[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had celiac for years. Mexican is often reliably gluten free - make sure corn tortillas and don't order anything fried. Most fryers are mixed so stay away from french fries unless at Chick Fil A - their fries are GF and I've never gotten sick. They also will do a grilled chx breast and a GF bun. Tell the cashier its an allergy.

PF Changs is awesome. They have a whole separate line for GF items and an extensive GF menu. Don't trust GF pizza as they make it in the same oven as the regular pizza and often don't change the pizza cutters. However, if you have a Mellow Mushroom nearby, they have good GF pizza and they do separate everything.

Smash burger is prob. ok as long as she brings a GF bun. Let them know to clean the grill and cook hers separately. As for buns, easy to find ones are Rudy's and Udi's. Keep frozen, microwave for 30-40 seconds then lightly toast them. Rudy's are not pre-split (though they look like they are). If she does like fries, she should ask if they are cooked in a mixed fryer with breaded items. The gluten load in a mixed fryer is high, that makes me sicker than anything.

I'm not sure why cross-contamination is not an issue, what I've recommended is trying to keep safe from that. At least with celiac even a crumb or a contaminated pizza cutter will cause an inflammatory response.

Pasta when out can be tricky. A lot of places do offer GF pasta, just make sure they cook it fresh in clean water. First, GF pasta does not last. It turns gross fast. Second, if they warm it up, they likely will dunk it in the same boiling water they use to reheat the regular pasta.

It’s not uncommon for Mexican restaurants to use soy sauce in their meat marinades. Always ask. [/quote]
