I recently contacted Baja Fresh and they confirmed the recipes changed about 2 years ago, and that the rice is deep fried in the same fryer used for breaded items. I am guessing the changes occurred not long after the new CEO came in. I looked online several times on and off over the past year or so to find out if it was gluten free, and clearly I was only...

I've been eating at Baja fresh for years. When I thought I had Celiac disease I stopped eating out altogether. A couple years back after looking at Baja fresh his website I was pleased to find out I could eat there except for the obvious cross contamination issues or obvious menu choices (flour tortillas, breaded fish ). Anyway I don't need to give detailed...

Oops I accidentally didn't post a reply, still haven't learned to navigate this site well. Anyway. I will ACTUALLY reply to your post now. I Heard, not exactly sure from how many people but certainly many, that if you have a wheat allergy you likely have a dairy sensitivity or allergy and eliminating dairy was my first step and I felt better fairly...

After dealing with a General practitioner who admittedly didn't know much about celiac disease I found my way to a pretty compassionate gastroenterologist who I thought had a pretty good grasp on celiac. However on my last visit when I told him how I INTENTIONALLY glutened myself he asked what occurred after. When I told him I threw up he said (if I remember...

While watching a documentary about corn I thought "hey, are there any documentaries about celiac disease and or gluten free lifestyles?". I googled and found a website that had a documentary called "Generation Gluten Free" which is not currently available on netflix so I decided to call and ask netflix if they could add that or ANY gluten free/celiac disease...

I concur with why label...but I think celiac is probably certain, but I am no doctor. As others stated it is not really worth inviting gluten back into your diet to be able to get a positive blood test. I am celiac, also cannot tolerate dairy derivatives, my father is the same and like you he cannot do soy either. I have felt your pain, literally, and...

Thanks for your understanding and response. I hope all goes well with you. I am grateful and aware that the awareness of celiac and or gluten intolerance has increased tremendously in the past few years. Most grocery chains are doing their best to make gluten free choices available to consumers. If it turns out that the stores where you move have limited...

Thanks Raven. Oh do the responders get notified of your reply? The anger comes and goes. The frustration is more about the other food intolerance's I have than the gluten...adding milk proteins and most raw veggies to the mix limits the choices tremendously. I have never wanted a salad so badly in my LIFE...I just don't want to play the price. Alas...

I have found one of the hardest parts in dealing with people who are unaware of celiac is expressing that you will take care of your own food needs in an effort to be certain you remain GLUTEN FREE. I have celiac and I also have sensitivities to many other foods. As such my food choices are extremely limited. I have tried telling people "I have celiac...

This site is fantastic! It's rough having to think about every meal, snack, possible thing you will ingest especially when planning for trips. OH...NUTS are a great easy snack! I am not sure how long you have been diagnosed, but it does get easier. You will find snacks that work, they may not seem yummy (or even appetizing) but they will fill the hunger...

Still learning how to respond on here. I am not sure if it is best to keep original response about the post and reply. I deleted the body of one and now my response doesn't really fit. Do people see that I replied to their response? Just wondering.

Noni, Thanks! I know, RIGHT! GRRRRRR SOMETIMES! It isn't easy, I haven't heard that from people yet, but when you try to explain to people that you can't have WHATEVER it becomes annoying. I have tried to take my Dads' approach which is to say "no thank you" if anyone offers you anything to eat. He also definitively states that he will take care of your...

I totally understand that it is in fact TRUE no one CAN understand until they have gone through it themselves because as a bakery manager I had people ask me about gluten free items and while I explained the logistics I never really understood how much just a LITTLE exposure to gluten could affect someone.Certainly I was compassionate and aware but it's not...
