Texas De Brazill said all their meets were gluten-free when I called last night. they told me that when I come in just to let my server know and the chef would come out and talk to us and tell us everything they had that was gluten-free.

It is a bit price but my 7 yr old daughter (who is gluten-free) loves that place.

Yes I know a 7 yr old who loves fancy expensive dinners I ahve created a monster! LOL

We haven't been there since her diagnosis but it was very comforting to know we could still go to one of her fav places.

Update:

We went to Texas De Brazil last night and theyw ere wonderful1 We told the hostess my daughter needed a gluten-free menue and she instantly printed out all the items that were gluten-free. The cheeses weren't on the list but our waiter asked the chef. The only bummer was the salad dressing wasn't gluten-free so next time I will bring some for my daughter.

Yes, the fries at Red Robin & Cheeseburger in Paradise are gluten-free. They both used dedicated fryers. I also have a weakness for fries and the ones at CIP have become my favorite!

I read that some Red Robins use a dedicated fryer and some may not. Either way it's probably a good idea to ask:

I have had 2 different experiences at 2 Red Robin's- one said they do fry other things in their french fry frier (when they are in a pinch), the other one said it is dedicated. Be sure to ASK at your Red Robin, before you dig in!

We are HUGE patrons of Noodles. DD just likes the rice noodles with butter but I usually make her add some veggies and beef so it has some real nutritional value. We always go to the same Noodles, if we can help it, and we're getting to know the staff and manager. The manager said there is about 20-30 people who come in every week for the rice noodles because of gluten problems. I could buy them by the case!

Noodles and Co sounds great... wish we had it here! Good to know for travel though.

Taco Johns......

I call a local restaurant this weekend and asked about ingredients. If you have them fry the potato ole's in a seperate fryer ( the manager said they would do this), than they are gluten free, and the seasoning. Also, the chicken they use for the chicken soft tacos is gluten free. You would have to bring your own corn tortilla though b/c the hard shell tacos are not just corn, they have wheat. The taco meat has oats.

That is all I asked about though is those 4 things. I was excited b/c I LOVE Taco Johns!! I get such a craving for those yummy spice potatoes!

I'm confused. I just looked at Arby's allergen menu. Under "Sides and Sidekickers" the Southwest Eggrolls are listed as having Wheat, but not gluten. I thought that anything with wheat had to have gluten? Just about everything else (except Spicy Cajun Tartar Sauce) has gluten checked if Wheat is checked. I figure it's probably just a typo...

Here in Boston we have restaurants called "KnowFat!" (Open Original Shared Link) ...I think they're a national chain. Anyway, they don't have a gluten-free menu online, but I emailed them and this was the response I got:

Here is a list of gluten free items that are currently available to you on the menu. Please let me know if you have any further questions, or suggestions and feel free to contact me directly (Go to their site's contact page)

All burgers without the bun,

okay I am new to this gluten free and I guess I am not understanding french fires and why they have gluten in them. Is it b/c they fry other items in the frier? I think I have a sensitivity towards gluten not sure if it will get worse as I get older or not.

There are two distinct things to be concerned about regarding fries.

First, some fries are not just pure potato, but have a coating on them. Often this is a flavoring for "zesty fries" or "curly fries" or some other name. The coatings generally have flour, and flour is gluten. To be safe, the fries have to be plain potato with nothing added.

The second issue is that if other foods containing gluten, such as chicken fingers or onion rings, are fried in the same fryer, some gluten transfers to the oil. Then when the oil comes in contact with the fries, they become contaminated.

So, to be safe, the product has to be pure potato, and fried in a dedicated fryer. Other pure potato products, such as hash browns, can share the fryer, but nothing breaded or coated.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
