I like it when restaurants have this - lol :)

I am going out to Chili's tonight for dinner, and I went to their website and they have allergen info, including Gluten Free.

Just thought I'd let you all know.

I think it is great too that restaurants are now posting gluten free food items on their sites.

I have looked at Chili's list so many times but have not made it in the restaurant yet... I have called and spoken to one of the managers about what to do whenever we do decide to go eat there, so that was nice and a 1st step.

Pretty much what we talked about was to bring a copy of the Gluten Free Food List in from their site and if I feel comfortable then just order with the waiter or show them the paper and ask for the manager and order with them. I am scared about CC so I think that is why we haven't gone yet. I am thinking about getting it to go so if I did have CC problems then I would be at home with "my" bathroom.

GOOD LUCK -- Will have to let us know what you got and if you felt okay later :)

We went with my son a couple of weeks ago- he ordered off the gluten-free menu and had the potato soup, plain salad

with NOTHING on it (they dont seem to get the croutons/breadstick/ and I don't trust the shredded cheese) and a plain hamburger patty. Of course they have the gluten free menu and my server had an aunt w/ celiac disease, I was so happy-but then they brought his burger on a bun!!!

We have also had success at TGIF- he ordered a plain salad (the first one came w/ a breadstick on top-sent that back) plain flat iron steak and mashed potatoes w/ steamed broccoli. In that restaurant they were so happy to tell me one of the servers has celiac (not in on that day) but like I said the breadstick on the salad! Both times I asked to speak w/ the manager first, discussed cc ect.

I would love to just stay home and cook for him-but both my son's play travel ice hockey and we travel to various places at least once per month-stay in hotels and I am going crazy searching for places he can eat SAFELY! I now have a mini micro and bring stuff w/ me to be safe-but that is not always an option!

I think Chili's is linked w/ a few other restuarants that list gluten-free ingredients, if you go to their websites they have the same webtype listing and menu listing.

Good luck!

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
