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!

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
