I just got diagnosed with celiac disease and I was wondering what major restaurant chains had gluten free menus. I know that outback steakhouse does, but are there any others?? Can you eat thai food if you have celiac disease (especially red curry)??? Any information would be appreciated.

Just ate at PF Chang's again tonight for the second time. Meal (lettuce wraps and lemon scallops) was very good and server was first rate. You should get the Triumph Dining Cards in the six different languages. They are a must for first time dining in resturants that don't have a gluten free menu.

Outback Steakhouse, Carrabas, PF Changs, Bonefish Grill, Macaroni Grill, all have gluten free menus. Still make a big deal with your server about cross contamination, so they're careful. Also, the Triumph Dining cards are fabulous at any restaurant.

Bon Apetit!

The one I haven't seen mentioned is Maggiano's. They don't technically have a gluten-free menu, but they send the cook to your table and even have gluten-free pasta.

For fast food, Chick-fil-a grilled chicken salad, no sunflower seeds, tortilla chips instead of croutons and waffle fries. Also Wendy's chili and Frosty's. You can have the french fries if they have a dedicated fryer, you have to ask, each Wendy's is different.

Hi there, I was wondering, if anybody knows, if we can eat at Texas Steakhouse. I have no clue, if this is a bigger chain or just single restaurants, but I need to know for the one Texas Steakhouse in Martinsburg, WV. Does anybody know more about this???

Greetings, Stef

Be careful with the Wendy's frosty. It was on a gluten-free list for awhile, but then they took it off. I'm not sure if it's still off, but I don't trust it.

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
