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.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
