Ssomeone just posted a long list of restaurants that lists their gluten free food. It was there a few days ago

Try searching for "Restaurant Guide"....I think that may be close.

Hi Betty,

We just got one here too. I asked the server and she was very understanding. She left the table and came back with a couple suggestions. I'll eat anything so I just said yes to the first thing that came out of her mouth..heheheh.

I go there for there margaritas anyway :D

Maybe you could give them a call (during slow hours would be better). They did just open so the servers might not have as much knowledge. Managers are suppose to know all about it. Most of those chains have a book they can bring to your table that lists all food and the allergens they contain. They coudn't find it when I was there. (Probably never had to use it before I came along)

I went there last week and it was great! I went to the host and asked him for a gluten-free menu. He went to print one off and brought it to me. I got grilled shrimp and chicken. It was really good!

I always get the Old Timer Burger (no Bun) with Mashed potatoes and a bowl of Baked Potato Soup

The Corporate office told me all of those items are gluten-free...

There is no baked potato soup in MN! I was so sad! It was on the menu and I tried to order it and they said they don't have it! Boohoo!

Here are some Chili's selections from the Clan Thompson Smartlist:

Bacon or Old Timer burger without the bun

Baked Potato soup

Citrus Fire Chicken and Shrimp - order without seasoning on the shrimp

Flamed Grilled Rib-eye, classic sirloin, or NY strip - order "dry-grilled" without garlic toast, savory steak butter, and herb au jus.

Guiltless grill salmon

Most of the burgers without the buns - no Fajita onions, blue cheese dressing, blossom strings

They say the menu changes monthly, so ask the servers to be sure.

Also, if you have dairy problems, have them make sure to wash the skillet (I have them make mine in a skillet and not on the grill) because they are "soaked in butter" - I have no problems eating there, I just make sure to go when they are not packed. The staff are incredible.

I don't have it. But I got the citrus fire chicken and shrimp and it was so good!!! I also got 2 sides with it! It was a HUGE meal! IT is all listed on their menu. I don't eat red meat or pork and what I got was my only option, besides the very limited salads.

It was not spicy at all. It had lime on it.

Soaked in butter is what the chef at my local Chilis said about their skillets. So I always ask my server (who actually remembers my order so I only confirm now) that they clean the skillet first, NO BUTTER. Of course, because I cannot have vegetible oil, that limits me to a burger but it is nice to eat out occasionally. I order that and a salad with no dressing, no croutons, no cheese and use the guac. for my dressing and on my burger.

Here in Tennessee, I order the fajita nachos with chicken or beef. They are no longer on the menu but they will still make them for me.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil. Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."

A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1
