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!!!!.

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months. Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl. Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover. It will hit your Lympatic system and spread through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn...

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
