Cheesecake Factory

Just came back from the Cheesecake Factory in Cherry Hill, NJ. The manager on duty advised that "corporate" had provided a gluten-free menu - not sure if this is company-wide or just a test. Many of the salads were on the menu (along with the dressings that were OK), as were several meat, chicken and fish entrees. Several burgers were also listed. The manager told us that the fries were cooked in a dedicated frier, but since the menu said "sub fries" we stayed away from those. No desserts were listed, but the manager believed that Edy's ice cream was used.

Hopefully this will become formalized if there is a demand.

I sure hope so. I tried to eat there about 2 months ago. The only thing I could eat was a salad and their honey mustard dressing. :( Luckily I came prepared with some chopped turkey breast and and some gluten-free crackers. So I got the salad....dumped my turkey on it and used my own dressing.

So a few gluten-free items would be very nice.

I just at at the one in Columbus, Ohio (Polaris location) this past Monday. They did not have a gluten-free menu for me to look at, but the manager, server and kitchen staff was more than helpful on what DS and I could eat. DS ordered a plain cheeseburger (huge) and mashed potatoes (must have been a pound of them....boy were they good!). I ordered a side salad with honey mustard dressing on the side (they told me that was the only safe dressing b/c the others were made with soy sauce (wheat). They used to have a bacon dressing that was safe, maybe some locations still have that. I had a blackened chicken sandwich (sans bun). It was topped with fontina cheese. I had sauteed pea pods & carrots as my side. It was really good and no one got sick!! I did find out that they serve breakfast all day and they have several omelet/egg choices that would be safe....I did talk to the manager about those too. BTW, there are no safe cheesecakes even though they have a "flourless Godiva" one. The pan is dusted with flour.

HTH!

Are you sure? I've had the Godiva one a couple times now without a bad reaction.

As far as I know, all of Godiva's products are unsafe.

Here's the link to their allergy statement:

I used to love Godiva chocolates pre-diagnosis. As they were very expensive, I was shocked to learn their chocolates may contain gluten and they didn't seem to care that was a problem. I sent them a letter indicating my displeasure and remarked that considering they were so pricey, they ought to be more aware of allergens and the millions of people who have them. Haven't touched them since!

If you want good chocolate with no worries, Ghirardelli chocolates are delicious and just as good as Godiva, minus the gluten.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
