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!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
