I travel a lot and know of some restaurants that are gluten-free, but is there any way to find out what all of them are? I know PF Changs and Outback Steakhouse have gluten-free menus. I just looked at Taco Bell's website, however, and saw that they don't have one single item on their menu that is gluten-free. Travelling is becoming so difficult! I have a ton of food allergies- gluten, dairy, soy & seafood, but the others are easier to avoid (and the consequences aren't nearly as bad!) than gluten. Any suggestions?

I believe taco bell has a few things that are gluten free, but i could be mistaken. McDonalds and Wendy's both have gluten free menus online, but they aren't available in the restaurants. Outback, Bonefish Grill, and Carrabba's all have gluten free menus on site at each location as well as PF Changs. Chili's has a gluten free menu that they can e-mail you. You need to request it monthly though as it changes.

I hope that helps. I know there are lots of others, but I don't know who.

As well as the ones already mentioned, Legal Seafoods has a gluten-free menu. Boston Market doesn't have a gluten-free menu but if you e-mail them they will send you a list (I had one but accidentally deleted it). Their regular chicken and most of their sides are safe.

Maybe pick up a copy of the Triump Dining Guide. It lists tons of restaurants in every state that either have gluten-free menus or have been known to be accomodating.

Chick-fil-A grilled chicken salad and waffle fries.

Cheeseburger in Paradise has a gluten-free menu.

Maggiano's, the chef will come to your table and discuss your options.

McDonalds scrambled eggs and sausage (not the bacon)

I've gone to Taco Bell a few times since going gluten-free and have been safe with the tostada. I also just checked their website and found these suggestions:

Suggestions for Wheat and Gluten Sensitive Individuals

- Tostada

- Fiesta Taco Salad (order Chicken instead of Beef; order without the shell and without the Red Strips)

- Express Taco Salad (order Chicken instead of Beef)

- Zesty Chicken BORDER BOWL® (order without the Zesty Dressing and without the Red Strips)

- Southwest Steak Bowl (order without the Creamy Jalapeno Sauce)

Yeah, it's annoying to order special things, but at least there are some options!

Wendy's has a gluten-free menu online. I love the frosty and the baked potato (with the works).

Charlie Brown's Steakhouse has a gluten-free menu at their locations and on their web site.

I'd never trust McDonalds again after the controversy with the Fries! :)

Most thai restaurants (true thai, not thai fusion) will be able to accomodate you, as their ingredients are often naturally gluten free. You'll want to talk to the staff, of course, but there's almost always a few items to choose from.

I had a friend who worked at Wendy's and I would not trust the chili. Whenever they would burn a burger or anything like that, it would get tossed in the "chili meat drawer" and then chili would be made with it the next day, so who knows whats in there. Not even from a gluten standpoint --ewwww. When someone who works somewhere won't eat an item made at the restaurant, I don't think I will either.

All good suggestions! Thank you

Since I'm new at this, I made my post, and then it took me 5 days to find it again! :lol:

I ate at Taco Bell this past weekend after checking their website, and finding the following:

Suggestions for Wheat and Gluten Sensitive Individuals

- Tostada

- Fiesta Taco Salad (order Chicken instead of Beef; order without the shell and without the Red Strips)

- Express Taco Salad (order Chicken instead of Beef)

- Zesty Chicken BORDER BOWL® (order without the Zesty Dressing and without the Red Strips)

- Southwest Steak Bowl (order without the Creamy Jalapeno Sauce)

I was traveling and actually had my hubby check the website and call me on my cell....I had the Southwest Steak Bowl the way they suggested and it was good and filling and I had no reaction! I'm newly diagnosed (2 weeks) and am searching for places to eat as well.

Wendy's also has a great gluten free list on thier website, as does Chik fil a!

Good luck!

Last time I was in Taco Bell they said they had discontinued the tostada years ago! Maybe it was just this particular franchise. The tostada was always a favorite of mine.

Beware of soy sauce and oyster sauce used in Thai food (at North American Thai restaurants) that may not be listed on the menu. Fish sauce is gluten-free, however; this is what you should request that they use to prepare your dinner.

If anyone has a Fleming's near them, you should definitely try it. The Flemings potaotes are "Ohso Good" and gluten free.

Their steaks are also incredible (albeit pricey).

I usually have my birthday/special events there or Maggiano's.

If you email the President at Taco Time, he will give you some gluten free options also.

I've heard that any Taco Bell that serves the Crunchwrap Supreme should have tostada shells -- and most TB's are still serving this very popular item. We can't have the Crunchwrap Supreme of course, but that shell is a required component, so it means they will keep it in stock. Other ingredients of the tostada are on their every day menu. The only answer I can seem to get out of TB on a consistent basis is that ONLY their Pintos-n-Cheese, Rice and the Tostada (not always available) are gluten-free.

If you check my post from before I took the list right off of the taco bell website. So there are a few moer things we can have besides pintos and cheese :) yay!

Look back just a few posts and you'll find it!

Does anyone know anything about Hard rock cafe.........the melting pot, planet hollywood or random seafood places at the beach??

i'll obviously contact these places but i thought i'd test my luck on here first

Actually I ate at the Hard Rock Cafe in Philadelphia. It's listed in the Triumph dining guide as being celiac friendly (don't buy the guide by the way). So I went there and spoke with the waitress and the manager and gave them my Triumph dining card and she gave it back to me assuring me that all was gluten free, and I was violently ill for days. It could have been the tea I had the next morning, but I'm not totally sure on that one. When I returned home (I was on a trip), my clothing didn't even fit me properly anymore. They seemed to know what they were doing when I spoke to them, but I haven't been that sick in a long time.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
