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.

      Great article! Important in itself. I do recognize my overall sensitivity to food. It may possibly explain why I prefer to cook when past experience with cooks who may just be a little less hygenic, but do watch glutens have caused stomach upsets.

      Yeah I can increase the amount to 500mg/day and see what happens. I know I haven't been consistent enough in supplementing vitamins.

      Hi, last year i tested for celiac  my Tissu transglutaminase IgA lev was 20.3 U/ml but my Endomysial antibody IgA level was negative. I again tested just recently because i have symptoms of fatigue, bloating etc and my Tissu transglutaminase IgA lev was 26.5 but i again tested negative for my Endomysial antibody IgA level  I have now been referred so are waiting for an appointment where i suppose they’ll do a biopsy? Wanted to know could this mean i have coeliac, because its only ‘weakly’ negative considering the range is 0.0-14.9 or could it be something else

      @Jmartes71, Have you tried a naturopathic or holistic doctor?  Some posters in the past have commented theirs were more helpful than mainstream doctors.

      @HectorConvector,  Have you tried taking 500 mg of the Thiamine Mononitrate that you have left?   Thiamine Mononitrate may not be as helpful as other forms of thiamine, but since that's what you have on hand.    Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even at high doses needed to correct thiamine deficiency.   No harm in trying it. Neuroplastic changes in the brain may be caused by thiamine deficiency.   These changes can be seen in Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff's syndrome, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I googled "Neuroplastic Sensitization syndrome and thiamine pubmed" and see for yourself what it says.   Try taking 500 mg Thiamine Mononitrate and look for health changes.
