Funny enough... I went to their website and

the only menu that did not come up properly

was the gluten free one!

I went there a year ago (in Duluth GA)

and the staff at the time had no clue so

I didn't eat there -sorry I couldn't be more

help, but I think I would definitely have

a talk with the manager prior to eating there.

I have not been personally, but saw on another post that someone successfully ate at the Bugaboo in Burlington, MA.

It seems that they are pretty new at it though...from what I have heard they are not nearly as far along as Outback. So you may have to explain things a bit more thoroughly than restaurants like Outback, Legals, and PF Changs. I am thinking to try the one in Burlington soon, as I work a couple miles away...but of course have been a bit nervous as I am sure you are too!

We went to the Bugaboo Creek in Braintree last weekend. My daughter was fine. I can't remember what she ordered except that it was some sort of dinner salad with chicken. I had seen from their website that they had a gluten free menu. When I mentioned to the server that we needed that menu, she was totally confused, had no idea what gluten was and said they don't have such a menu (in her defense, she was nice though). Anyway, I found the manager and, yes, they have a gluten free menu. The manager came over, went over the menu with my daughter and oversaw her meal being cooked in the kitchen. She seemed quite knowledgable and it was fine. Despite the confusion, we'd go again. If it makes a difference, she's also dairy free and that wasn't a problem either.

Betty,

Where is the mexican restaurant you go to?

Thanks!

I go to Legal's in Burlington about once a month and have never had a problem...they seem very careful about everything. Usually I have a manager come out and talk to me without even asking to see him/her (they must be alerted each time there is a special order). In the bar area the tables are very close and you are basically eating with strangers! However, there is an entire area of the restaurant with booths and separate tables which are much more private. I am not sure how the Natick one is set up, but I would imagine all the restaurants are set up in a similar manner?

I eat at Bugaboo in Watertown near Arsenal Mall in Mass. I go at least every other month. So far no problems. But, I have been 4 times since the gluten-free menu came out. The third time it was different menu, and the fourth it was back to the old one!? So, I was a little concerned. I stick to the same thing each time and have been ok. I get the lemon seasoned trout, smashed potatoes and veggies. Yum. The servers definitley don't have a clue what gluten free is, but the cooks seem to. They always ask if I want bread!!!

Where is Plainville? Is it in the Boston area or North South?? Thanks

I have eaten at Bugaboo 3-4 times since the gluten-free menu came out without any problems. Last week I stopped in - ordered something I had had before and specified to the waitress that I needed it prepared gluten free. She said, it is a gluten free item. I explained that I needed her to tell the kitchen that I needed it prepared that way and that they needed to monitor what it came in contact with in the kitchen.

I live about 25 minutes away, and I barely made it home. I was SO sick. I was crying b/c my stomach pain was so great and my "gluten-ed" symptoms were so intense. I called and requested to speak with the manager. I explained very nicely that I knew Saturday nights are busy, but they needed to know that my request was not followed through on.

She didn't even ask who served me or where I was sitting. In fact, the best she offered was, next time come in and a manager will watch your meal the whole way through the kitchen.

Personally, I feel you should train your staff to handle any allergy without being babysat by a manager.

I was NOT pleased with our conversation, and I will probably NOT go back.

My fiance' is in the restaurant business, so I double checked with him - and he felt that the manager handled my health needs in a pretty non chalant (sp?) manner, and that I should be unhappy with her response. (Wanted to make sure I wasn't eliminating a possible restaurant too rashly!!!!!)

If I get brave enough I may go back, b/c it's a nice meeting point between my sister's home and mine, but it will not be for a LONG while. Bummer

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
