The Old Spaghetti Factory Feedback

Here's what they had to say to me about their options for Gluten free food. I'm kinda confused about the last statement about the Tabasco Sauce. Does anyone know what this means?

Dear Amanda,

Thank you for your email! Since our specialty is pasta and all of our regular pasta items have gluten in them, our Gluten-Free options are slightly limited. However, we are currently testing a Gluten Free Corn Rotelli in some of our units in (OR, WA and CA, except, Sacramento, Concord, Elk Grove, Roseville, Stockton and Rancho Cordova). We also have the following Gluten Free options available at all of our locations.

Main Courses:

* Baked Chicken. This is a chicken breast with the wing bone attached. It is marinated in oil and spices and baked in the oven. You can order this meal with the broccoli and or a side of Gluten Free pasta if it is available.

* Caesar Salad (with or without chicken) - ask for it without the croutons and without Caesar Dressing (substitute the Caesar Dressing for our Famous Creamy Pesto Dressing or our Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing)

Sauces:

* Tomato Sauce

* Mushroom Sauce

Side Dishes:

* Chicken strips. These are grilled chicken strips and have no breading. They are a great addition to the Caesar Salad or a pasta dish!

* Broccoli covered with Mizithra cheese, Brown butter and Olive oil.

Salad Dressings:

*Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing.

*Creamy Pesto Dressing

(Select test areas Only):

* Cobb Salad – no Blue cheese crumbles or dressing (sub. Pesto or Balsamic Dressing)

* Salmon Tuscany without the Orzo pilaf (sub. Broccoli or gluten-free pasta)

We also suggest that you make sure to alert your server to your food allergies so they can better help you with your special order. We hope this information helps and we look forward to serving you!

NOTE: Locations that have Gluten Free pasta – the pasta is cooked separately, stored separately and reheated separately.

Creamy Pesto Ingredients:

Mayonnaise, Salad Oil, Sweet Basil Leaves, Tabasco Sauce, Salt, Granulated Garlic, Grated Romano Cheese, Buttermilk, Half & Half. In an 8.5 gallon recipe there are 2 teaspoons of Tabasco Sauce. Tabasco has distilled vinegar in it, which can be unsafe to some Celiacs.

Sincerely,

The Old Spaghetti Factory

Distilled vinegar is NOT a source of gluten, although it was once thought to be. A few people, including some celiacs, have a problem with vinegar (not gluten-caused), but for most of us it is not something to worry about.

Tabasco sauce is gluten-free. Enjoy!

      Pear Bread

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour ...

      Help!!

      I agree with Trents' reply. In addition ... Your post does not say what you did with your child's diet after the blood test and prior to the endoscopy. Usually the Dr advises a "gluten challenge" prior to the test so that the inflammation is more pronounced and easier to see. On the other hand, if they didn't mention this, you may have reasonably restricted...

      @Jmartes71, I understand how frustrated you feel. I have been disappointed with the medical system myself. Have you read my story in my blog? What can we do to help you get better? Nutritional deficiencies are common in Celiac disease. Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Which supplements are you taking?

      Test interpretations

      It would seem then that your next step should be a biopsy to check for damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. But you must not reduce gluten intake until that is performed else healing will take place in that area of the intestines and the biopsy results would be invalidated.

      Pear Bread

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour 1 cup sugar 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 tablespoons cold butter 3 large eggs, room temperature 3/8 cup buttermilk (1 tsp white vinegar + 3/8 cup milk) 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cup finely chopped ripe pears (1-2 med/large pears. You could peel them but I don't) Directions (optional) cut butter into pats, place on saucer in the refrigerator while prepping other ingredients In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. (I use a whisk to mix) Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (I use pastry blender) Combine eggs, buttermilk and vanilla (I use same whisk); stir into flour mixture just until moistened. (I use a mixing spoon) Fold in pears. (mixing spoon) Spoon into 2 greased 5 x 8 inch loaf pans Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans on to wire rack. Allow to cool completely. Not sure how long you can keep this at room temperature because it gets eaten quickly

      Welcome, @anya22, Can you tell us more about your diet?   How much gluten containing foods did you eat?  What kinds of gluten containing foods did you eat?  What has your high calorie diet consisted of?   Some gluten containing foods contain less gluten than others.  Cakes and cookies may have less gluten than something like deep dish pizza.   Glad you're here!
