Does anyone know if the jack daniel's sauce at TGI Friday's is gluten-free? I have emailed them several times and I have not received a response. I am guessing that it is not since many recipes I see for it have soy sauce in them. But I figured I would ask since there has got to be some other people out there who may know.

Thank You,

Vanessa :)

Hi Vanessa,

I realize you asked this over a year ago!!! I just joined the board today, and also just happened to call TGI Friday's corporate headquarters today to ask the same thing. After navigating their website and finding nothing, I phoned and talked to a lovely woman who told me they have absolutely no information available about the gluten content of any of their food!!!! but that they are working on a "gluten statement". She told me that it's a very difficult thing as utensils would have to be kept separate, etc. I assured her that I am aware that when I step out of my own kitchen, I take the risk of cross-contamination, but that all I really wanted to know was what foods actually contain gluten. She simply repeated that no one has any information of that nature to give me. I got the impression that their first priority is to set up a legal defense position to protect themselves from lawsuits. I asked her to pass on my name and number, that I'd be happy to talk to anyone and give examples of restaurants that have helpful menus and websites, etc, but I'm sure I'll never hear anything. If I do ever get any info, I'll post it here. Hope you are managing to be well. :)

Best,

Marianne

Hi,

Could be totally wrong here but if this sauce actually has Jack Daniels in it it´s not likely to be gluten-free- whisky is made from grain and has gluten in it I believe.

Distilled liquors are gluten-free, regardless of grain source, unless some of the mash or something is added back in after distillation. Jack Daniels is gluten-free.

pretty sure there is going to be soy sauce in there.. maybe not.. I found a link for a copy cat of the sauce made with worcestershire sauce which isn't gluten-free. Open Original Shared Link Sorry if i dug up an old thread, but I too was searching google for the answer.

_~~! First Post woot! Jack Daniels sauce is so delicious I'd eat it on my vacation time and just be sick with it..

Here's the gluten statement on Bailey's website. It sounds like a CYA statement to me, but I haven't tried drinking it, so I don't know...

Please be advised that the whiskey used in Baileys is manufactured by fermenting grain which contains Gluten. Due to the presence of gluten in the whiskey components before distillation we cannot absolutely guarantee that there are no effects to coeliacs. As we are not qualified to give medical advice persons requiring a gluten free diet must consult their medical adviser before consuming Baileys.

      Help needed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s completely understandable to feel confused and anxious—colonoscopy prep can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with symptoms like loose stools and elevated inflammation markers (that high calprotectin and CRP definitely warrant further investigation!). Regarding the senna tablets: The warning about avoiding senna with IBD (like Crohn’s or colitis) is typically because it can irritate an already inflamed colon. Since you don’t yet have a confirmed diagnosis—but your brother has colitis—it might be worth calling your gastroenterologist’s office today to clarify if you should skip the senna given your symptoms and family history. Some clinics have an on-call nurse who can advise quickly. For the prep itself: Plenvu is strong, so if your bowels are already loose, the senna might be overkill. Stick to clear liquids tomorrow (broth, apple juice, etc.) and stay near a bathroom! For anxiety, remember the procedure itself is painless (you’ll likely be sedated), and the prep is the hardest part. Bring a phone charger or book to the clinic, and treat yourself afterward to something gentle on your stomach (like mashed potatoes or yogurt). Hang in there—this is a big step toward answers. You’re doing great advocating for yourself!

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Great question! Wheat straw dishes are typically made from the stalks of wheat plants (which are naturally gluten-free) combined with a binding resin. While the straw itself shouldn’t contain gluten, the safety depends on how the product is processed. Some manufacturers may use wheat-based binders or process the straw in facilities that handle gluten, creating cross-contact risks. To be safe, I’d recommend reaching out to the company directly to ask: 1) If their wheat straw material is tested to confirm it’s free of gluten proteins, and 2) Whether the production line avoids cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients. Many brands now cater to gluten-free consumers and will provide detailed answers. If you’re uncomfortable with the uncertainty, alternatives like bamboo, ceramic, or glass dishes are inherently gluten-free and worry-free. Always better to double-check—your diligence is totally justified!

      I’m so sorry you’ve been struggling for so long without the answers or relief you deserve. It’s incredibly frustrating to have a celiac diagnosis yet still face debilitating symptoms, especially after decades of strict gluten-free living. Your history of chronic health issues—SIBO, food allergies, recurrent infections, and now potential complications like nerve pain (left leg) and mucosal ulcers—suggests there may be overlapping conditions at play, such as autoimmune comorbidities (e.g., Hashimoto’s, Sjögren’s), nutrient deficiencies, or even refractory celiac disease (though rare). Stanford is an excellent step forward, as their specialists may uncover missed connections. The medical gaslighting you’ve endured is unacceptable, and while legal action is an option, focusing on thorough testing (e.g., repeat endoscopy, micronutrient panels, autoimmune markers, skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis) might be more immediately helpful. Menopause can absolutely exacerbate underlying inflammation, so hormonal imbalances should also be explored. For symptom relief, some in the celiac community find low-dose naltrexone (LDN) or mast cell stabilizers helpful for systemic issues, but a functional medicine doctor (if accessible) could tailor supplements to your needs. You’re not alone in this fight—keep advocating fiercely at Stanford. Document everything meticulously; it strengthens both medical and potential disability claims. Sending you strength—this shouldn’t be so hard, and you deserve real solutions.

      Immunologist Referral if IgA Deficient

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since you have a confirmed celiac disease diagnosis alongside severe IgA deficiency, consulting an immunologist is a reasonable step to better understand the implications of your immune status. While many IgA-deficient individuals remain asymptomatic, the deficiency can occasionally be linked to increased susceptibility to infections, autoimmune conditions, or other immune-related concerns. An immunologist can assess whether additional monitoring or preventive measures (e.g., vaccinations, infection screening) are warranted. Given your location in Atlanta, academic medical centers like Emory University may have immunologists familiar with IgA deficiency, even if they don’t specialize exclusively in it. Telemedicine is also a great option—consider reaching out to specialists at institutions like the NIH, Mayo Clinic, or Cleveland Clinic, many of whom offer remote consultations. If you haven’t already, checking with the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) for provider recommendations might help. It’s always wise to gather expert insight, especially since celiac and IgA deficiency can coexist with other immune dysregulation.
