HI

Hope you got the thread to come up.

Thanks ChelsE for posting it. I was at the dr's and just got on line.

Think the thread answers most questions but email or pm me if you want more info. I think the main rrobin.com web site is there too. the home page shows all the states and locations

The link did work for me, thanks. It's great when people share there good experiences as well as bad, so we can know where to go. The list you posted from the e-mail will help me a lot to pick what is safe. So, do I understand correctly that their fries are safe, if in a dedicated fryer, and what bothered your stomach was the soy in the oil?

Hi

Don't be miss lead by 'the dedicated fryer..' My manager said they did not have one...fry all in the same one.

What he did for me when i came in the door and the hostess showed him my card even before someone else seated us was...put on a clean pot and put oil in it 'JUST FOR MY POTATOES' After calling him back after 'mytummyhurt'(?)what a great name..... :lol: he ck'd the oil can and it was pure veg oil with soy.

He is going to try to get another pure veg oil without soy in it.

Make sure the manager KNOWS your special issues..maybe some do have dedicated fryers. mine did not.

then if a good experience...eamil and they will send a free $1.00 c/o in the mail...

best of luck.

judy let me know how you do.

i'll be off line after Thurs nite till 3/14.

I would say that you would need to check with each location to verify the dedicated fryer issue. Our local Red Robin has a dedicated fryer. We were told to ask for the steak fries with "no seasonings" though. I think the seasonings are sprinkled on after they are fried.

I was very pleased with our local Red Robin. My oldest son was one of the top ten sellers at the fall fundraiser for his school and the prize for these ten was a ride in a limo to Red Robin and free lunch. I sent him with a letter explaining his dietary needs and a list of the safe foods he could order and how to prepare them. He got a bunless burger and steak fries, a milk shake and I think he said he got fruit with it. He enjoyed his lunch and I didn't feel like I had to be there to watch over him every second.

We enjoy having a fun place to eat. The only other places we used to go locally were Denny's and McD's. We only get breakfast foods at Denny's and now I am hesitant about McD's. :unsure: So Red Robin is a nice place for us to go and get lunch or dinner food without leaving town.

We just got back, I had a pretty good experience. They didn't have a dedicated fryer, so I didn't get to eat the fries. Gf4life-Is their seasoning not okay? I thought it was. The girl did pretty good, the manager didn't come see me though, that's okay I guess. I just got a lettuce wrapped burger, it was good. I just like being able to go out to eat with everyone else.

So glad to hear of 2 other good experiences. i read the inged on the seasonings on the table and not sure what was in it but knew i couldn't have it..maybe the soy..see how indiv it becomes...

Next time call ahead and tell them about what time your coming..(we go off peek times) if possible and ask it they will 'go to the extra effort to do the ff in a separate pot...like Exton does :lol:

glad you ventured out.

congrats to your son, tummy

I don't know about the seasoning for the fries, other than there was something questionable in them and Red Robin said not to use it...it might be okay, but you would need to check.

I will double check on the fryer next time we eat there. I did ask, but did not speak to the manager. I didn't actually go into the kitchen to check either, but I do know that no one at my house felt sick and neither did the other gluten-free people we went with and 4 out of 6 of us are quite sensitive to gluten, even the tiniest amount.

Glad you got to eat out.

Thanks for the note

The Manager Dave Howk called me again last nite to tell me they have researched the oil they will use for me and it will be canola oil. He said the other veg oils have soy. I'm learning alot from him too. He said that they did have a dedicated fryer at his Red Robin but did mine by special order prepared alone...

He's just so great. Even called some CA restarants to find out what oil they used and other questions..

FOR ME --it's safer not to use the veg oil they used in dedicated frier (I think i have that right).

SO GLAD YOU HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE TOO.

Going to forward this thread to Dave at my Exton resturant.

I went to a Red Robin in Lincolnshire IL and the waitress went ABOVE and BEYOND to get me a list of gluten-free stuff. When she served the food, she stayed to make sure it was the way I wanted it. THEN the manager came by to make sure the food was prepared properly for me. I had not reaction. I had a great customer service experience.

I ordered a burger with out the bun, guacamole, no seasoning on the fries or burger because it had a warning about producing a natural glutamin... in the body.

      Awaiting Biopsy results

      I have had my endoscopy this morning with biopsies. My consultant said that it looked like I did have coeliac disease from what he could see. I now have to wait 3 weeks for the biopsy results. Do I continue eating gluten till my follow appointment in three weeks.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area. I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain. That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral. It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes, see an ophthalmologist. They have...

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (

It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral.  It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      celiac disease and braces

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.
