Rainforest Cafe can be very tricky because their food comes pre packaged and they basically just heat it up. For example, you can't order a hotdog without the bun from the kids menu because the hotdogs come packaged in the bun :blink: . I find it a little odd. Regardless, I wasn't getting anywhere with e mails either until I sent a very nasty one complaining that they are supposed to be a kid friendly restaurant and that I am trying to bring my child there and no one will help me find something he can eat there. Finally, someone responded by calling me back and they said that the hamburgers are 100% beef so if ordered without a bun he can eat it. They also said that the fries are not gluten free due to seasoning but you can ask for them to be cooked without the seasoning. I don't know about anything else as these options worked for my son. We have eaten there twice since then and he did not get sick.

Thank you for the info. Thats a shame, i thought there would be more options. Oh well. At least there's something for us. I guess its for the experience rather than the food anyways. take care.

I went to the RFC last month when I was in Vegas. The waitress had the chef come down and talk with me about my options. There weren't many, but they did make me a good cedar plank salmon. They didn't have much else to go with it, just a small (kinda boring) salad, but the fish was yummy :) Wish I'd had some chips or a baked potato to go along with it :)

My daughter had a cheese burger-no-bun and fries-no-seasoning and did fine. I was assured the nachos were okay but I got quite sick. Next time I'm just getting the fries, they were good even without the seasoning.

ALWAYS Take caution with the fryers, anyone who worked as a food place. There is a high chance of cross contamination!!!! If they run out of fryers they will use any fryer available to cook the things they need.

I had a gluten-free burger with bun and veggies.  I think here in Texas, they use the same gluten-free buns they have at Saltgrass.  They are delicious.  I'm not sure about elsewhere.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
