Just an f.y.i.

On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina has a variety of allergy "free" menu options; they have one just for Wheat/Gluten......

Just ask for the manager, or tell your server what you need...they will get it for you! This menu option is updated to give us the most current items.

A yummy option for us "glutened-impaired"!! ( I get the beef fajitas with the grilled faj. veggies YUMMY!)

Eat Well...Be Happy :P

Please be very careful though. I ordered off the gluten free menu when at On the Border last week and did get glutened. It said on the menu when ordering the fajitas to request no onion (many chain restaurants will use vegetables that already come seasoned etc.) so I did this. Well my fajitas came out with the onions. I told the food runner that the menu said I couldn't have the onions. They took it away and brought me a new one in about 3 minutes. It hit me before I could even get home, nasty cramps and gas. So I don't know if it was a cross contamination issue or if the cook just simply pulled off the onions and gave me the same plate :huh:

From the other threads I have seen here, it looks like we are taking a "risk" anytime we go out to eat. If we want more places to pick & choose from; that is something that can happen. You can get croutons on your Outback salad, CC at Red Robins, or all out glunted at Changs or Pei Wei's.

Before I was DX I always ordered my beef faj. w/o onions, just because I don't like them...most of the time that's how I got them.

Sorry that happened to you :( , just don't not go again because it happened once, and ask for a manager to make sure your order is right if you have to. They don't want something "bad" to happen...

The menu is specific on what we "can't" have with what we order, which is helpful (at least I think) and at least here, they seem to respond to specific needs.

Good luck!

      I have been looking for brands that are ready to make areas of time as I normally hear my oatmeal 1 min in microwave every morning. It appears buckwheat requires allot of cleaning soaking longer cook times. Any eat recipes have you tried. Also what's the reason if adding lemon juice to groats? Thanks

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, If I were you I would give up the bread tossing until everything is under control for a few months straight. Then try doing it again and see if symptoms return. If you just can't give it up, try wearing a good mask, tie your hair up tight, and take other steps to reduce the possibility of crumbs sticking to you and eventually ending up in your food. Attached below is a link to a nice graphic on what 10 mg would look like and I think it would be possible to ingest enough crumbs through the air. Also keep in mind that some people are reacting even at 10 mg per day. (They describe it as 1/350th of a slice of bread.) https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/understanding-gluten-levels/

      What brand do you recommend? Thanks

      I love buckwheat groats (or kasha). I also like to add peanut butter to it. There are a bunch of these alternatives but I also recommend amaranth. It's good with fruit and/or cinnamon.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, if you had trouble breathing, I agree with Scott. That sounds like anaphylaxis.
