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.

Thanks for info. We are going to orlando in 3 weeks and I was wondering what restaurants might be safe. I looked and there are several chili's there. We rearely go out to eat so this is going to be such a treat for my son.

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.

      She used to take supplements, but her abdominal pain is so debilitating that she hasn't been able to continue.  Her primary care team has been suggesting liquid supplements rather than pill form to help.  They just drew a lot of blood Friday and we are slowly getting all that work back.  I will definitely check into thiamine!  Thanks!

      They have not done that yet.   We are looking at some other treatments to help. And you are correct.  The tickborne illness has been a wild ride.  Our whole family has been battling different tickborne illnesses.  Its expensive and exhausting.

      I cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin.  Here in the UK I take Paracetamol.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!
