Ruby Tuesdays

Just an FYI that I thought might be helpful to some here.

Recently, I was at my local Ruby Tuesdays, where I've always felt perfectly safe ordering off the gluten free menu. I simply mention to the waiter that I'm gluten free, and I've never had a problem there.

This time, shortly after ordering, the manager came over, introduced himself and told me that as of the first of the year (2015) Ruby Tuesday has stepped up their gluten free protocol nationwide.

They now have separate utensils and prep areas, and they not only clean a portion of the grill before our food is placed on it-- they use foil under our food. Gluten free orders are carried out from the kitchen separately to further avoid cross contamination.

It's so nice to hear of companies who really seem to care and I wanted to pass the word :)

Thanks for the info! We were actually thinking of maybe trying their gluten free menu. I'm happy to know they are moving in the right direction! And education is the key!

My daughter was working at Ruby Tuesdays before we moved here a few weeks ago. They we having ALL of the waitstaff, cooks, hostesses, and managers go through a training course about gluten free as well. It was a week long thing with a lot of video sessions and then someone came to talk to everyone from corporate.

I'm new to this Celiac disease and need all the education I can get. I hope there would be more restaurants that will start serving gluten free.

I only ate at Ruby Tuesdays just once and that was a few yrs.ago. I think it will be worth going back now that they serve gluten free food.

JerseyAngel:  Thank you for your comment regarding Ruby Tuesdays updated gluten-free protocol effective 1/2015. 

MycasMommy:  Your comments about Ruby Tuesdays training program are appreciated.

I've almost totally quit going to restaurants, so both of your recommendations give me hope!  

I became a member of Celiac.com when I was first diagnosed w/ Celiac Disease in 2005.  At the beginning I utilized it day and night, gleaning yarns of helpful information that eventually became written notes.  As I'd never heard of this disease prior to being diagnosed; the discovery of Celiac.com was a comforting find (something like a grandmother's warm hug)!  It was and still is my #1 resource for gluten-free information.  Because it's been quite awhile since I've been glutened; I haven't checked into the forum as often.  Which means, I'm sitting here in Celiac pain from something that has caught me aware and am racking my brain to what it could have been.  Good to see many new members w/ numerous updates!  I sincerely appreciate Celiac.com and all its' efforts.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
