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.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
