I'm not sure about them but I can tell you that anything with "mexican grill" in the title is not authentic mexican food and therefore they will most likely use a lot more flour. My advice is to go in to the location where you plan to eat during off hours when it's not very busy and ask for the manager. Explain to him/her that you can't eat wheat/rye/barley and ask if there's anything on the menu that you can eat. Make sure you ask not only about the tortillas, but also what goes on or into the meats, beans and rice. If you want something with a hard taco shell, ask if it's fried in a dedicated fryer.

Good luck, hope you can use the gift card. :-)

Very difficult. I think I ate something dry and bland after giving the manager the 3rd degree. I re-gift gift cards that I can't use.

I can only speak for my local Baja Fresh, but the managers and employees there have been very understanding and helpful.

I get a veggie burrito "bare style" (no tortilla). The corn chips at my location are fried in oil they use only for corn chips (there are some breaded fried options, and my understanding is that at some locations they might use the same fryer, so make sure you ask). They do have corn tortillas that you can have on the side, but there is a risk of cc if they heat them up on something they also use to heat up flour tortillas. They're pretty accommodating if you want to ask them to heat it up on its own pan. Some locations you can see inside the whole kitchen, so you could even watch to make sure they do.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
