I haven't been there since my diagnosis, but when I contacted corporate I got a definite negative on being able to prepare a gluten free meal. I've steered clear due to their lack of cooperation. However, they did transfer me to their R&D team to place a request for a gluten free menu. I recommend you call and request a menu. If enough of us call, hopefully they'll make one for us.

When I called the corporate office, I got the same response as Ghulia. However, I called and spoke with the manager of my local Fridays. She assured me that they could accomodate me. She seemed to know what I was talking about, suggesting to me that they could clean a section of the grill, and also suggesting various menu items that would work for me. I felt confident enough to go. I requested the manager come to the table while ordering. I ordered a sirloin steak and steamed brocolli (wanted to make it as simple as possible). Everything was great! I felt fine afterward. I should add that I have been gluten-free for 1 year, and this was only the second time I have eaten out. I will definately go back to this Friday's. I would suggest that you call the actual Friday's you plan to visit, and talk to the manager there.

Here is the email response I received last year when I asked about a gluten-free menu.

Thank you for visiting our website. As for the difference in menus, unfortunately there are some variations due to regions and franchises.

In the interest of providing our guests with regional food preferences we have different food items available in different areas of the country. Not all items will be available in every area.

I appreciate your comments and hope to see you soon at T.G.I. Friday's.

Sincerely,

Brian

I recently ate at our local Friday's with my 6 yo who is on a gluten free diet. They baked her fries since they do not have dedicated fryers and ensured us that the BBQ suace on her ribs was gluten free. She did not have a breakout afterward (DH). We definately will be going back.

I stick with the obviously gluten free stuff and have not had any problems.

I had a bad experience at my local Friday's and won't go back - however, I have so many foods to avoid, I am amazed when a chain or even any restaurant will actually cook for me - Friday's just isn't one of them.

      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.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
