Butter in itself is not a gluten issue, unless seasoned. It may be a dairy issue.

To add to what Momma Goose said, butter itself is gluten-free.

At Outback, the butter they use on baked potatoes (and on the bread platter, FWIW) is plain butter, no problem.

On the other hand, the butter they use on the vegetables is seasoned butter, and contains gluten. Ask for your veggies without butter, but the stuff on your tater is ok.

My best guess would be that there is a possibility of CC of bread crumbs in the butter.

I think I said in a post yesterday that my sweet potato came with butter on it and had to go back. The butter they put on the sweet potato is a honey butter or some kind of seasoned butter and I have been told by 2 different Outbacks that it is not gluten-free. So, they just brought me a new sweet potato with regular butter on the side.

Sorry if I added to the confusion.

The butter @ Outback is safe but just FYI the Sour Cream is DEFINITELY not! I have a wheat allergy so as soon as I eat it I can tell before it even gets digested & I had 2 bites of the baked potato with SC & got hives! There must be quite a bit of wheat in there b/c that reaction is usually reserved for eating a bread products or deep fried somethings.

It might have been cross-contamination, but they use Daisy brand sour cream at Outback, and it is gluten-free. Also, the honey butter is gluten-free. If you want your veggies with butter, just ask that it not be the seasoned butter.

Outback recently switched to a remote printing system that allows servers and kitchen staff to communicate MUCH better and makes gluten-free meals easier to prepare. For just about every item on the menu, there is a "gluten-free" button on the computer screen.

Still, cross-contamination is a major concern at any place, Outback being no exception

The sour cream at Outback is most definitely gluten-free. Probably CC, which is possible whenever you eat out.

The honey butter is also gluten-free. There are no warnings on the menu to avoid it.

Ok, then you are right. I have Daisy @ home & have never had a problem. Sorry guys!!! :blink:

      Thanks for the clarification on the scope. This is what confused me, "gastro doc said from the biopsy there was mild atrophied villi but I know that could be from where the sample was taken and they could be gone not far away." I interpreted that to mean when the scope was done they didn't do a thorough job of checking the area that would be affected by celiac disease and were looking for other things.

      I already had a scope done and he said there were damaged villi. This follow up is to go over the bloodwork I already know the results to and the gastric emptying study I had done.  I won't say the burgers were not greasy but not bad. It even happens with chicken breast or tenderloin in the air fryer and that's not very fatty at all.

      You might be having trouble digesting meat because of the damage to your villi. But what about gallbladder problems? Were those burgers, even the turkey ones, greasy? The odd thing is the "peeing like a racehorse" after consumption. You say you have follow up GI appointment coming up. Please be aware if the GI doc wants to do an upper GI to specifically check for villous atrophy of the small bowel, the hallmark of celiac disease, going on a gluten free diet already may invalidate the results as it allows for healing to occur.

      Had noticeable issues for 7 months including 3 trips to the ER for extreme discomfort. Every doc just said I had gastritis, take pepcid. This never changed a thing. Finally talked a doc into a referral to a gastroenterologist who I had to convince to do a scope and bloodwork to test for celiac among other things. It's like nobody believed me when I said I was sick. I got results back saying positive for an autoimmune disease but not which one. At that point I started a gluten-free diet based upon my own findings. The following week I check my insurance site and there's a message that I tested positive for celiacs. Never got a phone call. This was 5 weeks ago. The message said they suggest I maintain my follow up appointment which is may 19. No instructions on what to do, avoid, anything.  I am smart enough to figure this out thankfully.  So now 5 weeks into it I definitely feel an improvement. Been only eating things that say certified gluten free on the packaging.  I was eating a breakfast protein kind bar in the morning but stopped because they aren't certified gluten-free. Also it seemed I would have hard upper gi grumbles when I ate them and I just figured maybe the oats were hard to digest. one of my symptoms was a hard gi grumble that lasted for hours after eating gluten. Eggs don't seem to bother me but I only have 1 or 2. Dairy doesn't seem to bother me. 2 sundays ago I had 2 burgers with no bun. 2 patties on the grill. slice of prepackaged provolone. Half way through the second burger it hit me and I felt horrible. 2 hrs later I am peeing every half hour and up half the night. Thought maybe the small amount of seasoning I used that was gluten-free got cross contamination. This past saturday made a steak. Real butter in a clean pan and throw the steak on. 2 hrs after eating it same thing. Hard grumbles, peeing every half hour for several hours, and plain exhausted. around 6pm yesterday....gluten-free turkey burger in the air fryer. 2 hrs later peeing like a racehorse, hard grumbles in my upper gi. I'm still feeling the effects today. I tried all day to find an allergist but the soonest appointment is in August. I have an appointment with a nutritionist the first week of june.  Thinking back the worst reactions I've had  before diagnosis were general tsos which could have been breading or animal protein I guess. A fried fish sandwich. again could be Bread or protein. 2 burgers while on vacation this past winter. Also since diagnosis I made a porkchop with green beans and sweet potatoes and got the same sick which to me makes me think I'm having more of a reaction to meat or its protein than I am to gluten. gastro doc said from the biopsy there was mild atrophied villi but I know that could be from where the sample was taken and they could be gone not far away.  I'm very frustrated from going gluten free 5 weeks ago and having similar reactions to what should be clean gluten-free food like steak or turkey. I know it takes a long time to heal. I know I have celiacs from the blood work. I just wonder if there is something else going on this whole time. Has anyone had any similar experiences or have any insight? I am looking forward to my gastro appointment next week and have a list of comments and questions but i'm not getting my hopes up. I am by myself and am really struggling with all of this so I'm glad I found this community. I looked through a lot of posts and haven't really seen anything similar. Thank you all in advance.

      You may want to go to a dermatologist to see if it might instead be dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin version of celiac disease. Here are some articles on Rosacea and CD:
