I had the best experience at the Maggiano's in King of Prussia, PA. I was ordering the Shrimp Scampi '"without the linguini because I can't eat wheat'' when the waiter said, "We have gluten free pasta if you'd like" I just about fell out of my chair, because there was no mention on the menu of gluten free options. He talked to the chef, who made me a custom creation that was so tasty, and the pasta was terrific. The waiter told me ''we take allergies very seriously here''. I was so impressed by this one restaurant and how they treated me, like someone special and not a freak! Yay Maggiano's! This is the first time I've been to one, don't know if they all have gluten free pasta, but I will be writing headquarters to let them know they have won a loyal customer!

From what I can tell they all pretty much have gluten-free pasta. But sometimes they run out apparently ... so ask first. I've been to two Maggiano's in the DC area & both accommodated me. The chefs came out & we worked out what I could have. I'm vegetarian & can't have dairy, so that cuts out quite a bit. Both times the chefs came up with something new just for me.

The menu I saw last time DID mention the availability of gluten-free pasta, in small print below the listing of pastas. This was the lunch menu. My first trip to a Maggiano's was for dinner; I can't remember if I saw the mention of gluten-free pasta then or not.

We ate at Maggiano's in Denver (Pavillions) on Saturday night and had a great experience as well. We called ahead of time and made a reservation (there were only 3 of us) and told the host gluten-free. When we got there, the chef came out and took DDs order personally.

She got the corn rotini pasta w/ alfredo sauce with steak slices and broccoli. She absolutely loved it! It was her birthday yesterday and it was awesome to take her to a nice place to eat. :D

Also, when we called, they indicated they don't have gluten-free menu online, but they do have gluten-free products so if you call ahead you get super-special treatment!

I'm not sure when you went, but when I visited Maggiano's in KoP, I saw it listed on the menu. Granted it is a single line mentioning Gluten Free pasta is available, but its there.

I actually talked to the sous chef there at the time and he offered to make lasagna for me out of these little spiral corn noodles (depends on how busy they are). I also had a delicious (modified) Chicken Cacchitorie (sp).

Enquire about dessert as well! My first trip there they actually had Gluten Free cookies available! They were an orange zest chocolate chip, and rather delicious. Sometimes they have it, sometimes they don't. I definitely love going there though!

Cheers!

Just a word in favor of paranoia --

Double-check when they bring your pasta that it IS the gluten-free pasta, especially if you have anything else special about your order. My last time at Maggiano's I talked to the chef and told him I wanted gluten-free pasta. We then had a discussion about what I could have on it that would be vegetarian and dairy-free as well. What they brought to me was a vegan topping on REGULAR pasta. I realized this after eating a significant amount of it, then seeing that my husband's pasta looked like mine.

The chef HAD written down my order, but simply forgot the gluten-free part.

Better to sound paranoid than go through what I went through after that :o

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
