I am new to all this. I just found out a month ago. I have a 5year old and myself that has it. I am looking for local restrants that have gluten free item so when out my family have a option of eating out instead of going home.

Olive Garden, Red Lobster ( I think you have to call ahead) Chili's, Applebee's.

Basically any chain restaurant will either have a gluten free menu, or you can find menu items online. Make sure you let your server know about your issues.

I don't think Red Lobster and Applebees are good! Both have a disclaimer on their websites that they can not guarantee cross contamination and that people with food allergies should order with caution. Neither has a gluten-free menu.

PF Changs has a gluten-free menu.

I don't think any restaurant that isn't completely gluten free can guarantee there won't be cross contamination.

True, but I have read here that those two are not good places to eat if you need gluten-free. I don't know much about Red Lobster. I don't like seafood and am allergic to oysters so wouldn't attempt to eat there. But Applebees? They have wheat in their chicken! Everything comes frozen.

Olive Garden has some gluten-free options. The pasta is safe because it comes already made and just has to be heated. You do have to watch the salad though. We asked for no croutons and there was one on top of our salad. They will also give you bread even if you ask for gluten-free.

Outback restaurant has a gluten free menu. I've eaten there several times, and had very good experiences. I hope this would be the same at each Outback site, but I've only eaten at the one in our area.

I wonder if eating gluten free would be easier at a small, family owned restaurant, or at a big chain? Any thoughts?

We prefer the small, family owned places. They will usually work with us and they remember us. Of course it helps that we tend to order the same thing all the time. We have multiple food allergies so really no choice.

We eat at Cielito Lindo (my son always gets hard tacos), Ruby Tuesday, Buffalo Wild Wings, Fuddruckers.

As of this spring, Bud & Walt's Pizza & Pasta in Nixa now serves gluten-free pizza. I think they also can provide gluten-free salads and will cook your gluten-free pasta and add their sauces, etc, and were planning to add gluten-free brownies. My son just cares about the pizza - we've been there twice in the past month.

I have found the more upscale restaurants to be better able to care for me. I mean the ones with a chef as opposed to a cook. In those places each dinner is usually made to order, so it is easy to leave off something or substitute an ingerdient. I have frequebtly had waiters take my "dining card" to the chef, who then reccommends one or a few items from the menu.

Question???? We are going to an Italian restaurant tonight, one I've never been to. It'll be safest for me to have a salad, but is Caesar Salad safe? Without the croutons, of course. We are meeting people there, was not my choice for dinner out. Thanks!

Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body. Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Is this celiac?

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months. Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl. Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover. It will hit your Lympatic system and spread through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn...

      Is this celiac?

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
