Well I had my first outback experience! Yummy, I had the alice springs chicken with a baked potato. Now I don't usually EVER eat things smothered in cheese and bacon. BUT! I haven't eaten a decent meal out since I was diagnosed last month, so I was all over that like a rat on a cheeto!!!!! The server said "do you mind if I ask what gluten is" ugh, I didn't want to get into it so I just briefly described it to her. I got a tad paranoid, so I asked the manager (who just happened to pass by the table) if he could make sure my ticket was marked gluten free. She had no way of knowing when she brought the bread that I have celiac, but she almost slammed it right down in front of me, I caught a big whiff and it smelled so good :( To sum it up thanks to all for the advice, I had a great experience, I left fat, dumb, and happy.... :D ( and most important not sick!)

Oooohhhh... Glad you had such a great experience (minus the bread incident). That's become one of my all-time favorite restaurants over the past year. Yum. Did you have the chocolate thunder?

Ah... We made that mistake with Tori once. Never again! However, I have to admit, the chocolate thunder is worth the hyperactivity. He he he.

Yay! I was just going to dig up that other thread to ask how your dinner went.

I'm glad that everything went well, despite your server's lack of knowledge on the gluten-free menu.

Definitely get the Thunder next time - or at least bring it home with you for later!!!

:blink: Okay, we went again tonight. I was too busy to put together a huge fuss tonight, plus this damned insomnia has me wiped out! Anyhow....the food took forever, so being a server before I knew they screwed up somehow. When the food finally came we had 2 managers hovering over us offering us all this free dessert, and our waitress just disappeared from that point on. It all turned out okay in the long run so no big deal. I'm glad they took the time to correct whatever it was that happened instead of bringing it out to the table with a bun on it....I think that may have been irritating...and why every time we go, do they put the little cutting board with bread on it right in front of me? Lol....Eating out certainally is interesting now isn't it...

Oh I got that last time I went! I also normally wouldn't order chicken smothered with cheese and bacon, and to be honest had never even glanced at it on the menu. But after hearing everyone on here rave about it I decided to give it a try. YUMMY!!!!! So not something I would think I'd like but damn that is good! LOL!

The first time I went I had the alice chicken, yummmyyyy :P I actually made it at home and it was very easy to do. The honey mustard sauce I got was frenchs, not as good as the outbacks but it was good enough :D

If that honey mustard sauce is the same as their honey mustard salad dressing.. you can get the receipe on the site topsecretreceipes.com. I made it last week and it was out of this world. Someone posted the thread on here about that web site.. you can get a lot of receipes free, some you have to pay for.. but the salad dressings at the outback are free!

Sure.. here is the recipe

Outback Steakhouse Honey Mustard Dressing.. I am not sure if its the exact same thing.. I havent had the real one in a while.. but here is the recipe that I made

1/2 cup mayo

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons dijon mustard

Combine all ingredients. Cover and chill.

Thats it. pretty simple. I really like it. Like I said, I am not sure how close it is to the Outback dressing.. but I find this great.

Enjoy!

I make these great chicken tenders in the oven..I mix the gluten-free gorilla crunch cereal and gluten-free corn flakes, crush them up nice and fine add a little salt, pepper, garlic powder..then dip the chicken tenders in honey, coat with the cereal then bake in the oven till done and crispy[high oven, around 375-400]..I put them on a cookie sheet with the non stick Reynolds wrap, spray extra cooking spray cause the honey is so sticky..then make the dip on the side to dunk..YUMMY!!

I´m glad you have good experiences with Outback. I went on wednesday this week and I almost cry when I saw that amazing bread on the table. I took a deep breath and ask for the gluten free menu. I order the outback special with a cesar salad...... when the salad came.... it has croutons in it, I wanted to kill someone. They change it and brought one without bread. For dessert: instead of "the thunder", I ordered the sundae and it was unbelivable!!!!.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
