Anyone know if they have a gluten free menu? or heck just something that is gluten free? or I can tweak to make it okay? Thanks

I had contacted them a while back and they were not very helpful. The response I got was pretty much " eat at your own risk", so unless your location is more accommodating , I'd stay away.

I haven't eaten there since we lived in CA. What annoyed me was that I asked for a side dish of veggies for my daughter and the waitress wasn't going to let me have it. Then she finally said she would have to charge me $6 for it? I was like... Why? None of the kid's meals came with vegetables and my daughter was only a toddler then. I didn't want to get her the kid's salad bar because that cost as much as a meal and the only things she would eat from it were corn and olives.

I understand. I was in a similar position when I was on vacation last month, and I just brought a salad in Tupperware and just broke it out when the other food comes out. The server asked what I was doing and I told them since I can contacted them previously ans they were unwilling/unable to accommodate my needs I brought in my own food. They couldn't really stop me since our party was so large. And since they don't really like guests doing that it sort of forces them to realize they need to accommodate. Good Luck!

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      Thanks so much Scott. I would be incredibly grateful to the gluten gods if eliminating oats was the magic cure. In the meantime, it's nice to have moral support!

      Eating gluten before blood test

      By trents · Posted

      Understood. And don't beat yourself up about this. Many are in the same boat as you, having experimented with the gluten-free diet before getting formerly tested. It is a logical, common sense approach when you don't have the knowledge about how testing works or you don't have the healthcare resources to afford testing. And some experience such severe reactions to gluten that it is impossible to get through the gluten challenge in order to get tested. So, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing for sure if they suffer from celiac disease or NCGS. But at the end of the day, the antidote is the same for both. Namely, life-ling abstinence from gluten. Recently there was an article on posted on this forum about the develop of a new testing method for diagnosing celiac disease that do not require a gluten challenge. It is still in the developmental stage and probably years away from becoming main streams even if it pans out. But there is hope at least.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
