Has anyone been to Carrabas lately? I read that they have a gluten-free menu, but don't know anyone that has been there.

Please let me know of your experience there. Thanks!

I have had great experiences. The staff is knowledgeable and very accommodating. They will even cook your own pasta for you.

The menu is extensive for a nice restaurant, from a great caesar salad to a drop dead desert.

I highly recommend Carrabas. :D

Thanks Momma Goose. I'm so excited to have one more place to go!

We went about a month ago and had a very good experience. If you're going with kids, find out if they bring dough to the table for the kids to play with. I didn't know they did this and nearly yelled at the waitress to get the plate full of dough and flour away from my daughter. In hindsight, that might have been a bit of an overreaction. :unsure:

We often visit that chain and are very pleased - especially when traveling. They have a GIG menu and are very helpful - we had them cook our own pasta, too. All good experiences. They listen to us about not using their grill (we prefer pans) and not having dairy, too. I often speak to the manager before ordering and have fantastic experiences this way. Wishing you a nice experience....

I love Carrabba's. It's the only sit-down place we go. I always get the Chicken Bryan and the Sicilian Chicken Soup. However, please, please ask the kitchen to double check that the soup doesn't have any pasta that has accidentally fallen in the soup and gone straight to the bottom. Each time, they have thrown out the soup pot, but the damage was already done...cc. It has happened twice to me the last two times we went.

Otherwise, wonderful place and I don't hesitate to go. But double check the soups and enjoy!

Thanks for all the replies! I think we may go this weekend. I love their Caesar Salad and haven't had it since going gluten-free. I have a craving for it and no I'm not preggers, just miss it. :P

Ginghamkim - thanks for the info on the soup. Would not have thought of pasta falling in.

AMQmom- I'm not sure I understand about the pan. Do you ask them to prepare your food in a pan rather than the grill?

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
