We're looking to take a short trip, one possible destination is Bangor Maine.

I can't seem to find anything online about gluten-free or Celiac-friendly restaurants there?

Can anyone help me?

I usually go to the restaurants that have gluten free info on their websites. Here are a few:

Applebee's

Uno's

Chili's

Olive Garden

Denny's

I have to tell you though, Bangor doesn't have the nicest of people. I don't think the waiters even know the size of their own underwear. I mostly have salads no croutons with oil and vinegar. So far, the best place there was Olive Garden. They were very understanding and the dish was amazing. They brought me my own salad. I even brought my own corn chips and ordered their awesome brushetta mix.

You can go on their website and they actually have a few things that are gluten free.

If you like Thai, there is a great one called Thai Siam in Downtown Bangor.

I have looked on Applebee's website, but, cannot find any info on gluten at all. Can you tell me how to find this info? Thanks!

I used to agree with this... but now I'm very concerned with that place! I told a waitress there about my sensitivity a few months ago and she was very helpful... she gave me a rundown of everything on the menu that is safe. Then I was there last night and a woman seated near me had such a horrible experience. She'd told the waitress she was gluten-free when she was seated, questioned the food that was brought out to her and found out that it was made using soy sauce with wheat. The chef and waitress both tried to convince the woman to eat the food anyway, since "only a splash" of the soy sauce was used. The woman asked for steamed chicken/vegetables and the chef told her it was impossible to do that without soy sauce.

Now I have no idea whether or not to trust what the previous waitress had told me. I am Googling around to see if anyone else has had a similar experience so I can decide whether or not to avoid the restaurant, but I can't find anything too helpful!

Applebees is not gluten free friendly.Even the grilled chicken is not safe. Most sport bar type eateries use the same supplier. Most grilled chicken or any chicken is flas frozen with a flash glaze that we can not have!

Chili's is ok & Texas Roadhouse is ok for grilled chicken....

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
