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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.
