Friendly's For Breakfast?

Thanks to the wonders of state standardized testing (lol never thought I'd say that!) upperclassmen don't have to be into school until 11 on Monday. So, my friends and I decided to go out for breakfast. I figured I'll end up getting some sort of egg dish, but does anyone have a clue what's safe at friendly's? Like the homefries or bacon or anything? The only list I could find was from a couple years ago, and they don't post info on their website.

The last time I was there, I went out or ice cream with my friends after Pride and Prejudice, and regardless of the fact that we (literally!) brought an entire cast and crew, they were pretty helpful- I wound up getting plain vanilla ice cream with m&ms to be safe, but they were good about the clean scoops, etc.

Thanks!!

I have never been there, but here is another post on the subject. Doesn't look promising. Sorry.

I read, recently, that most of the traditional sit down breakfast places, Friendy's included, add pancake batter to their eggs to make them fluffy.

My home-town has a friendly's and it's where "everyone" goes on Sunday morning. Thus far, I've avoided breakfasts there. I'm not sure I'd eat anything there, other than their ice cream. (And that would have to be plain!)

You could always TRY addressing the importance of your compliance with the person takng your order. But, then you risk loss of translation between the server and the cook, if the server even bothers to TELL the cook.

OK thanks. I think I might just get eggs (sunnyside up so they can't add anything) and fruit to make it easy.

I eat at Friendly's for breakfast a few times a month. I've never had a reaction but I'm not as sensitive as some on this site. I usually have omlettes, skip the toast.

IHOP definitely puts pancake batter in their omlettes but I'd never seen anything that generalizes that to "most" breakfast places.

I did ask at the local friendly's and was told they use plain eggs but that is something that could vary from location to location.

Thanks, that's good to know!

That's why you have to ask.....also wheat products are added to many foods at restaurants (example: wheat bread crumbs in tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. to stretch it out).

Try to keep in mind that restaurants don't necessarily follow the same receipes that you would use at home. They use tricks to make scrambled eggs fluffier and stretch out foods with cheap fillers. Also, ask about the hash browns (they may come pre-made in a frozen package).

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin and low vitamin D. I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
