I tried looking on the web site but can't find any info other than they do have a gluten free menu. Does anybody know what is on that menu?

I am going tomorrow.

Thanks,

Ok I found the restaurant guide and all the info on Olive Garden but does anybody know if the parmasan cheese they add to the salad is safe?

I had very good luck at Olive Garden. I had to find a place for the family to get together after our children's baptism, so I ran in and asked the manager early that day when they first opened. She came out and talked to me and knew exactly what I was needing. She went back to her desk and pulled up the latest gluten-free menu for them and brought it back out. My son and I had no problems. My son had the Tuscan Tbone and I had salmon. I don't remember all the other choices, but there were a few.

I love their salad and don't have a problem with it...they are really good about accomodating me. Haven't had anything else yet.

Olive Garden will subsitute plain rice for any pasta entree. At our Olive Garden, they use cream for there thickener for most sauces, but you have to make sure you ask someone in charge.

The weird thing is, at our olive garden, you have to tell them that they have rice. The waitress that we got the other day was like, "this is a itallian resturaunt, we dont serve rice" I told her, "Your manager said that yall have it in the kitchen. If you tell them that I have a wheat allergy, they will make sure that they use rice and dont contaminate it." She looked at me like I was crazy and said, "Ok, well Ill check on that. If they dont have rice, would you like to have spaghetti and with noodles?" Seriously...some people worry me. I had to go find my friend that works there and have him explain it to her! Then I asked her for salad with no crutons, and she came and said, "Here is your salad with extra crutons. Enjoy"

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
