Red Lobster Ingredients

This is an ingredient list for the garlic sauce they use on the shrimp scampi. The guy was so nice there that he cut it off the box for me. :)

Garlic powder, maltodextrin, salt, onion powder, hydrolyzed soy protein, torula yeast, dehydrated parsley, malic acid, sugar, natural and artificial flavor (maltodextrin, butter oil), with not more than 2% silicon dioxide added as an anti-caking agent. Contains: Milk, Soy.

I've ordered the shrimp scampi several times and have had no problems. I usually order the crab legs which are just steamed, shrimp scampi, and a plain baked potato.

Thanks so much for posting this! It's nice to know that there is at least one reasonable option at Red Lobster!

Does the viola in your name mean that you play viola?

Ugh...I ordered it too and had a mild reaction...I don't know if it was the maltodextrin or the soy...knowing me, it was probably the soy...

The maltodextrin would not be an issue. In the US, if it were wheat derived, the ingredient list would have to disclose wheat. Since it did not, you can safely assume that it was corn based. I have never heard of a verified case of wheat-derived maltodextrin in North America. In any event, it is so highly processed that there is no detectable gluten in the finished maltodextrin.

No, I would guess it wasn't the maltodextrin either, but I must say I am confused as to what it was...and this is the worst I have felt stomach wise since going gluten free a week ago. I am thinking it has to be the soy protein or the butter (although I'm not entirely sure if that's pure butter or not).

Ahh yes, after doing a little research it seems as though hydrolized soy protein is connected to MSG...so that may be the issue..

The original thread is from 2008 and that is 4 years ago.... there is no way to tell if that is the original ingredient list, or if the restaurant has changed it during the elapsed time interval. Or the suppliers have changed the source of ingredients... there is that "natural flavorings" which can be anything, again. While their latest pdf download from the RL site said this entree did not have wheat, most of their menu does, :blink: and they say there is always a chance cross contamination from shared work surfaces. You also do not know what the restaurant does in terms of food prep for a gluten free item - it is going to vary from location to location, and depend on how skilled the chefs and prep are in the kitchen, plus does the waiter/waitress communicate that order to them accurately. I've been in chain restaurants where we ordered gluten free and the waiter seemed to get it, then they return with a loaf of bread and butter they have just sliced... besides telling them we really don't want the bread :ph34r:because we need the entire order to be gluten free, one then wonders just where their hands have been before they did your beverages. I had a pro chef tell me years ago to never order/eat anything in a restaurant that was prepared or served with generic "melted butter," because it was so likely to be cross contaminated because of how they treated the "melted butter" pot, dipping in and out of it, throwing stuff like oil and butter into it to replenish it, etc, it just wouldn't be treated as a source that needed to be kept free of grain contamination. :(

On top of what Peter and Takala said - MSG does not contain gluten nor does soy.

Yes, I know that MSG doesn't contain gluten...and I know soy doesn't...I was talking about other food intolerances which I am trying to figure out now and wondering whether it might be another ingredient in it (since gluten is not in this) that might have bothered me.

Thank you for this - I agree the chance for CC was likely high. That is interesting regarding the melted butter...I will remember that and avoid it in the future!

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.

      Are you taking a B 6 supplement or a supplement containing B 6 like a B Complex?  Do you have pins and needles in your toes?   Don't worry about the thiamine being high.  The blood is a transport system that carries thiamine to the cells so they can store it.  It's fine.  
    • badastronaut
      Quick question, had some blood tests done again and once again my zinc was too low but now ofcourse my B1 was too high and so was my B6. The doc said to  immediately  stop all supplements that contain B6. Can using thiamine raise the levels of B6 too?
