If you contact them they will give you a list. It is supposedly updated monthly with gluten-free products. With that said........I contacted them, got the list, told the manager about my diet etc etc.....and still got TERRIBLY sick eating with them. I won't ever go back there. So be very careful.

When visiting my in-laws, a large group of us went there specifically because they had a gluten-free menu. My 12-year old son is the one with Celiac.

The gluten-free menu suggested that he eat nothing fried - no tacos, no chips, etc. He does not like chicken, so about the only thing he cared to try was fajitas. They were served with cold corn tortillas (they would not warm them because of CC concerns). He ate a few pieces of meat and that was it.

We won't bother returning.

They do have a gluten free menu they update monthly. when you go in you can ask for it. The

manager came a talked to us. Any thing that is fried (including the corn tortilla shells they bring out with salsa at the beginning). I noticed on the gluten-free menu it stated the kids chicken meal, so I asked the manager if i could order that. I had a plain chicken breast (you can order a dressing to dip it in if you want) and you can get 2 sides I got spanish rice and veges. It was good and cheap.

I actually had a very good experience there. The chef/head cook came out and talked to me and suggested a steak (not sure how that's listed on their menu) along with mashed potatoes and grilled veggies. When I told him about my concerns with CC and mashed potatoes, he said that they make them fresh each morning and then portion them individually in plastic bags until serving time. He also made my food himself (cleaned the grill first) and actually delivered it to my table wearing this big white glove...we all laughed and said he looked like he was in a hazmat suit :). It was tasty and I didn't get sick, which is always a plus!

This was in Cary, NC. I was well taken care of and will return.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
