Hey,

Just had dinner at Carrabas last night

Open Original Shared Link

I had

1. Mama's Chicken Soup (no pasta)

2. Cesar Salad (no croutons. dressing on the side, extra parmesan)

3. Pollo Rosa Maria (chiken dish stuffed with provolone, prosciutto and covered in a lemon basil butter sauce (yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

All of this for $19.00

I highly recommend Carrabas (ask for the gluten free menu from the waitress, follow the directions on the menu, then enjoy your gluten-free meal!)

I have enjoyed Carrabas gluten free menu, but do not have the garlic potatos! They assured the ingredients for the potatos were gluten free, but I had the gluten reaction. There is too much cross contamination risk. Go for the steamed vegetables instead.

Laura,

I had the garlic mashed potatoes and didn't have a reation.

They were great too. I'm sorry they had a malevolent effect on you :(

The best part of the meal was the pollo rosa maria. (The soup and salad were no slouches either)

I have been eating at Carrabbas on a regular basis but I had a bad experience the last time I went. I got the Mama Maria's chicken soup and asked for no pasta. I checked through it before eating it and didn't see any. Then after my 3rd spoonful I found a small piece of pasta. The manager apologized but that was it. I actually wrote an email to Carrabbas telling them that if they are going to offer the soup on the gluten free menu that they have to be extremely careful in the kitchen and make sure everything is separate. The manager said he will discuss this with the kitchen staff to make sure that everyone is knowledgable about the disease and that it won't happen again. They also sent me a $45 gift certificate.

What a shame! At least they gave you a GC.

Oh well, the way I look at it, we have to deal with "humans", so they are going to make mistakes -- we just have to frequent the ones who make less mistakes than others.

In any event, I do love their food. Especially for the money.

I also love that soup....I hope I never find pasta in mine :(

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
