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!

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
