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!

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
