As I said.. just a guess!
I request a gluten-free meal when I can, which is not a common request, and some of the CSR haven't encountered it.
I usually request it as "gluten-free GFML", since, at least in the past, it was entered as "GFML", and this made it easier for the CSR. Meal codes, such as GFML, are used across airlines.
