Olive Garden

My husband likes the Olive Garden for their pasta varieties, but why can't they have a few gluten free pasta choices for those of us who are gluten intolerant, have celiac's, etc.? There are so many great rice pastas, it would be nice if they would broaden their gluten free menu a little bit.

I have had the mixed grill and the salmon from the gluten free menu with no problems. I ordered the penne pasta dish and did not like it at all. The sauce was watery and the pasta was not cooked thoroughly but that might well have just been at this particular restaurant.

Sometime when I have the extra money I'll order one of the steaks. :)

My bff is a mgr for OG and I've found it to be safe. She told me that the pasta dish they had was terrible. She said it's like a TV dinner. I was fine with the salad without croutons but I don't think my sensitivity is as harsh as some people. She also said that the end of this month, they're rolling out a new gluten-free menu that has more pasta choices that are better and safely prepared. It's kind of nice for me cause I feel 100% safe there!

      Lactose intolerance is not necessarily to problem in the celiac community. Intolerance to the dairy protein casein can be the culprit as it is similar enough to gluten to cause cross reactivity in a fairly significant element of the celiac population. Oats and dairy are common cross reactors in the celiac community. Eggs, corn and soy are also common cross reactors but oats and dairy are the two big ones.

      Thought I'd leave you the references: Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ "The early symptoms of TD are non-specific and may be easily attributed to any number of disease processes. Unrelenting or uncharacteristic fatigue, changes in mood with a tendency towards hyper-irritability and mood lability are common [4]. A sense of mental fuzziness and subtle decrements in memory are often reported, along with loss of appetite, sleep disturbances and/or gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort and dysmotility. Food intolerances and vomiting may develop as the deficiency progresses. Experimental [5] and case literature [6] suggest GI discomfort and dysmotility may be more prevalent early indications of TD than currently appreciated. A form of GI beriberi has been identified but is under-recognized [7]." and... Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/

      Thank you for these thoughts, Knitty. Trents: Yes. I would say we are taking it relatively light on his belly because it's been upset, so no heavy/excessive dairy, but he has had some cheese here and there. Not high quantities, however, and tests were negative for lactose intolerance.

      Being low in Thiamine B1 can cause fingers and toes to be cold all the time.  Thiamine deficiency affects body temperature regulation and sleep/wake cycles.   Thiamine deficiency-induced disruptions in the diurnal rhythm and regulation of body temperature in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9804367/
