Smokey Bones

First let me say that I just ate at a Smokey Bones for the very first time. The location was Southaven, MS, just outside of Memphis. I had a GREAT experience!!! The manager was awesome! I asked to speak to him as soon as the hostess seated us. When he arrived at the table, he said that he had some understanding of Celiac, "It's the wheat thing, right?" Well, that was a great start for me :) I gave him my Triumph Dining card, and from there he started making recommendations and bringing me ingredient labels that he pulled off products back in the kitchen. He was fantastic!!!

I had the St Louis style ribs, steamed asparagus, and coleslaw. I was hoping for the french fries, but he said that they don't use dedicated fryers at this location. I was slightly disappointed at this news, but REALLY just glad that he was up front with me and so VERY eager to help. Almost 6 hrs later, and I'm doing great....fingers crossed.

Ok, here's my question: everything I read about gluten-free at Smokey Bones says "All Barbeque and Grill Favorites" are gluten-free. Well, to me that sounds like a section of the menu, but there was no such. I stuck with the St. Louis style ribs, because the manager couldn't find any ingredient info on the Baby Back Ribs. He said he couldn't be certain about the glaze on the Baby Backs. What exactly is gluten-free at Smokey Bones? What is included in the term, "All Barbeque and Grill Favorites"? Because the "original" and "mustard" barbecue sauces are listed specifically as gluten-free, does that mean that the glaze on the Baby Back ribs is not? Or are they considered one of the "All Barbecue and Grill Favorites"?

Please help clarify for me. The manager repeatedly asked us to come back. It was a terrific experience. When your medically-necessary diet causes extra work for someone, and they still treat you with a stellar level of courtesy, it just makes sense to give them your business again and again.

Please help me choose safely from Smokey Bones menu. Thank you.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
