If you contact them they will give you a list. It is supposedly updated monthly with gluten-free products. With that said........I contacted them, got the list, told the manager about my diet etc etc.....and still got TERRIBLY sick eating with them. I won't ever go back there. So be very careful.

Anyone know if we can eat anything at On the Border?

When visiting my in-laws, a large group of us went there specifically because they had a gluten-free menu. My 12-year old son is the one with Celiac.

The gluten-free menu suggested that he eat nothing fried - no tacos, no chips, etc. He does not like chicken, so about the only thing he cared to try was fajitas. They were served with cold corn tortillas (they would not warm them because of CC concerns). He ate a few pieces of meat and that was it.

We won't bother returning.

They do have a gluten free menu they update monthly. when you go in you can ask for it. The

manager came a talked to us. Any thing that is fried (including the corn tortilla shells they bring out with salsa at the beginning). I noticed on the gluten-free menu it stated the kids chicken meal, so I asked the manager if i could order that. I had a plain chicken breast (you can order a dressing to dip it in if you want) and you can get 2 sides I got spanish rice and veges. It was good and cheap.

I actually had a very good experience there. The chef/head cook came out and talked to me and suggested a steak (not sure how that's listed on their menu) along with mashed potatoes and grilled veggies. When I told him about my concerns with CC and mashed potatoes, he said that they make them fresh each morning and then portion them individually in plastic bags until serving time. He also made my food himself (cleaned the grill first) and actually delivered it to my table wearing this big white glove...we all laughed and said he looked like he was in a hazmat suit :). It was tasty and I didn't get sick, which is always a plus!

This was in Cary, NC. I was well taken care of and will return.

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

      I think you may be correct. The way the results are printed makes it appear as though it’s the ttg iga but I think you’re right—the 646 is total iga. So this would be indicative of another issue (another autoimmune condition, infection, cancer, etc.) and my doctor would need to do further testing. Thank you for saying this!

      Are you sure that is the TTG IgA? Based on the units (mg/dL) and having an upper limit to the normal range, it looks like a total IgA result.

      Vegetarians and vegans with celiac disease

      I am wondering if there are any vegetarians or vegans on this forum. I’ve been vegan for 15+ years and am just finding out I likely have celiac disease (blood panel done, need biopsy). My favorite foods—outside of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds—I will likely have to give up. Anyone else?

      Fiber Supplement

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their...

      Fiber Supplement

      I was taking Benefiber for my IBS-C before my celiac diagnosis. It does say Gluten Free but lists Wheat Dextrin on the label. I really dont like psyllium fiber, so is there anything else I can take or is the Benefiber really ok for someone with Celiac disease? Thanks!!!

This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.
