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.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
