Hi,

My husband has celiac and in the town we live in we only have three places that he feels save to eat at, Wendys, Outback and Red Lobster. Well if you've been to Outback and like chicken, bacon and cheese try their ALICE SPRINGS CHICKEN. It is so good I also order it , it is on their regular menu and their Gluten Free menu. It is a chicken breast grilled topped with monterey jack cheese and bacon with mushrooms (we get it without the mushrooms) my husband gets garlic mashed potatos and I get a baked potato.

Good thing you get it without the mushrooms. The mushrooms are marinated in a seasoned butter that has gluten in it.

The meal with the mushrooms is gluten free. There is a member on this board who works at Outback and has verified this for us.

I love the Alice Springs Chicken and get it whenver I go to Outback. I have eaten the mushrooms with no ill effects and I am very sensitive.

Yes, the mushrooms that come with the Alice Springs Chicken are definitely glutenfree. I would notice it right away, too, cause I'm very sensitive.

:lol: That's funny, I always get the Alice Springs Chicken with the roasted garlic mashed potatoes, too. Oh, isn't that ever good!!! :lol:

I emailed them this morning just to be sure, as i said I always get the mushrooms. Every few months someone posts that they are not gluten free, I don't know why?

so lets see what outback has to say

I think the confusion arises from the fact that there are two different items served at Outback that are "mushrooms." If I have it correct, the ones served with the Alice Springs Chicken are gluten-free. But the separately orderable sauteed mushrooms (as a side to a steak) are not on the gluten-free list.

Correct!

If you want another really yummy treat from Outback order the crab dip from the appetizer menu and the chicken/bacon/swiss sandwich (no bun) from the burger menu. I order with brocolli. Then I dip the chicken and brocolli in the crab dip. It is REALLY good, very rich!!! I love it!!!

I finally called the Outback where they told me the mushrooms were not gluten free and talked with the manager. Very frustrating that the night we were there I kept telling them the Alice Springs Chicken mushrooms were o.k., but when I got my order it had no mushrooms. Told the waiter again that they are supposed to be o.k. who went and talked with the kitchen and they were the ones that kept insisting they had been fried in seasoned butter.

Talking with the manager just now he says the server and kitchen were confused and the Alice Springs Chicken mushrooms are not fried in the seasoned butter. I asked if there were any chance they would have been frying them in seasoned butter and he said no.

Hopefully this clears things up. The discrepancies seem to be coming from confusion with the kitchen staff or servers not understanding that some of the mushrooms are o.k. and some aren't. I honestly had them check like 3 times because I'd had it before just fine and they kept insisting they were not o.k. and I wasn't feeling up to taking it to a manager that night.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
