Red Robin French Fries

I LOVE Red Robin's french fries, & have enjoyed them many times. Today when I was there I wanted to make sure they do use a dedicated frier (they do if you ask them to), & they brought me

a gluten-free listing of products. The french fries AREN'T ON THERE! I asked the manager about this,

& he said "if they're not on the list, then they probably DO have gluten in them". Oh, I was SO bummed about this! I already knew I'd have to stop having the fries seasoned because their seasoning contains soy, but I could deal with that OK. Now I can't have the fries at all!

Anyone have any experience with this product, or any more details than this?

Thanks!

Just went to Red Robin on Sunday for the first time because of the fries. We checked with the manager (they have two dedicated fryers just for the fries) and the fries WERE on the gluten free menu. Perhaps it varies by restaurant? (we are in MA)

I think it does vary by restaurant. I went to Red Robin with extended family in August in the DFW area. The fries were NOT in a dedicated fryer so I ordered melon as a side dish instead. -Shannon

I went to the Red Robin on Katy Freeway in Houston on Saturday. I asked for a list of the gluten-free items, and they looked at me like I was from another planet. So, I asked for the manager. I asked if they have a dedicated fryer, she said yes. I asked about other menu items, and she started to look confused. I just ordered the lettuce wrapped protein burger (cooked in foil) and fries. I did not get sick, but I'd love to know what else is usually on the gluten-free list.

I really have to hand it to my husband on this one... when they said that they didn't have a gluten-free list, he offered to leave and try to find somewhere else I could eat (even tho he's been dying for that stack of onion rings!)... usually, he's not quite so understanding... but he's learning :)

I have only ever gotten salads at our Red Robin...Hershey PA, but the staff was always great. I just do salads since it is always work gatherings that we are there for and I didn't want to take the chance, it is different if I was going to go home afterwards.

I eat Red Robin quite a bit, I usally get sick afterwards, but I usally blame it on the cheese I put on the burger. I get sick 2-3 times a week anymore. :(

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
