Went to Chilli's for dinner and requested a gluten free menu -- to my surprise they have one and make specific recommendations for menu choices.

Wow!!! Thanks for letting us know. I knew that some people had e-mailed them and gotten responses about what was safe, but it's so much better when there is a menu on location. I feel that much safer.

It is a computer print out the waiter went and retrieved for me. Very understanding waiter, he even knew which items were gluten free and recommended a specific item before he went and obtained the menu. :D

I have had great luck so far at my local Chili's too......the manager was very helpful and our waitress too. I always get the chicken fajitas with a plain unmarinaded chicken (the marinade has soy sauce in it!!) and no fajitas obviously, ask for more lettuce and veggies and have done ok so far, 3 x's since October when I started this.

And the chips and plain salsa are ok too. And I just found out the baked potato soup is listed as gluten-free, which THRILLS me to no end......at least in Wisconsin it is.....

Well if you contact chilis yourself, they give you a list of things on the menu that would be safe for celiacs, and it changes every month, so im sure that the staff at chilis has access to it. Which is actaully great, cause if it changes every month they have access to the updated info! i still havent gone out to eat yet, but that was one of my fave places to eat, i miss it

I am not sure if he went on the website or if it was something readily available. I was at the Chilli's in Farmington, CT by the Westfarms Mall.

The manager at the Ormond Beach Chili's printed the menu off of their intranet website. I wasn't able to get it off the internet itself. They have been very helpful and understanding.

I was at the Chili's in Manchester, NH last weekend and they were great, the manager printed out the menu and stayed right on top of it. They weren't sure of the chips however, since they didn't use a dedicated fryer. But overall, they were awesome and I had no problems with a plain cheeseburger..

That's really good news -- another restaurant willing to help (especially in the midst of the whole McD's thing . . . ) -- my husband is going to be really happy about this!!!!

I haven't been to one that still carries the baked potato soup, lately, which really makes me sad because that does sound SO good.

Not to rub it in,

but the Baked Potato Soup is the "BOMB"...

I love it...

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Is this celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
