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!

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it. 
    • Zuma888
      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
