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

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
