Johnny Rocket's Is Celiac Friendly

:D I just returned from a trip to Scranton, PA with my family. We went to Johnny Rocket's. It was my first time eating out since my diagnosis. I was pretty nervous and afraid I would ruin our trip by getting sick. I especially didn't want to be sick during the three hour car ride home. I explained to the waitress that my meal needed to be gluten free. The manager came over and said he would make me anything I wanted. I ordered a grilled chicken without the marinade. They washed the grilll and all the utensils they used to cook it. They even let me watch. They were so eager to help me. I was so impressed. They were not familiar with Celiac disease, but they really went out of the way to make me a safe meal. I am happy to report that I did not get sick. I really wish other restaurants were as eager to help. They are not so helpful on Long Island where I live.

If anyone is visiting the Scranton, PA area I highly reccommend this place. They were wonderful and the food was great.

I was so excited to read this until I got to the part about the one on LI not being helpful. That is the only one I know of. Are their milkshakes (pref. chcocolate) gluten-free?

The milkshakes should be fine as long as they don't make them in the same container as the malts.

Here's their Celiac statement - impressive!

"Notes about wheat allergies and celiac disease

Celiac disease and wheat allergies are two distinct conditions. Celiac disease, or celiac sprue, is a permanent adverse reaction to gluten. Those with celiac disease will not lose their sensitivity to this substance. This disease requires a lifelong restriction of gluten.

The major grains that contain gluten are wheat, rye, oats, and barley. People with celiac disease must strictly avoid these grains and their by-products.

Wheat-allergic people have an IgE-mediated response to wheat protein. These individuals must only avoid wheat. Most wheat-allergic children outgrow the allergy.

Johnny Rockets products feature ingredients which may contain wheat flour and/or gluten. If your condition is life threatening then it may be in your best interest to avoid our restaurant due to the possible, however extremely unlikely, event that residue from contraindicated products may come in contact with those considered "safe." We are in contact with the Celiac Disease Foundation as well as the Celiac Sprue Association in order to obtain more information."

They've got a bunch of other allergy info on there, also!

Were their fries safe?

:( The fries are not safe since they use the same oil for their chicken tenders and onion rings. I only had the grilled chicken salad without the marinade (marinade had barley in it). I would go back again to the Scranton PA restaurant.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
