Okay...so the other day i'm off to a home visit to meet with one of my precious autistic kids and I nearly wreck my XTurtle b/c out of the corner of my eye I see a Red Robin going up.... :o It's going up out there at Sandhills.

For those of you who have Red Robin knowledge PLEASE fill us in...do they actually have a gluten-free menu or have you just had good experiences with the wait staff/manager cooking you something safe??

And the fries...we cannot forget the fries... ;) I thought I read somewhere that they cook them in their own dedicate fryer??

I realize that once the place is open we'll have to go talk to the manager (Courtney i'm recruiting you, HAHA) and ask more specifics to assure safe dining, but I'd love any feedback that you guys have about Red Robin. Thanks!!!

Ate there recently and beforehand I consulted with the head kitchen guy and he confirmed that they do have dedicated fryers for fries. They serve them as appetizers, they have a bottomless fry situation there, and they are good. I ordered a cheeseburger withouth the bun and would go back again. My mom, who is 88 and eats gluten-free ordered a shake and ate fries and we both were fine afterward. If you ever are anywhere that there is a Noodles and Company, you should go there. They have rice nodles to which you can add grilled chicken and veggies, that is one of my favorite places. Barbara

We have 3 Red Robin's within 15 minute drive. All have dedicated fryers for the fries and all offer a lettuce wrapped burger (or any other sandwich-actually had a BLT that way there and it was quite excellent). Obviously, check and see, but I believe that because of the bottomless fries that they serve, they all have dedicated fryers. YEAH!!

Red Robin is awesome! I work at one, and so I get to see exactly what goes on in the kitchen. They are very knowledgable about cc issues and will prepare everything using clean grills and deticated fryers (I made sure to educate them!). They will prepare your burger away from the buns, etc.

I eat there all the time, and I always get the Vegetarian Red's Rice Bowl without the fried noodles and with the sauce on the side (sauce is not gluten-free). I have never had any issues.

The boys always get a patty with lettuce and mustard, a salad (they bring their own Annie's dressing), and a bowl of rice. They love it!

I'm so glad to hear all these good things about Red Robin!

Danielle,

I wish all the Red Robin restaurants were like the ones where you live. My hubby and I went to Red Robin for lunch today in Madison Heights, Michigan. When I requested a gluten free menu, the waitress couldn't even pronounce it and I asked for the manager. He, like the waitress, didn't have a clue. He said no they did not have a gluten free menu. He said only one of their buns was a wheat bun and the rest of them were just "regular bread". He obviously didn't know that bread is made out of wheat! After I explained that wheat is in all regular bread, he then suggested that they have a lettuce wrap I could order. I was too scared to stay after that encounter with ignorance. We left and went to Outback Steakhouse, where I was given a gluten-free menu and during the meal the manager came to our table to be sure everything was to our satisfaction.

Oh well, maybe some day our local Red Robin will have staff who have a little training about dietary requirements.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
