So i have a work lunch this week at the new branch of Dos Caminos (NYC chain restaurant). I plan to stop by and talk to them about whether i can eat anything there but was wondering if anyone here has successfully eaten at one and has any good advice. I tend to stay away from Mexican restaurants because i find it difficult to order there, so any advice would be greatly appreciated! (either about the specific restaurant or mexican in general)

Thanks!

Hey honey!! I haven't eaten there, but I've heard they are very accomodating and know of other gluten free people that have had success at the one on Park.

I was looking at the menu for the new one the other day, and the enchiladas looked like they had potential.

Let me know how it goes.

It's funny you mention Dos Caminos! I am going with friends next friday! I had the same concern. Did you go? How was it?

Well, we ended up postponing until December 1 b/c everyone was so crazy this week, so that gives me a little more time. I havent had a chance yet to ask them about the menu but i work in the building so i really have no excuse! I will try to stop by this week and ask about the menu-- are you going this fri, as in the day after thanksgiving? I will try to get some info for you before then

Jillian, i was thinking the enchiladas had potential, but i always worry about mexican... i'm glad you have heard good things though. i'll let you guys know what they say!

I am going this Friday (the fri after thanksgiving) :) Whatever you can find out would be great! I am going with five non-gluten-free people so we are going regardless. I am also going to Rosa Mexicano on Dec 12th. I have never been so I am hoping there are things I can eat. I am going with 9 other people from work. The girl who invited me after the fact said "well there probably really isn't anything you can eat there but we are still going" and then gave me the option of backing out but made it seem like I would be the world's biggest kill-joy if I did. You would think people would be a little more understanding.

Oh I went to Rosa Mexicano!! I actually went as part of my bachleorette party. I was pretty newly diagnosed at that time and so it was little tough (one of my bridesmaids was really pissing me off because she kept bothering me about where I wanted to go, and at that time I'd only been diagnosed for a couple months. I kept telling her I didn't want to eat out, but she kept insisting. I figured that would be a fun place and I could find stuff). I don't remember what I got but fortunately one of my other friends that was with us has another friend that is celiac and she helped me. The food was really great and I had no problems.

I did go to Dos Caminos. The food was great. I had seafood ceviche and tuna crusted with avocado and iced cream for dessert. The waitress was extremely understanding and friendly and I had no problem at all. Sorry for the late reply, I was away this weekend and had jury duty all day. :(

Sorry i have been so mia - i've been insanely busy but we FINALLY went to dos caminos today - the food was great and the waiter was super helpful. All i had to say was the word gluten and she knew immediately what i needed to avoid and what i could eat. The food was great! Service was SLOOOOOOOOOW but otherwise it was a great experience!!

I went to Dos Caminos today (the one on 3rd Ave.) for my goodbye lunch today at work.

It was very good and the staff was really, really knowlegable about gluten. When we sat down, I told the waitress I was allergic to anything with wheat or flour and she said, "oh is it a gluten allergy?" I said yes and she told me what on the menu I could have and told me but if there was something else that I wanted they could probably modify it.

I had lobster tacos on corn tortillas. They were delicous!

I didn't eat the chips because they looked like they had definately been thrown in the fryer. I was going to ask but didn't bother.

I actually just had iced tea because I was there for a goodbye work lunch, so it wasn't really appropriate. (Ok that and we were having margaritas in the office at 4:00 for someone's birthday - lol)!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
