I was looking into going to this restaurant (as I LOVE mexican food). I did not see the gluten-free menu or mention of it online, so I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager. He seemed a bit confused and did not leave me feeling very safe about eating there. So I decided against going. I was hoping to hear from someone on this forum who may have gone and had a successful gluten-free meal! If you do not mind, can you tell me how you went about eating there? Did they have actual gluten-free menu's and did you talk to the manager or chef? What did you order? Sorry for all the questions! I would love to be able to eat Mexican out at a restaurant!

Thanks!!

yes, they have a gluten-free menu, you just need to ask for it..I always get the same thing, its grilled chicken strips with grilled onions and peppers, comes out sizzling..on another dish is homemade guacamole, beans, homemade mexican rice,sour cream, lettuce, tomatos.then in a small covered dish are 4 corn burritos :blink:

I can only eat about half, i bring the rest home..you can get it with beef too i think, but i can't eat red meat

the food is all homemade and awesome!!!!

last week a young boy sat us and when I asked for the gluten-free menu he was confused, hubby went up to the older man thats always there, think its the owner, he was great and gave me my menu

my hubby gets the pork burrito..i have never seen a burrtio that big and the pork is so tender, must be 1/4 of a roast in it!!

I have an ulcer and the food is mild, never bothers me..oh ya, I ask to have cheese melted on my sizzling chicken YUM!!!!

will probably go again this weekend

sorry it took me so long to reply, my aunt died, my moms loosing her sight and i'm busy taking her places, running back and forth to her house

anyway, enjoy your meal..don't eat breakfast lol

Thanks for the info! I am moving to Mansfield in the next couple of weeks so will not be far from there. I am excited to try this place!

Sorry to hear about your aunt and your mom's vision.

Maybe I will see you at Rancho's...I will know who is hogging the gluten-free menu if it is unavailable ;)

its only about 15 mins from me :D theres also an Italian resturant in the area that has a gluten-free menu, haven't been there yet and can't remember the name :( going to try and find it now

if your ever in the Franklin area, Pepper Terrace Thai food has gluten-free food too, they don't have a separate menu, the owner and chef, nicki, will tell you what is safe. we always get the house fried rice and the pad thai, very good!

heres the list of the italian restaurants in the area

My sister and I are doing a girls night and going into Providence over Labor Day weekend and are going to try the North End Cafe in North Providence. I called and spoke to the manager. He said to just come in and ask for the gluten-free menu. He also indicated that he is working on getting the menu on their website. The only places I have eaten since going gluten-free (2.5 years ago) have been Legals, Outback and PF Changs. So I am very much looking forward to Italian and Mexican! I of course am a bit apprehensive, as eating out is always risky (and I am SUPER sensitive). Thanks for the info on the Thai restaurant!

      Is this celiac?

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Is this celiac?

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
