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...

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
