Hello all:

I would like to ask those in this forum (and your friends/family) to help convince this restaurant chain start a gluten free menu. I have cut/pasted my email exchange with them below. You can see they are not in a rush to have a gluten-free menu (but maybe they are starting?). Please help by sending them an email and asking them to gring a gluten-free menu online ASAP!!!!!!!

Here is their response so far:

(My response to them is first)

Guest relations:

I am sorry to hear that. Several over national restaurants are ahead of the curve (Outback, PF changs) have already caught onto the need for this type of menu-I encourage your company to make it a priority.

I sent them an email a couple of weeks ago and they sent me the same reply. So, when I go on vacation next week I am not sure if I am going to bother going there. If they would have at least mentioned a few menu items that would be safe than I would have gone.

Exactly! Apparently they don't understand how important this is or how many people out there are affected. I never ate at a Outback in my life until I started a gluten-free diet and since then I've spent a lot of $$$ there!

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Thankyou because I met up with K B with well known bay area hospital once and she said she knows I don't like to take meds, I said thats incorrect, I have issues.Thats the one that said I was deemed " unruly " when she admitted I was celiac when I asked why am I going through this.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
