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?

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      Hi everyone, I decided to post this since there's no enough online information. I'm concerned about the enzyme capsules that are said to help digest gluten. I'm waiting to end my university exams to start the gluten challenge and do the official diagnosis for Celiac Disease. A friend of mine suggested me to buy the "Gluten Digest Now" capsules...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Try heallix solution. It's at heallix.com It's a silver and fulvic acid solution. I just put it on a cotton ball and wiped the shingles area. I also took a little internally once a day. I can't remember how many times a day I applied to the area. Probably 3-4 times a day. It was the only thing that stopped the nerve pain. I don't know if the vaseline is...

      Global Experts Recommend Gluten Reference Dose: What It Means for Celiac Safety (+Video)

      What's missing, for me, from this article, is a timeline for implementation in countries. Western countries are often quite slow to implement, and some countries I've been to have no labelling whatsoever...

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      By Xravith · Posted

      Hi everyone, I decided to post this since there's no enough online information. I'm concerned about the enzyme capsules that are said to help digest gluten.  I'm waiting to end my university exams to start the gluten challenge and do the official diagnosis for Celiac Disease. A friend of mine suggested me to buy the "Gluten Digest Now" capsules during the Gluten Challenge to manage my severe side effects. But I'm not sure if it's worth it, if it's celiac disease the intestinal damage will occur regardless.  What about the symptoms? There's someone that knows if it could help to reduce them?  I’m worried people might be using these as a "safety net" without understanding how they work. Has anyone here used them during a challenge? Did they make a difference, or did they just provide a false sense of security?

His dr prescribed gabapentin 300mg 3x a day and he's also taking naproxen 500ng 2x a day and tylenol 1000mg every 6 hrs. Hope this helps  The lidocaine cream is by tylenol and is available in a large tube on Amazon or at Walmart

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein bar to fill and play it safe.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      By trents · Posted

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.
