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!

      Good morning, @Known1, When new to Celiac disease, It's extremely easy to blame all reactions on gluten contamination in products. Be aware that Celiac disease causes a state of hyper vigilance of our immune system. Our over stimulated immune system can react to chemicals in products and foods that normally are tolerable.

      Hello @Heavenly Flower Welcome to the forum! It will take time to master the diet and find what foods you can eat but I'd suggest what might make it easier is to keep a food diary. You can write down what you ate, and then any symptoms that arise in a day. Patterns do start to emerge. Also, it is worth bearing in mind that sometimes intolerances...

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Good morning, @Known1, When new to Celiac disease, It's extremely easy to blame all reactions on gluten contamination in products.   Be aware that Celiac disease causes a state of hyper vigilance of our immune system.  Our over stimulated immune system can react to chemicals in products and foods that normally are tolerable.   Bananas contain natural rubber latex allergens.  Many people, including me, react to bananas because of the latex allergens which can prompt a contact dermatitis reaction from handling the peels, or a more serious, possibly anaphylactic reaction if eaten.   Because we can't be absolutely sure about ingredient purity, it's beneficial to use products without all those mystery ingredients.   I use Vintage Traditions Tallow Balm.  Tallow balm is made from rendered beef fat, used for thousands of years for moisturizing skin and naturally gluten free.   You're familiar with how oil floats on water.  Our skin on the outside acts as that protective oil layer which protects our water based insides. Tallow absorbs quickly and easily into the skin without leaving a greasy or waxy feel.  Beef fat is more similar to our own fat, and so is more easily assimilated.  Artificial moisturizers made with mineral oil and petrochemicals, and plant oil based moisturizers are not absorbed as well and can leave a greasy or waxy feel after applying.   I have Dermatitis Herpetiformis, so keeping my skin healthy is important.  Tallow Balm improves skin by delivering those helpful fats which are needed to build that protective layer.  My blisters heal faster and with less scarring when I use Tallow Balm regularly.

      I put lotion on every morning.  I also eat a banana every morning.  Sometimes I wash my hands prior to eating my banana and sometimes I do not.  I started noticing a reaction and couldn't figure out what it was from.  I found this thread regarding Lubriderm lotions.  (Actually there are several, but this is the most recent, which is why I am replying here.) This thread did not provide a definitive answer, so I contacted the manufacturer via their website.  Below is their exact reply.  I inquired about two of their products, Daily Moisturizer (in the white/blue bottle) and Advanced Therapy (in the white/pink bottle).  In short, Lubriderm IS NOT guaranteed to be gluten-free. --Start quote: Thank you for contacting Lubriderm®. We appreciate your interest in our products. Kenvue fully complies with all regulations on ingredients in the countries in which our products are sold. Wherever regulatory authorities have set limits on certain ingredients, our product formulations either meet those limits or contain a lesser amount of the regulated ingredient. We are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and safety that have been our hallmark for generations of consumers. Although the gluten was not added to the Daily Moisture Lotion, we cannot guarantee that cross-contamination with gluten did not occur in the manufacturing process. In addition, some of the ingredients in the product may have been purchased by us from outside distributors, and we cannot say with absolute certainty that cross-contamination did not occur at their facilities. We recommend that you speak with your treating physician if you are concerned that, with your particular sensitivity, the product’s listed ingredients may trigger an allergic reaction.  Thank you for understanding. If you have any more comments or questions in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out again.

      Hello @Heavenly Flower Welcome to the forum!  It will take time to master the diet and find what foods you can eat but I'd suggest what might make it easier is to keep a food diary.   You can write down what you ate, and then any symptoms that arise in a day.  Patterns do start to emerge. Also, it is worth bearing in mind that sometimes intolerances are temporary. I was temporarily dairy intolerant following diagnosis, and my gastroenterologist advised I should come off dairy for 3 weeks to see if it helped with painful lower abdominal bloating, and it did.  As I have healed I have been able to consume it again. If you get symptoms consuming 'pure oats' (gluten free oats, i.e. oats grown apart from and processed separately to gluten containing crops, andthe only oats we as coeliacs should be eating), the advice here in the UK is to stop eating them, then try them again in about six months.   Not to discourage you but it too me some years to be able to eat them without getting a sore stomach, but now so long as I don't overdo things, I can eat them every day.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Heavenly Flower!  You're off to a good start but you can certainly branch out some. White rice is fairly devoid of nutrition. Baked potatoes with the skin (washed) would be a better choice for the starch unless, that is, you don't do well with members of the nightshade family. Yams or sweet potatoes would be even better because of the beta carotene. Do you have issues with eggs and dairy? How about fresh fish? What about fresh fruit? There are also non gluten alternative grains like quinoa, buckwheat (not related to wheat) groats and sorghum that are sold by companies like Bob's Red Mill that can be used for hot breakfast cereals. Gluten free oats is also an option, though some celiacs can't do oats because the protein in them (avenin) is similar enough to gluten to cause a reaction. Gluten is found only in wheat, barley and rye.
