I emailed Portillo's restaurant after seeing on here that the beef was gluten free. We go there a lot with a club we are involved with and got this reply:

Dear Erin,

Thank you for your inquiry about ingredient information relating to gluten intolerance. We are aware of the various dietary restrictions many of our guests have, however, we do not have nutritional or ingredient information available at this time. While we do personally manufacture many of our products, we do not control the production of many items that are supplied by a variety of purveyors. We are also subject to substitutions which would vary our nutritional/ingredient information sometimes twice in the same week. Because we do not know the degree of severity of any food intolerances our guests may have, nor the consequences of any adverse reactions, we would be hesitant to advise that the prohibitive ingredient(s) are not present and that the person with the intolerance would be 100% free from ingesting any form of it. Thank You for the opportunity to explain.

Sincerely,

Kerry L. Martin

That's a bummer! I am going to Chicago next month and was looking forward to trying Portillo's. Guess I'll go back to Adobo Grill!

I had the beef in a cup in Dec. and had no ill effects. However, I am not super-sensitive.

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      Recently my daughter ate in nandos harlow I rang in advance to speak about the celiac protocals and learned that childs portion chicken nandinos is cooked on the same grill as garlic bread even if they are celiac! Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.
