Positive Experience At Pollo Tropical In Florida

Thia was my first time going to a Pollo Tropical, and everything in there was delicious and most especially, just about the entire menu was gluten-free!!!!! They only have Pollo Tropical's in Florida, which I think is a real shame, but it was still delicious. Anyone else ever been there?? I have a Mambo Combo grilled boneless chicken, with black beans and rice (though I didn't exactly eat the beans) and I had as a side french frys. They have nutritional and food allergies guide that lists the fodds that have common ingredient allergies in them and fries only have soy products in them, probably b/c their the only thing fryed in the fryer! Everything else is grilled!! I went to the one outside of Sawgrass Mills, and now I'm very happy b/c now here is another fast-food restaurant I can go to!!!!!!!!!!

There's quite a few in Florida, hold on... I'll give you the link to their location in Florida. The only thing you have to ask them is to not have a roll on you plate. It comes w/ almost every meal. I just took mine off the plate, but next time I'll request no roll.

:) Thanks for the info on Pollo Tropicale. I live close to the Sawgrass Mall, but I've never eaten there (since diagnosis.) I like their food, and it's great to have another option.

      I'm concerned about calcium.  I don't think I'm getting enough especially since I ended up having to get off dairy when I went gluten free.  However, if you have too much calcium, it can deposit in the wrong places and you can get thinks like bone spurs.  I'd like find a decent supplement for that.  Was thinking of looking into the algae based calcium supplements since they're more natural than some of the others available, but seem rather expensive.  When possible, I try supplement with food sources.  One or two Brazil nuts usually have the full RDA for selenium.  One Barbados cherry has the daily RDA for vitamin C.  I also use seaweed to help supplement iodine since I don't use iodized salt.

      Wanted to tell someone, I finally made an edible gluten free bread.  It took me several hours to make and it didn't taste like what I was trying to make, but it did taste like a bread.  Was looking all over for bread machine recipes and I ran across this one on the Internet:  https://www.snapcalorie.com/recipes/gluten_free_oat_challah_bread_machine.html  Used it as a starting point, but I swapped out the tapioca with arrowroot and the xanthan gum with guar gum and glucomannan.  I also made it using the gluten-free pizza mode on my Panasonic bread machine and then took the batter out and put it in a bread mold to give it some shape.  I let it rise another 20 minutes and baked it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes in the oven.

      The concept of "over-methylation" as a common clinical condition is not supported by mainstream medicine. While methylation is a crucial biochemical process, the idea that people frequently become "over-methylated" and that this is linked to B6 deficiency is a speculative theory, not an established fact.

      Oh cool! We have similar stories! I’m a microbiologist with an interest in metabolism. Been getting more and more fascinated by nutrition in recent years.    I will check out your blog . Thanks !

      Hi to all I am 4 years Celiac now. I have Ataxia too from gluten and it’s been a major learning curve and adjustment. But my query is about a recent set back. I was Glutened and started an OTC medicine to cope with a symptom. It stated it was free from gluten specifically. But in the following weeks I was getting more ill and couldn’t fathom what was wrong. I had gastritis which is awful and lots of other neuro and body symptoms that I get when Glutened. I always find it difficult to think straight too because of the brain fog and fatigue so this wasn’t helping me think logically. And then the lightbulb moment of the medication. I emailed the company in my gluten haze (by this time the symptoms were awful and reminded me of my pre gluten free days) and they responded saying although it states ‘this product does not contain gluten’ they could not guarantee it didn’t have gluten in it from manufacturing processes etc etc. I stopped it just over 2 weeks ago. I had been taking it for 6 weeks. So in the last few weeks I have started to improve from being bedridden with fatigue and aches/pains,  gastritis, abdominal pain and GI problems, brain fog, mental health symptoms, pins and needles, migraines and much more to just about functioning. I feel I have done so much damage to my body and it’s such a set back. But my question is has anyone else had a major episode like this and how long did it take to recover? I still have symptoms now and it’s been over 2 weeks. I’m afraid I have made my Ataxia worse and the panic attacks and anxiety are through the roof. I’d forgotten what that was like. But any thoughts or experiences would help. Thank you.
