Red Robin

Hi all,

I know there has been a lot of past discussion about the Exton PA Red Robin. Well, I would like to add another good experience to the list! My boyfriend and I went on Sunday for dinner (belated Valentine's Day).

Turns out Dave is no longer the manager (I hope he's been promoted to bigger and better things!), but the new manager met me at my table after I mentioned food allergies to the server. She was fairly certain that my menu choices were safe, but she went to get the kitchen manager to be sure. The manager was apologetic, she was new and wasn't entirely sure of the gluten sources in items!

Kitchen manager came out, first words out of her mouth were, "If you want fries, no worries, they'll only take a few extra minutes; I've already started a fresh pot of oil." Now, my boyfriend isn't that knowledgeable about the diet, but even that response was enough to get a doubletake out of him; on the few occassions we've eaten out, he's used to me quizzing the chef/server on EVERYTHING, and this time, they were telling me of the precautions they'd already taken on my behalf!

So I had a chicken burger (lettuce wrapped) with fries, and it was yummy! The only thing I would like to know for future visits is about those wonderful looking milkshakes....

HI

I'm Judy and I'm the one who 'trained Dave' He was such a dear and so eager to help us and learn.

Just decided to educate someone so eager to learn and help other Celia's esp those with kids to feed.

he ordered the triumph dining cards and had them hanging in the kitchen at one point.

even bought cooking oil (soy free) for me to use when i came.

so sorry he left ...they lost a great manager...

i tried the vanilla milk shake (before i had to go gluten free) guess it was the last one i'll have :( couldn't guarantee the choc one free of soy and said not to have the vanilla 'addition from the bar i guess) they usually add but it agreed with me at the time.

so happy you went.

Dave seemed so thrilled as he watched me scarf up the ff...first ones eating out in 7 months. never will forget that viisit and his kindness to me and my husband..

hugs

Hi

My husband and our four children and I went to Red Robin in Washington PA on saturday night and I thought their gluten free menu was very very limited. We live in Ohio so we drove to PA(which is 3 states away, though it only took 45 minutes) just to go to Red Robin, since I had called ahead of time and the manager told me that they had a gluten free menu and he made it sound like it was a good size menu with a lot of choices. Needless to say my husband didn't order anything (he is the only one in our family that has celiac), he wasn't impressed at what they had to offer. I was disappointed because a sight I found on the internet showed their steak fries to be gluten free but once we got there we were told the fries shared oil and no one offered to change the oil for us. We would have been better off just going to Outback or Wendys.

I'm glad your Red Robin offered better service than ours.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
