This restaurant sent me a flier...just wondering if anyone had gluten-free meal there? Their website doesn't state anything about gluten-free...

I have not tried Ruby Tuesday's yet, my parents love the place but for some reason I just do not feel comfortable going there. I am hoping someone on here can share something though. In the future it would help me to decide whether or not to venture there.

This is from 7/11/06. Doesn't look promising

This is in response to your communication to us regarding

potential allergic reactions to the food we serve. We appreciate and

understand your request for information. Unfortunately Ruby Tuesday

does not and cannot supply a listing of allergens that might be present

in our menu items for the following reasons:

- Although we require our suppliers to meet high standards for

quality and safe food handling, we cannot know for an absolute certainty

if the food items we purchase from outside sources do or do not contain

allergens.

- It is always possible, as we are preparing food in over 700

restaurants every day, that one item will be substituted for another,

and that the substitute product's contents may be different from the

ingredients in the products we normally use.

- As food is being prepared in our restaurants, it often comes

in contact with other food, so even though a specific item may not

contain allergens, it could be affected by another food item that does.

For those reasons, we believe it is better to tell you we cannot provide

the information you are requesting than to give you information that is

not accurate and could be detrimental rather than helpful. We hope you

understand and appreciate your interest in Ruby Tuesday.

Thank you,

Cynthia Ackerman

I have to agree with Colleen on this one....

I have tried Ruby Tuesday. The choices are very limited and I would not touch the salad bar. I did find that the manager was very attentive and consulted with the chief (with the use of my Triumph Dining cards). I had a chicken dish.

At any local restaurant, I would suggest go during off dining times and sit down and discuss your options with the management/chief. When I have done that, I have found everyone very accommodating.

I was in the Chocolate Ave Grill in Hershey on Friday for lunch with some friends from work. I have posted before about good service I had there before.

Friday they went over and beyond. I asked about the fries. The waitress came back and told me, there was no wheat on the fries but they are fried in the same fryer as their breaded shrimp. I was so happy she took that extra step.

Anyway, I opted for a cheese steak without the bun. I was very impressed! I tell everyone who is coming to Hershey or lives in the area. This place is very affordable and great service.

I have eaten at Ruby Tuesday's a few times. Both times I got a grilled chicken breast with swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato and pickle and a baked potato (requested for it not to be cut open) and sour cream. I treat it like any other restaurant that has a burger-style menu.

I been to Ruby Tuesday's twice , both times I was glutened. The food was good tasting but I will not go there again.... they just don't get cc ..... in fact one server told me you can't get sick from food unless it is spoiled!!!!That did it for me.....

Wouldn't go near it. One of those places that basically sends most of their foods pre-frozen and the folks there have no idea what's in it. Overpriced and, as you can see, will only waffle on what's in the food.

BLAECKY. My staff took me to Ruby's for Boss's Day. It was so sweet - they took me to lunch and wanted to buy, I felt obligated to go. Even thought I couldn't stand the place before diagnosis. I ordered what one of the previous responders mentioned, a very plain chicken breast with cheese and steamed veggies on the side. No flavor what so ever. And you guessed it, I got crapped up. God knows from what! Next time for Boss's day, I will buy and I will choose.

I did this at a local restaurant at 2 in afternoon and the waitress kind of rudely told me to get lost in so many words (manager wasn't expected until height of dinner meal 6PM) and she was too busy to talk to me....very disappointing and I didn't return at 6 PM since that is a real busy time for them on a Saturday night.

I had a good experience at a Ruby Tuesday. I didn't choose to go there, but went with family. I had a plain burger with cheese, steamed broccoli with butter only and a salad. I didn't get glutened and the manager was very helpful. It isn't someplace that I would go to frequently, but they were helpful when I needed to eat there.

      Hello fellow coeliacs and a Happy New Year I'd appreciate some advice. In December I gave up junk food and ate a new healthy diet, which had a lot of gluten-free oats, nuts, oranges in it, and a quite a lot of black coffee, rather than my usual lattes etc.  After a week or so I felt awful bubbling and bloating in the area which I would say is the ascending and transverse colon.  Earlier in the day it might start with stabbing pain, maybe just two or three 'stabs', or a bit of an ache in my pelvis area, and then by the evening replaced with this awful bloated feeling.   I can still fit into all my clothes, there isn't any visible bloating but a feeling of bloating builds from early afternoon onwards.  The pain and bloating has always gone by the morning.  BMs normal.   I went back to my normal diet over Christmas, for a couple of days things improved, but the bubbling and bloating then came back with a vengeance.  I'm having an ultrasound in a couple of weeks to check my pelvic area and if that is clear I suspect may have to have a colonoscopy, but is there anything anyone can recommend to calm this bloating down.  I have been given an additional diagnosis of IBS in the past but it has never been this severe.   I have to confess that I might have had some gluten over Christmas, I ate a lot of Belgium chocolates which were meant to be gluten free but the small print reveals that they were made in a shared facility, so I have probably brought this all on myself!

      I've been buying my seeds and nuts from Prana Organics for a number of years because the products have been GFCO-certified. I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
