Thank you for sharing. I'm sure this will be helpful for many while eating out or traveling.

Hey!

I'm glad you got a list. I e-mailed them a few months agao and they gave me a 'careful' response of: due to cross-contamination...we can't give you a list... blah-blah.

So, glad to see something a little more informative.

Thanks for posting!

Bascially Chili's got so many calls about gluten-free items that they decided to look into it. This came out a couple of months ago.

I am confused about the salsa situation. Why is salsa a no-no at so many placed (chilis, wendys etc) anyone know?

My guess is this is based on the outdated paranoia over distilled vinegar, at least in the ones that use vinegar.

Also, I noticed that Fajita's were not on the list but I ate a steak fajita last week, with guac and lettuce, no milk products and w/o the wraps and had NO problems.

Also, for those of us with corn intollerance too, they appear to be the only chain resturant (so far) that makes margaritas w/o corn syrup (their presidente-sp).

This is great, we love Chili's, but is anyone concerned about how these foods are prepared? I always worry that they are cooked on the same grill where a hamburger bun was just toasted, or the like.

If I'm being overly paranoid, please say so. Being somewhat new to this, I seem to be eliminating eating out instead of going for it. Anyone have guidelines for eating out?

Kate,

Maybe Chili's is different but every other place I've ever been to fajitas are without exception made with flour tortillas, not corn. I think you'd better double check that.

No, this is the same, I just don't use the tortillias - I eat just the meat and veggies with the toppings on the dedicated skillet. I do NOT use the tortillias, even if they bring them, I have them take them away.

i would think of everything on there the soup would present like no risk of cross contamination risk right??

My only guess on the fajitas is that they may have gluten in whatever they are marinated in. My cousin makes fajitas that (pre-diagnosis) used to make me really sick - they are marinated in soy sauce. Maybe contact them and see if the marinade is safe -otherwise what a great dinner that would be (you could even bring corn tortillas)

Thanks for the list. I took it to my local Chilis and spoke with the manager who was very knowledgable due to a family member being a celiac. We agreed that all of the items on the list would be safe EXCEPT for the Fries (not dedicated fryer), Baked Potato soup, and Citrus Fire Chicken and Shrimp.

They apparently orders several different cuts of chicken and the "random" chicken is the only one that is safe for celiacs. The other chicken comes in some kind of a broth/seasoning.

You may want to check this information with your local Chili's.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in.

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
