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.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
