Please note first that my Outback is extremely well versed with the gluten free diet and they are probably more trustworthy than many Outbacks. They informed me this evening that the actual Aussie Chips are gluten free, that its due to CC in the fryer and the seasonings that they are not listed as gluten free. Then they proceeded to tell me that they have a new fryer dedicated to only the Aussie Chips and the seasoning isn't added until after they're fried so they could make them gluten free. I spoke to the manager, Sarah, she's been great to us this past year and a half. She confirmed that this was indeed correct. So, we ordered Aussie Chips with my husband's meal (he's not Celiac) and I tried two. It's three hours later and I haven't had a reaction. I usually react within the first hour or two. Anyway, if your Outback has a dedicated fryer, you may want to ask if they can make the Aussie Chips gluten free for you. They were GOOD!!!

I believe she goes to the Lancaster PA location if I am not mistaken.

Yup, Lancaster, PA. I double checked with the manager and everything and she explained that it was just the seasoning that contained gluten. We've been dealing with her for just over a year. She's the one that got them to carry Bard's Tale as well as a few higher end vodkas that aren't derived from a grain base. I totally trust her if she says its gluten free. Plus, I haven't had a reaction. I didn't order the fries because I was a little nervous about them, but I think next time I'll probably order them. I miss real french fries.

The manager at our local Outback told me the same thing. The last time I went in there I had "chips" too - just with salt - and had no problems.

Dang! That was it. Work just treated my group out to lunch and I got a burger and some chips. I asked about the dedicated fryer. But I had the seasoning. I did a quick read of the ingrediants, but didn't see any thing obvious. Now I know! Still feeling awful since lunch 1.5 days ago.

Edit... oops, I just read this again. I had went to a Red Robin... not Outback doh!

      Typical Diagnosis Route

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For the celiac disease blood tests it needs to be 6-8 weeks eating lots of gluten daily, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy. Keep in mind that a diagnosis can also bring higher life insurance and private health insurance costs, so an official diagnosis can have some negative sides too. Another example is that many jobs now ask if you have a "disability" and celiac disease is included on their list of disabilities. Just some things to weigh out before proceeding.😉

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Everyone with celiac disease needs to make their own lifestyle choices--in my case I continue to eat out at restaurants and travel--while some people with celiac disease try to avoid doing either. Of course the safest way to go would be to do neither--but I cannot not accept such lifestyle changes. Since I've made my choice I try to make my dining out as safe as possible, and from what I've learned AN-PEP enzymes may mitigate low amounts of contamination. This isn't a perfect solution, but there are many people out there like me who make even worse choices (our last poll showed that over 20% of celiacs regularly cheat on their diets!).

      He said it helped him which is why I was curious if you took it. I agree not for the challenge.

      Typical Diagnosis Route

      By AdelaW · Posted

      Thank you so much for your reply! Yes, I am definitely struggling with my GI and support, I wish that I had been warned to not change my habits after the biopsy and posting of results as I then would have continued to eat gluten and would have no need for a trial. But I unfortunately need an official diagnosis as I cannot get accommodations in college without one, so I am thinking to do the gluten trial! Do you think 2 weeks will be long enough, by the time I begin I will only have been gluten free for about 2 months. I'm considering looking for another GI or a celiac specialist like you mentioned, that could really help! Thank you for your response and advise, hopefully I won't feel too horrible during the trial (although it is hard to imagine going back to gluten after feeling good for the first time in months without it), but I hope it will work out! Thanks again

      No, I haven't tried Gliadin X, although @Scott Adams might be able to discuss his experiences.   I think it's a bad idea to take GliadinX during your gluten challenge.  You won't mount a strong enough autoimmune response.
