Nope no avocado. Never got chipotle headache until very recently so something changed in the food. Don't know what but it can't be good. |

what nots? It's a burrito, ffs. Agreed it's not for neurotics who can't abide their food touching before it enters their stomach. |
Move your bowels. My granga always said most headaches are from not having regular poops. |
Second line has to be a joke, right? RIGHT?!? |
They must be using MSG, every single time I have eaten at Chipotle, I have gotten a headache! I am allergic to MSG, so this is the only reason, I could be getting headaches. |
Could be red pepper. I used to always have a coughing fit after eating there. |
Um, you have a poor understanding of causation. More likely that something has changed with you. Like getting older. |
I definitely get terrible headaches there too ![]() |
Try leaving out the tortilla!
I always used to get a headache after eating at Chipotle, until yesterday. My husband and I would always split a sofritas burrito, and even though I'd eat less than half I'd get a serious case of the itis. I'd have a horrible headache and feel exhausted. This week they ordered Chipotle for lunch at work, and it was a build-your-own sort of thing. I didn't see tortillas, so I just threw my normal ingredients in a bowl. Rice, sofritas, black beans, pico, cheese, corn, sour cream. When I ate the fillings without the tortilla, I had no headache! I was so surprised. I'll definitely try this again to see if I can identify a pattern with headaches and whether or not I eat the flour tortilla. My sister has a very severe gluten allergy (celiac disease), and she has told me that almost all of Chipotle's fillings are safe for her to eat. This really makes me wonder if I should go get tested too, since the symptoms of celiac disease aren't always gastrointestinal. |
I was at Chipotle last night and saw an employee preparing a new batch of rice. He poured some kind of white powder into it-- it looked like he was pouring a large amount of salt into it.
My co-worker's son just got a summer job at Chipotle. Perhaps he can be our undercover source. I'll investigate and report back! |
I too get headaches each time I eat there.I finally gave up trying to convince myself it was a coincidence or "headachy day". It's def the chicken rice bowls! I'm baffled! I suffered for 10 years until I discovered gluten gave me chronic migraines and muscle spasms. I can't figure out the other foods that cause me remaining sensitivity/headache but I'm trying. I find sunflower seeds or oil in many foods that still give me a headache. not sure if it's a coincidence. - But I checked the ingredients list from chipotle and what I eat at chipotle, they only use rice bran oil for these items. Thought it might be sour cream but tried a bowl without and still got the trademark chipotle headache. So frustrated because it's a one of a kind franchise - I love their sourcing of non-gmo, grass fed dairy source , move toward organic etc. I am going to go there and ask them to give me my food separated, so I can try each part individually(rice - beans-chicken -etc) and get to the culprit. I know it s weird but I must do it. I'll post whatever I might learn.
Here is a link to the ingredients page for anyone interested. https://chipotle.com/ingredient-statement |
No. And I have an MSG sensitivity. I do know that pre-mixed spices like adobo and Sazon use MSG but I don't know if Chipotle uses those. |
Every other time, some fool just overloads my order with sour cream and cheese, even though I say no. |
