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

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part....

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
