Another Great Experience At Chilis

I know you all must be getting tired of seeing me with a thread like this. I had another great experience. I just get so excited when I have these I have to share them with everyone.

It was at the Chilis in Toms River, NJ. Again the hostesses know nothing about the gluten free menu. I got the manager and he knew enough about celiacs to impress me. I explained it in detail to him. How the grill must be totally clean. The pans they use to make my food. The utensils. How nothing can touch my food or I will get violently ill.

He was so accomadating. He said he will personally be in the kitchen standing next to the cook that would be preparing my food.

I had no reaction whatsoever. It is such a great feeling.

Thanks for reading my rants again!

I had the Honey BBQ Sirloin. Their BBQ sauce is gluten free. I had the loaded mashed potatoes, which my son loves. And I had the broccoli, plain, no garlic sauce. I am not sure if we can have the garlic sauce or not, I just like my broccoli plain, so I left it at that.

I really like this steak too. The BBQ sauce is yummy!

TinkerBell,

I enjoy reading all of the comments about encounters with restaurants. Keep them coming! I had a bad experience with Red Robin today and had to leave to go to another restaurant. I also had a good experience with Chili's where the manager gave me a printout of glue free items.

Thanks again.

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Betsy Crum · Posted

      I don't have health insurance so I have never had any testing done. I always thought if I stay away from gluten Ill be fine but I suppose that isn't enough anymore. I will look into getting an allergy test. Thank you for your input!

      Celiac Brand for Indian grocery

      By trents · Posted

      I remember reading an article summarizing testing done by Gluten Free Watchdog on several brands of dried lentils. They were all heavily cross contaminated with wheat and the commentary was to the effect that dried lentils in general were the most heavily cross contaminated product category in their testing data base. So, I would definitely not use any dried lentil product that was not tested to be Gluten Free (<20ppm of gluten) or Certified Gluten Free (<10ppm of gluten).

      While spices, lentils, beans and chickpeas are naturally gluten-free, the main concern with any brand is cross-contamination during processing and packaging. Since Suraj doesn't appear to certify their products as gluten-free or use dedicated gluten-free facilities, there is some risk of trace gluten exposure, especially with their corn flour which could be milled on shared equipment with gluten-containing grains. For absolute safety, I'd recommend looking for brands that are certified gluten-free by organizations like GFCO - good options include McCormick for spices, TruRoots or Bob's Red Mill for lentils and beans, and Anthony's for corn flour. That said, if you need to use Suraj products, be...

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Dapsone, commonly prescribed for dermatitis herpetiformis (the itchy gluten-related skin condition), comes with several potential side effects that patients should monitor. The most frequent issues include blood-related problems like hemolytic anemia (especially in those with G6PD deficiency, which is more common in certain ethnic groups) and methemoglobinemia that can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, or bluish skin. Many patients also experience headaches, nausea, dizziness, or skin sensitivity to sunlight. While these effects are often manageable, there are rare but serious risks including dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (with fever, rash and organ inflammation), liver...
