I am so glad that there are restuarants that are becoming more gluten free friendly. I went into Outback Steakhouse for the first time not to long ago and they had a gluten free menu. I was so shocked because I haven't found any other restuarants that do that. Are there more placed with these menus that I don't know about?

Carrabas, Bonefish Grill, Pf Changs, Legal Seafood. There are many, many, many out there.

There are many out there, but there is a difference between listing "allergens" (as many fast food restaurants do) and training the staff on safe preparation practices (like the above mentioned restaurants.)

Eating out is inherently risky though because of cross contamination.

Texas Roadhouse also has a gluten free menu upon request. We have had great success there. For fast food, our favorite is Wendy's. They have a large gluten free menu on their website and it hasn't disappointed us yet!

Here are some that I have eaten at:

Cheeseburger in Paradise

Red Robin (menu online, they can get you one at the rest. from the MGR)

Smokey Bones

First Watch

Cameron Mitchell Restaurants (all have a gluten-free menu or are able to tell you what you can safely eat) Open Original Shared Link

BD's Mongolian BBQ

Ted's Montana Grill

Hope this helps!!!

Does Red Robin have a gluten-free menu? I went to the website and could not find one.

Thanks,

I thought it was online, but maybe the manager printed it out for me. I usually eat the lettuce-wrap protein burger (just burger, tomato, onion, cheese & lettuce). Comes with a green salad or you can sub fries. Their fries are fried in a dedicated fryer. My son gets a burger with no bun and fries.

Be careful at Wendy's. The one near me is set up so that I can watch the people preparing the food. I usually get a plain jr. cheeseburger because the gloves they would use for lettuce and tomatoes also handles the rolls. I also get a baked potato. They serve the potato wrapped in foil, but cut it open with a knife that has touched who knows what? I ask them not to cut the potato.

Thanks for the info. Next time I go out (which is hardly ever!) I will call the Red Robin near us.

I believe Uno's Pizzaria's have Gluten-Free menu's also.

What about McDonalds fries??? My dietician told me I could eat them because they are cooked in their own fryer, but when I went to McDonald's website and looked at the ingredients for the fries, it showed a beef flavoring whick included maltodextrin. I am new to this gluten-free thing, but I am assuming this is a no-no???

If you show your Triumph Dining Card I have found that most places will try and help you. My favorite is Elmo's diner in Cdarrboro, NC next to Chapel Hill if anyone is ever in the area.

FYI,

Not all Red Robins use a dedicated fryer --- REMEMBER TO ASK THE MANAGER

Also,

Do not get burgers at Wendy's with ketchup, mustard, mayo ect -- they use the same ladle to put them on as the ones with buns get (CC)

The Red Robin we used to go to did not have a dedicated fryer. However, they were happy to do the french fries in a pan with fresh oil so that they would be gluten free for me. Perhaps other Red Robins would be willing to do this as well.

Maltodextrin is not gluten. However... McDonald's fries are a much debated topic here. Apparently the oil used to fry them in at some point contained wheat and milk. McDonald's tells us they are gluten free, although I can not follow the logic they use. Whether they are safe for you to eat or not is something you'd have to decide for yourself. As for the dedicated fryers, that depends on the location. Not all of them have dedicated fryers. And another big issue is cross contamination

The Spaghetti Factory also has gluten free pasta and a gluten free menu. Chili's also has some gluten free items as well.

Isn't maltodextrin a malt flavoring? My dietician told me to stay away from anything containing maltodextrin because of the "malt".

Does anyone know if Macayo's is gluten-free friendly?? My boyfriend is having a meeting there today and he doesn't want to get glutened. We're both really new to the gluten-free diet. Are there any staples you can get at any resturaunt that are safe, or do they have to be really specific?

Any info will help. Thanks so much!!!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.
