Their Anniversary Godiva cheesecake uses a flourless chocolate cake as a crust but i would not guarantee that it is gluten free.

Their corporate office told me it was gluten-free, but I think cc is a real issue. I'd go over to the cheesecake case and watch/direct them on how to serve you.

What do you all order for a main course ? I'd love to try the cheesecake factory sometime. I'm just nervous.

When I was there, the manager came to my table and we discussed what I could eat. I ended up having a pan fried salmon (or you could have it cooked on foil on the grill) with asparagus and mashed potatoes. I did not eat dessert ... I don't really have much of a sweet tooth.

This is the e-mail that I recieved from their corporate offices today.

Thank you for your interest in The Cheesecake Factory. Our goal is to provide

our guests

the best information possible.

Although we prepare dishes that we do not add wheat, oats, rye or barley, our

concern is

that some sub-ingredients may contain trace amounts of gluten. In addition, we

do not

have separate cooking equipment to prepare flour and no-flour based items.

We understand that sensitivities can vary. Our managers will be happy to help

you select

dishes that we do not add wheat, oats, rye or barley however, because your

health is our

primary concern, we recommend non-marinated vegetables, chicken, steak, shrimp

or

fish pan cooked as opposed to grilled.

The only cheesecake that does not contain wheat flour is our Godiva Cheesecake,

however, the pan release product we use on the pan does contain flour.

We appreciate you thinking of The Cheesecake Factory and hope that you will be

able to

join us for a wonderful meal.

Sincerely,

Keri Walsh

Guest Services Coordinator

So I guess the Godiva Cheesecake is out <_<

Ahh, they must be learning more each day about celiac. Months ago when I wrote them, they said it was fine! I never had it, however. If I'm having dessert it's going to be creme brulee, except that with my casein intolerance both cheesecake and creme brulee are out. That's okay, I'd rather a good bag of Natural Ruffles anyway.

Wow good to know, thanks. I had also been told that the Godiva Cheesecake was ok and a few times thought about running in to grab a piece to go but never did. Now I'm so glad I didn't. Good to know.

Dang, I love that place. Wish they were more gluten-free friendly. However, if you're really craving cheesecake, Jax Peters Lowell has a KILLER recipe that I am SOOOOOOO in love with! I'll have to post it in the recipe section, or check to see if anyone else has! TOtally satisfied my sweet tooth!!!

Hi does anyone know if the Chessecake factory uses a dedicated fryer for their fries?? I love fries and its soo hard going to restaurants b/c sometimes you want to have an occasional frie and they don't use a dedicate fryer. If anyone could tell me I would greatly appreciate it:)

Does anyone know about their shepherd's pie. I was told in the past that it was gluten free and did not get sick from it, but the last time that I went they said that it contained flour rather than corn starch, so it is not gluten free. I was wondering if anyone knows if they changed their recipe because this used to be a favorite of mine.

My husband and I are going out on a "date" tomorrow night, for the first time in a very LONG time.

We'd love to go out to dinner - ya know... no kids, conversation, good food! However, naturally... I'm terrified to eat out.

I've looked at CF's menu, and it looks like there could potentially be some items that would be gluten free.... but are they? I'm just wondering if anyone has ever had a good experience there, or is that someplace that you'd avoid like the plague??

I went there once when I was first diagnosed and although I had a good meal and didn't get sick I'm a bit to afraid to go there now that I know how easily things can have cross contamination. That place is always crazy busy and I just think the chance to get sick is way to high.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast. All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour). Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat...

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
