good and we had fajitas.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update @Rejoicephd it is good to know that you may have some answers.  Keep up the good work with your diet, and do let us know if you do get a firm diagnosis.  I took so long to feel better and for my TTG levels to normalise,  but got there in the end, so also bear in mind it does take longer for some of us.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁

      Could this be a new intolerance

      By trents · Posted

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.

      Thanks so much for the responses. I will urge him to go for further investigation. To be 48yrs old and develop a new allergy.. ugh, As if celiac disease isn’t enough!

      This does not seem to be an anaphylactic response but I agree it would be wise to seek allergy-food sensitivity testing. You might look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing.
