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.

      Which supplement says take 3 four times a day? Take the B Complex, one Benfotiamine, one Thiamax and one Neuromag at breakfast.   You can take more Thiamax and Benfotiamine at lunch with another Neuromag.

      Hello Surinder, and welcome to the forum. Thank you for sharing your experience. Have you been diagnosed with coeliac disease? Although less common, there are reports of coeliac disease being associated with pulmonary conditions causing symptoms such as a chronic cough.     Case Report: A case of cough, lymphocytic bronchoalveolitis and coeliac disease with improvement following a gluten free diet
    • Surinder
      I read with interest someone's article regarding gluten and coughing and how drs could not diagnose the cause. I am a prediabetic and in the process of cutting down on carbs I slowly eliminated bread and added more complex carbs and found that my cough had gone and I was feeling generally calmer and happier. This was an accidental finding and I relate to your story. I have shared my story for you. Kind regards, Surinder

      tldr: "we tested your daughter with one test and that result does not suggest Celiac. However, the test we used should not be used as the initial screening test for celiac (like it appears they did) because it misses a lot of cases ("low specificity"). No further testing is scheduled or pending" We eat "gluten" and our bodies digest part of it into "deamidated gliadin" (GLIADIN (DEAMID)). The gliadin is what actually triggers the Celiac disease pathway. The celiac's immune system sees gliadin much like an invading virus, and makes antibodies (AB) against gliadin. Each antibody has the ability to recognize a specific target (anti-gliadin antibodies recognize gliadin). When antibodies find their specific target, they stick to it and call in other parts of the immune system to help eliminate the target. This process also causes the immune system to make a lot more of that antibody, and your test was designed to measure if there was an elevated level of type A (IgA) anti-gliadin antibodies. Antibodies, which are also called immunoglobulins (Ig), come in different types (e.g. class "A" or "G"). Think of antibodies as different kinds of cars, and antibody types as different colors of car. An "A" type (color) is called IgA, and a G type is called IgG. IgA's are more relevant to Celiac disease than are the IgG's or other types. Unfortunately, some people don't make very much of the IgA class (like not making aqua-colored cars, even though they make the same cars in green) and that's a common reason for the gliadin-Ab-IgA test to fail to identify celiac. As Trents wrote, they should have given her a "total IgA" test and probably tested her for the anti-tTG IgA antibody.

      So I have the Benfo, Thiamax, and Neuromag along with my Super B Complex. When I read the labels it says take 3/take 4 times a day but one pill a day is ok correct since its 4 pills at breakfast.
