Hi lister

see you live in Oregon..I have found 'IF THE MANAGER IS GOOD' RED ROBBIN IS THE BEST FOR US!!!

IF YOU GET A BAD MANAGER...YOUR AT THEIR MERCY...I'M GOING TO FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO MY FAVORITE MANAGER, DAVE HOWK AT THE EXTON PA RED ROBBIN. HE HAS BEEN SO INCREDIABLE TO MY HUSBAND AND I.

THERE ARE ALOT OF THREADS ON HERE FOR THAT RESTURANT. IT SEEMS THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FRANCHINSE AND CORP OWNED ESTABLISMENTS.

GLAD YOU HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE. I LOVE THIS PLACE..AND THE FOOD IS TERRIFIC.

JUDY IN PHILLY :)

I have to learn to speak up. When we went to Red Robin, about a week ago, I asked for a Gluten Free menu. (I'd been told they were available) And, the server looked at me as if I were speaking a totally different language than she was.

We ended up getting our daughter fries, and lemonaid. I was too afraid to let her try anything else.

I just realized that I could actually eat a decent meal at Red Robin. My dad came in to visit me the yesterday and I took him to Red Robin b/c he'd never been. I didn't know if I would find anything gluten-free there or not b/c I didn't have time to check before we went out. I just asked the server a few questions (like do you fry anything else in the fryer besides the french fries?) He was really nice and admitted that they did not have a dedicated fryer (the way he said it made it seem like they were supposed to). So, I got a lettuce burger and a salad. It was a really good meal and I'll definetly go back!

Mandy and Lister--if you read the last Red Robbin thread that was up a few days ago...I said that my manager in Exton read me the oil ingred "over the phone" the next day when he called to see how i was...

the oil they have on hand has soy in it. i can't have soy so he buys another kind of oil and keeps for me and others who can't have soy...and they do not have a dedicated fryer...he just uses a clean pan and fries my ff in that one pan...

ok this may not be a answer for all travelers...remember i posted of my Easter experience where one R Robbin refused to feed me and asked me to leave..it happened to another poster on here too...so

guess you just have to call. that's the best advice i can give you

lister I didn't know i had a problem with soy until about 6 months into being gluten-free.so some tips for you and Mandy

Last time I went to RR, the manager and chef came out to talk with me. They steered me towards one of the burgers with bbq sauce (no bun). And steamed veggies. As much as I thought I'd miss the fries, I ate every morsel of food and it was wonderful. They told me that they do have a dedicated fryer, but they fry fish and onion rings in the next fryer, so there's always the chance for a small amount of cc. They were fantastic.

judy in philly -- Thanks for the advice. I really need to start planning/calling ahead so that I can feel safer about eating more than just bunny food :D

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
