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.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      I don't think we can say that just one thing, whether vitamin D deficiency or emotional trauma, or a viral infection, or what ever is always what triggers the onset of celiac disease. We do know there is a genetic component to it and there is increasing evidence that factors creating gut dysbiosis (such as overuse of antibiotics and preservatives and environmental toxins) are major players. Hybridizing of heirloom wheat strains to increase the gluten content by multiples may also be a factor.

      Thanks for the follow-up correction. Yes, so not 10x normal and the biopsy is therefore totally appropriate to rule out a false positive or the unlikely but still possible situation of the elevated lab test number being caused by something besides celiac disease.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thanks. I believe I can trace my gluten and milk allergies to specific traumas in my life. I've had some quite severe traumas over my lifetime. Mostly in my history I was so out of sorts surviving that diagnosing gluten sensitivity/allergy/celiac was just not on the table for such a survival mode existence. Vitamin D makes sense too. Now I take very good care of myself, I have a rock solid stability and I do take 1,500 IU of D daily. It's more obvious to me now what's causing problems and so most of the time I only eat protein and vegetables. I cheat sometimes. I end up paying for it though.

      Thanks everyone for replying. Actually made a mistake when stating the lab range for results, should have been 0.0-7.0 not 0.7 u/ml. She was 19 u/ml. I’m afraid science bamboozles me especially trying to understand all the IgA’s and other bits!!!!Regular blood results like full blood count etc not so much!!!!

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By John767 · Posted

      DiGiornos gluten free pizza at one point was  made from a dough derived of wheat starch...yet they were able to call it gluten free probably because it came in at under 20ppm for gluten.  Apparently the recipe was changed and the pizza not longer contains a wheat starch derived crust.  As for the Heinz dressing, it could be an issue with cross contamination with wheat barley and or rye somewhere during the production process.  If you read how Frito-Lays (on their website) designates items gluten free, you will understand the variances in the lengths companies go through in deciding when to put on a gluten free label and when not--Frito-Lays is pretty solid.  Also being in Canada, they may follow a common international rule of less than 20ppm of gluten is all that is required to be labeled gluten free regardless of the grains used to manufacture the product (common in Europe, Central, and South America)...it took a couple of really rough mornings after consuming some Dura Damm (labeled as gluten free outside the USA) for me to realize that it was a gluten reduced beer. Same with Mahou Beer which actually says in Spanish "suitable for celiacs", unfortunately it is not suitable for this celiac and of course the following day was really rough as well...really take the time to read the ingredients because had I read the ingredients of  Mahou's "suitable for celiacs" "sin gluten" beer I would have noticed that it was made from cabada (Spanish for barley)...hope this helps...
