Okay, I went to the basic Chevy's website and could not find any information about a gluten free menu. I did find that the company was sold to another one earlier this year.

I then used the power of the google to find 'gluten free Chevy's menus.' I found the OLD gluten free menu suggestions, which are basically for people who are not sensitive, saying for gluten free, off of our regular menu, don't order the marinated meats because the marinade had regular soy sauce, don't eat the chips fried with the other stuff, yadda yadda.

I then compared this menu (which I was familiar with, as I lived pretty close to a Chevy's when we lived in Sac, and we ate there a lot before I went gluten free, and some during the transition phase when I was trying to figure out how to eat gluten free, and noticing that Chevy's wasn't quite working out for me, so I stopped eating there, to what I saw on that webpage. And it looked about the same as I remembered from many years ago. Hmmm. This is not encouraging.

Then I read the actual press release here:

National Restaurant Chain Simplifies Gluten-Free Ordering During Celiac Awareness Month

Chevys Fresh Mex, a national border cantina-style Mexican restaurant chain, announces a new gluten-free menu with entrees and a la carte items that cater to guests with gluten-related disorders. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as many as one in 133 Americans have Celiac disease and gluten-related disorders continue to increase.

Okay, this shows that Chevy's is aware of the words Celiac Disease.. But is it gluten free, or cross contaminated ?

The restaurant chain created its gluten-free guidelines and menus with guidance from Healthy Dining, and instituted a company-wide training to inform team members of proper food handling and accommodations for gluten-free guests.

      My 5 months of Struggle

      Welcome to the forum, @Art Maltman! Ask your physician to order serum antibody tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. That's the place to start but you shouldn't be on a gluten free diet some weeks before the blood draw. You certainly have some symptoms that are characteristic of celiac disease and you have a first degree relative that has celiac disease. So, I think this would be an appropriate request to bring to your physician. Here is an article outlining the various serum antibody tests that can be ordered when checking for celiac disease:   The physician may not be open to ordering a full panel but push for at least these two: total IGA and tTG-IGA. By the way, absence of gut pain is very common in the celiac population. We call them "silent" celiacs as they have no or very minor symptoms. There are over 200 symptoms and spinoff health issues that have become associated with celiac disease and the range of symptoms and effects produced by the disease in different individuals various tremendously.

      About 5 Months ago I got a little bit sick and since then I have been having trouble focusing, rembering, thinking thought through, having pressure on my head and even just talking to friends normaly has become a challange. I also have been having yellowish poops. My father was has celiac but I am not sure if thats what is causeing my problems becasue I dont have any abdomnial pain like him. i have also tried going gluten free for a week with no results, but maybe i just need to try for longer. I have gone to doctors but they haven't had really any ideas as to whats wrong with me they just say it could be anything and try this drug maybe it will work. I really am tired of feeling terrible all the time and if any one knows if these symptoms are common to celiac or has any other ideas whats wrong with me please let me know.
