I honestly have no idea, but thus far... I've not found any Applebee's to have even a remote clue about gluten intolerance issues. So, we stopped going there a long time ago.

That place was our family favorite.

I went to Applebee's about 2 years ago as it was my hubby's favorite place. The manager tried so hard, but I got glutened real bad. I have not been back there. They really tried, but it just is not worth it to me as there are so many other places I can go to.

I had two bites of my boyfriend's from their the other night. Judging only on how I felt (b/c honestly they look at you like you have two heads when you say you are allergic to wheat), it is not gluten free. Must be the marinade or something on it. But also, it could be cc because they put croutons on their vegetables that were on the same plate for some unknown reason.

AMB, I've heard that Chilis has a gluten-free menu and I know it's right near Applebee's where you are. Also Cheeseburger in Paradise has a gluten-free menu.

Let me give you fair warning ... eat at home this weekend, it's parent weekend for IU. :P I'll be stuck waiting for a table at Cheeseburger ... but I think we'll got straight there from my daughter's work at 5 to try to beat the crowd. For me, it will be lunch at Nicks', dinner at Cheeseburger, breakfast at the Hilton Garden Inn (the only breakfast place I feel safe eating since I stand there and watch them cook).

There are a lot of other options, I'd just skip Applebee's and Fridays.

Both Malibu Grill and the University Club downtown are willing to work with you. The manager at Malibu (we were regulars ... our picture is on their website even, but this was before diagnosis) even came over to me one day after my diagnosis and said there was another celiac who came in and he was happy he already had learned all about it from me. Sadly, their Key Lime Martinis are NOT gluten-free!

What in a martini could have gluten in it?

The key lime liquor has graham cracker in it. :( Used to be my favorite!

I waitressed at two different applebee's during college, and their chicken breasts have a marinade on them that has soy sauce. Almost all of their food is prepackaged and full of wheat/gluten unfortunately. SOME of them used to offer a plain chicken breast (not listed on the menu) but honestly, I would be very hesitant to eat there---I do not.

      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!

      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
