I eat the Creole Catch, which is Tilapia, at Ruby Tuesday's. It comes with broccoli and rice. It makes a great meal.

I am glad to hear that you had great experiences at Ruby Tuesdays. I, however, emailed them about a gluten free menu or at least options. I didnt get a good response. They said they will never give you any items that are gluten free, b/c their restaurants as a whole, will subsititue items in any dish at any time they deem necessary. They told me as items become unavailable for that day or whatever the situation might be.

Maybe someone else has heard differently? I was looking to find out if their bbq sauce was gluten free. As in their ribs are my favorite. I havent had them for such a long time :(

I alse emailed them and got the same response -their distributors vary from location to location, so they can never ensure that what you get is gluten free. (AND by the way, the email was of a rather rude tone). They made some excuse about being a large chain and I emailed then back saying that places like Outback, etc. are able to accomodate celiacs and they should reconsider their structure. I got no response. I personally am boycotting Ruby Tuesdays because of this (and so is my family).

FYI, their premade potato salad is NOT gluten free.

I learned the hard way. :(

My response was in a rather rude tone too. Like who are we to ask? Now no one in my family goes there anymore either. I said the same in my letter, that there are so many other chains jumping on the gluten free bus, maybe they would consider it too? Nope. Their loss. :angry:

Totally. Maybe after hearing from enough of us, they will figure it out - but until then, I'll just go to Chilis

I have a classmate who is a line cook at Ruby Tuesdays and he told me that I would be better off not eating there. I trust him because he has been interested in what I can and can't eat and doesn't want me to get sick.

later on the next day i experienced painful stomach problems from whatever i ate at ruby tuesdays (since i i haven't eaten anything else outside my diet, im assuming this was the source) so i retract my comment, DON'T EAT THERE!

I found out this weekend that the Ruby Tuesday's in Stroudsburg, PA has gluten free french fries every Saturday. They clean out the fryer & change the oil. My daughter had a great dinner, grilled shrimp & fries. They also have a good salad bar. I'm going to email them & see why they can't keep it like that all the time & also see if that's a chain-wide practice or just there.

i got glutened badly when i was told i would be fine...and my boyfriend got a finger from a latex glove in his wrap...so im ok w/ keeping them off my safe list. :)

I used to work at a ruby tuesdays and every ingredient/side/whatever comes prepackaged and overly processed in individual preportioned containers, so the food you're paying rediculous money for is basically just processed gunk that someone dumped out of a container and onto your plate and warmed up, or pulled out of a freezer, dropped in a fryolator and plopped it onto your plate. i wouldn't recomend going there for good food, celiac or not. i do think that they were a good company, customer service oriented, etc.... but you're getting the same processed crap that you could get in the freezer at the grocery store.

that's the end of my rant on ruby tuesdays. judging by my experience working there and at other places, you're better off going to a non chain family owned restaurant. the cooks at the chain don't mean to be rude, but they don't know what's in your food because they didn't cook it. i'd feel more comfortable asking a chef or restaurant manager questions about what they're serving when they actually made the food from scratch.

      Marsh 3b is the Gold Standard of diagnosis for Celiac Disease.  Until recently, regardless of antibody tests, positive or negative, you had to have Marsh 3 damage to be awarded the diagnosis of Celiac. As I understand you,  you were having constant symptoms..  Your symptoms improved on GFD, with occassional flare ups. Did your doctor say you do and you are questioning the diagnosis? Regarding your increasing severity when you get glutened it is "normal".  Gluten acts on the Opiod receptors to numb your body.  Some report withdrawal symptoms on GFD.  I was an alcoholic for 30 years, about 1/2 pint of voda a day. Each time I identified a trigger and dealt with it, a new trigger would pop up.  Even a 30 day rehab stint, with a low fat diet (severe pancreatis) during which I rarely had cravings.  Stopped at a Wendys on the way home and the next day I was drinking again.  20 years later, sick as a dog, bedridden on Thanksgiving, after months of reasearch, I realized that gluten free was my Hail Mary.  Back in 1976 my son was diagnosed at weaning by biopsy with Celiac Disease and his doctor suggested my wife and I should also be gluten free because it is genetic.  At 25 years old I felt no gastro problems and promised if I ever did I would try gluten free.  Well, I forgot that promise until I was 63 and my wife 10 years dead.  Three days of gluten and alcohol free, I could no longer tolerate alcohol. Eleven years gluten and alcohol free, with no regrets. Improvement was quick, but always two steps forward and one back.  Over time I found nineteen symptoms that I had been living with for my entire life, that doctors had said, "We don't know why, but that is normal for some people". Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  It is an autoimmune disease, meaning your immune system B and T cells create antibodies against ttg(2) in the small intestine in Celiac Disease, and sometimes ttg(3) in skin in Dermatitis Herpetiformus.  'Why' is poorly understood.  In fact, it wasn't even known that wheat, barley and rye gluten was the cause.  Celiac Disease was also called Infantilism, because it was deadly, and believed to only be a childhood disease. So, as part of your recovery you must deal with those deficiencies.  Especially vitamin D because it contols your immune system.  Virtually all newly diagnosed Celiacs have vitamin D deficiency.  There are about 30 vitamin and minerals that are absorbed in the small intestine.  With Marsh 3 damage you may be eating the amount everyone else does, but you are not absorbing them into your system, so you will display symptoms of their deficiency.   As time passes and you replenish your deficiencies you may notice other symptoms improve, some you did not even know were symptoms. Our western diet has many deficiencies built into it.   That is the reason foods with gluten are fortified.  Gluten free processed food are not required to fortify.  Vitamin D, Iodine, choline.  The B vitamins, especially Thiamine (B1) run deficient quickly.  We only store enough thiamine for 2 weeks so the symptoms of Gastrointestinal BeriBeri can come and go quickly.  Magnesium, zinc, etc. each having its own symptoms affecting multiple systems.  High homocystene, an indicator of vascular inflamation can be cause by deficient Choline, folate, B6 and or B12.  Brain fog symptoms by deficient choline, iodine, thiamine B1.

      I cut out the rice because it was affecting my stomach at the time ... not necessarily dermatitis herpetiformis. It was Tilda Basmati Rice, sometimes wholegrain rice. I was willing to do whatever it took to heal. Too much fiber also disagrees with me as I have UC.

      But you didn't answer my question. When you consume gluten, is there an identifiable reaction within a short period of time, say a few hours?

      You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

      I am only wondering why you would need to cut out rice? I've never heard of rice being any issue in those with DH.
