Hi Everyone, just wanted to let you know I had a great dinner at Chili's tonight!

I took along a copy of the gluten free menu I got off their website. My waitress was great. Everything came out perfectly. I got a bacon burger with no bun and loaded mashed potatoes. Chilis does not have baked potatoes. My waitress said they had quite a few people with gluten intolerances there dining in the past few weeks, and this is a new Chilis and has not been open long. She even told me about her friends mom who had celiac. She also asked me to clarify something for her. A gentleman was telling her the other night about how he couldn't have the fries due to gluten. I ordered to mashed potatoes. She asked how I could have those but french fries were bad. I explained about how sometimes they are dusted with flower or seasoned. She was in awe. It was nice to see someone interested in learning more. The chili's gluten free menu says omit fries, and now she saw the meaning behind it.

I will go back again I had great service. I hope this helps people in my area who are looking for a nice place to go.

Also, there is a cross contamination issue with anything that is fried.

That is awesome! Glad you had good eatin'. Their ribs were one of DDs favorite things preDX so it's nice to know those were a keeper!

We've been to Chilis a few times with great success. I also don't think the fryers are dedicated which would explain why the fries aren't safe, but who knows. Our servers have always been so careful to make sure DDs food is safe.

I email them every time we have a good experience but no gift certificates yet. :D

We did join the "frequent diners club" they have and it works at Chilis, On the Border (no gluten-free menu that I've seen), Maggianos and one other place. Between Chilis and Maggianos we've had great dining experience and want to reap some rewards for our loyalty.

I've been glutened at a chilis about three years ago. But I would like to give the Mechanicsburg one another try, cause I pass Mechanicsburg quite often. It's only like 15-20 minutes from us. Can you explain how I can find the Chilis? I'm coming off of 81 and down 114.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears. Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also, I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. ...

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. 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.
