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!!!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
