Hi All-

I'm purchasing gift cards from school fund-raiser and saw that Red Robin is one of the restaurants -- I remember seeing a post not too long ago that Red Robin does a good job with their gluten free menu.

Just wanted to check if anyone has recent experience - good or bad - as until today, I didn't know we had Red Robin here in San Diego :P

Thanks!

About 5 months ago i went and ate there and they were very nice and helpful, the waiter was so excited i was the first gluten free person hes ever served(wwhich made me a little nervous) but he brought out a nice salad minus the croutons and candied walnuts, oil and balsamic vinegar, and was very careful. He brought out the menu and was very eager to help. it was really nice. And i had no reactions.

I haven't been back since I posted. I did buy a card for my brother for helping me fix my daughter's computer. He has no food issues though. My favorite place for gluten-free dining is The Old Spaghetti Factory. Yeah, it's a limited menu and it's predictable. And a few times the food was really slow. Once they not only comped our meal but gave us a $40 gift certificate as well. But the last few times we dined there we had no problems and they've never messed up our order.

I have had several very good experiences with RR at the Escondido mall, most recently in November. The staff actually seems to care about allergy issues and I have never been treated like I am a burden, which is a nice change! It is one of the few places I feel safe eating at.

I've heard a lot of great things about Red Robin and their gluten free menu, but I went a few months ago and this is how my trip went:

Me: "Hi, could I please see your gluten free menu?"

Waitress: "Oooohh, hmmmm.....let me ask someone...I don't think we have any ga-lu-ten.."

Me: "I know you guys have a gluten free menu, so that'd be great if you could ask a manager."

Waitress: "oh I know we do too."

Me: "?"

After talking to a manager and 3 other workers who were amused by my diet, they brought me the Shellfish allergy menu. I eventually got the right menu and ended up ordering some chicken burger sans the bun, but was so nervous by the time it came that I couldn't even eat it.

I'll have to visit a different Red Robin because I've heard that they're usually pretty helpful. But you may want to call ahead, or find someplace else to eat if you're heading to Santa Maria, Ca!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
