I actually emailed them about a month ago and this is what they said -

Good afternoon,

At this time, we do not have a nutrition analysis of our menu items to provide Guests. Black Angus Steakhouse is currently working to have this information available to Guests. Please check our website for updates.

Sincerely,

Black Angus Steakhouse

4410 El Camino Real, Suite 201

Los Altos, CA 94022

I would call the location and talk to the manager anyway. It's a steakhouse. They should be able to make something safe for you even if they don't have a corporate policy or procedures in place.

We went there for my nephew's birthday. I e-mailed them ahead of time and the chef from the location where we were going was supposed to get back to me. He never did. Daughter and I both have food allergies and she more than I. So I really needed to know. Turns out the only things they could guarantee safe for us were the salad, a burger patty with lettuce and tomato, and a plain baked potato. You may have a few more options if it is only gluten you need to watch for. They do use butter on/in a lot of their foods and we can't have that.

We didn't get sick from our meal but it was pretty disappointing to have to eat such a bland and boring meal when we were surrounded by good smelling and good looking food. And it seemed a pretty high price to pay for something I could have easily made at home.

Black Angus would seem to me to be one of those places that is hit and miss. You can get a good server/chef, or not. I ate their for my Birthday a year back(got a gift card before diagnosed, was diagnosed the day after getting it, and it sat around for a year or so)

Anyways, I had good service, I talked to the waiter, and shortly afterwards, a chef from the back came out and talked to me about what was all on there. I honestly don't remeber what I got, but I remeber it tasting great(ok so did the rum and cokes...)

I actually suggested a pepper blend he found interesting(and actually made), something I use at home.

3 parts pepper

2 parts Lawrys seasoning salt

1 part garlic powder(not garlic salt)

0.5 part Old Hickory Salt(I use Spice Islands brand, as its gluten-free)

I ate at Black Angus for lunch today. I ordered a steak, salad, baked potato w/ sour cream and butter, and steamed veg. All was well. I asked for oil and vinegar for the salad. It was good, and I felt great afterwords. I am one week into my gluten free eating, so it was great to have a good experience. I was at a baby shower the day before and ate something that was baaaad for me, so I was happy to have a good day. Overall, I am doing well finding gluten free items, and my family likes the food I am making. Much fresher!!

      Nope its just me because they can eat wheat and when we use same pans I found out last year thanks to you guys and the autoimmune website im learning,we are not to share though clean, same with sponge. I just wish doctors understood. I am with new gi and new pcp but im falling apart because blood work is fabulous.Im so ANGERY.I have reached out to my local representative, in Stanislaus but its just weekly stuff.Im going to need to physical go down there.Any recommendations on what to say and do because this is absolutely ridiculous. If I didn't have my husband though we are really hurting with one income, I would absolutely be one of the homeless population. Thats alarming begging to be heard about a diagnosis that was given as an adult and dealing with this, medical needs to stick to patients regardless of switching insurance or doctor.

      If you haven't noticed a difference yet, bump up your Thiamax.  Add in another Thiamax with breakfast and lunch.  Increase the NeuroMag as well.  You can add in another Benfotiamine, too.   Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Taking more is fine. I had to bump mine up several times when first starting.  It's a matter of finding what works for you.  Everyone is different.   Stick with it.  Some of the health improvements are very subtle and gradual.   Keep going!  You're doing great!

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  When the villi grow back, the villi can resume making lactase again.  I react to casein. Keep in mind that part of the autoimmune response to gluten and casein is the release of histamine.  Histamine causes inflammation, but it is also powerful excitory neurotransmitter, causing heightened mental alertness.  Histamine release is what causes us to wake up in the morning.  Unfortunately, excessive histamine can cause insomnia.  Our bodies can make histamine, but foods we eat contain different amounts of histamine, too.  Our bodies can clear a certain amount of histamine, but if overwhelmed, chronic high histamine levels can keep inflammation going and cause other health problems.   I got very weary of playing Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce what I was reacting to this week, so I adopted the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet designed by a doctor with Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.   The low histamine AIP diet cuts out lots of foods that are known to be irritating to the digestive tract.  After a few weeks, when my system was calmer and healing, I could try adding other foods to my diet.  It was much easier starting with safe foods, adding one thing at a time, and checking for reactions than trying to figure out what I was reacting to with so many variables.  I learned to recognize when I had consumed too much histamine from different combinations of foods.  Everyone is different and can tolerate different amounts of histamine in their food.  B Vitamins help us make enzymes that break down histamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate and calm the immune system.  Supplementing with Thiamine helps prevent mast cells from releasing histamine.  Keeping a food-mood-poo'd journal helps identify problematic foods.   I hope you will consider trying the AIP diet.

      You may be cross reacting to the protein "casein" in dairy, which is structurally similar to gluten. People assume lactose intolerance is the only problem with dairy. It is not, at least for the celiac community.

      Hi @knitty kitty  Just revisiting this to get some help. I found after understanding the extent of my anxiety, my sleep got a little better. Flash forward to a few weeks later I have had a few bad sleeps in a row and I feel desperate for a good nights sleep. I understand worrying about it won’t help but one thing I had tied things too was dairy. Initially when I went gluten free I felt great for the first few weeks then started having some stomach pain. So thought maybe I was lactose intolerant. I started eating lactose free Greek yogurt and that did help take the cramping away I guess. Over the last few months I haven’t eaten it every single day and I went a few weeks without it. The last few nights I did have a small amount with breakfast and noticed that was the only new thing I’ve really added to my diet. I had seen a few other posts about this. Is it possible to still react to lactose free? Would this potentially be a dairy allergy? Or something else.
