hi, Ive just realize that dennys restaurants are a good choice to go with my son. the hostess told us that they dont make the pankes in the same grill as the eggs or bacon.

so ive got a copy of their allergens info from internet, but I want to ask you 2 questions:

-can my baby eat Hydrolyzed protein or it contains gluten?

- I want to know about your experiences there and wath did you ask?

thx for sharing this info!!

I ate there not too long ago. I had chocolate milk, eggs, sausage links, bacon and hashbrowns. I got sick before I got home. I have a "restaurant guide" that I used and it had all those things listed except the bacon. I just thought the bacon would be okay too. That may have been where I made my mistake.

I considered eating at Denny's a big mistake before I was Dx'd, I would consider it a bigger one now. Food poisoning is for everyone.

I have eaten there also. I've had a hamburger patty with fruit, or a baked potato, and the veggie omelet. I never got sick, but I also gave specific instruction to my server and the manager. With places like denny's I believe it is a serious risk, even if you do talk to the staff. I think I just gambled and got lucky.

eating out anywhere, especially a place like Denny's, is a risk due to cross-contamination. It often depends on the specific staff. I do not eat at Denny's.

I have to travel for work quite frequently and often eat at Denny's. I have never had a problem and have found the staff to always be very accomodating to my requests. I order food that is naturally gluten free and very carefully explain what I need. So far so good with Denny's

I haven't eaten at dennys since dx, however I have been at a couple of breakfast places (small town type) and so long as you are specific with things, they're okay. I know big food chains like Ihop add pancake batter to their scrambled eggs, so don't order that!! I usually just make sure everything can be made w/ fresh ingredients, and on a clean grill. Mostly, I like to make breakfasts at home. I love canned potatoes fried w/ butter for hash browns, and Van's waffles or Pamela's pancake mix!

YES YES YES YES YES

Isn't it nice to hear a yes?

I have NEVER gotten a reaction from Denny's. I just ate there Sunday. I eat the Ultimate Breakfast Bowl.

It has potatoes on the bottom and eggs, cheese, ham, etc. on the top and bacon on the side.

The pancakes come on a separate plate and I gave them to someone else.

I explain that no pancakes or bread or anything can touch my food and that's it. VOILA!

YES YES YES YES YES

I love the breaskfast bowl!!! I only eat the ham bowl when I go to Denny's. I have never gotten sick. I do not eat at Denny's on a regular basis though, sometimes I do not feel the place is always that clean.

We do eat at Denny's. It's one of the few places that both my husband and cousin (both have celiac dis) like to go for breakfast. They order the meat-lovers breakfast, minus the toast. I can think of three separate Denny's we've gone to, ordering for them. So far (about 5 years for my cousin) so good.

Take care!

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
