Chipotles

What do you guys order and what precautions do you take to not get gluttened. I find I get gluttened here like 50% of the time. I still continue to eat here, because I love it. I go two weeks and I don't eat there, but get bored of eating at home all the time and try it again. Are the chips risky or the salsa? I always get the Vege burrito bowl and chips with medium salsa. I absolutely love this place, since I am also vegetarian. My kids enjoy it too.

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong??

Most of the time the gluttening isn't bad, but I got gluttened pretty good last time.

Open Original Shared Link click on FAQ, then on "useful" then on "next" until you get to gluten/celiac. it gives useful info. (sorry, it wouldn't let me copy the actual page)...

I don't eat at Chipotle often, as there isn't one very close to me, but when I travel I love to have their burrito bols. I always explain that I'm "deathly allergic to wheat" and ask the person to change gloves and have them walk mine all the way down (so only one person has to change gloves) and haven't had a problem.

they dip into the cheese and lettuce w/ their gloved hands that they just rolled a big burrito w/...so maybe skip those 2 items (i take them home and add that later)

I have seen them use the spoon for rice and wipe it all over the burrito shells made from wheat and then put it in the rice again. I think this could be a problem. I haven't had any luck with anyone being helpful with changing gloves. THey either don't understand or pretend not to understand what I am even asking them. It is always SO busy, it is overwhelming just ordering there. I love the food though. I am on a break from eating out anywhere for awhile, but thanks for your help.

i feel like it's almost impossible to eat gluten-free there. the salsas all get contaminated cos the same spoon that goes into them goes onto a wheat flour tortilla. i would imagine even if they change their gloves, if it's something a spoon has been dipped into, it's not ok. sometimes i get the chips though, if you get them take away they are already in a separate bag. i just moved to maryland and there's actually one below my apartment but i'm too scared of cc to eat more than the chips :(

I hate to be a downer, but I just read the website (I won a gift card for that place),

and it said there are major issues with cross contamination and they recommend celiacs don't eat their food.

I have eaten there once and did not get sick. However, I think I just got lucky. I think there is a huge issue with cc with the rice and beans. I was also told by the manager at the one I ate at not to eat the chips because the fryer was not dedicated. I had a bowl with rice, beans and beef. No lettuce, cheese or salsas because of the concern of cc.

I order the burrito bol with chicken or steak and a side of chips and I skip the lettuce and cheese like linz7997 suggests, but I've still sometimes had cross contamination. The person at the front of the line handles the flour tortillas and the bowls with the same gloves so this is another place for cc. My suggestion would be to try to avoid the busy hours and alert the manager that you need the staff to be careful.

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.
