I spoke with a manager at our local Chicago cheesecake factory yesterday and he had just received a phone call from corporate advising him that in 6 months Cheesecake Factory would be launching a new gluten free menu.

That's is interesting. I loved the Cheesecake Factory. I just hope they take proper precautions while preparing the meals. Who knows when it's new. I probably wouldn't eat there for a few months after they first started... haha.

We went to the Cheesecake Factory in Kansas City, MO for dinner on Sat., July 31. We specifically mentioned that my husband is very sensitive to Gluten and please make sure his order is gluten free when we ordered. My husband ordered the steak and steamed broccoli and asked for no seasoning but salt and pepper. The steak was great. However, when my husband worked on the broccoli in the separate dish, he saw a piece of noodle in the bottom of the dish. So, we asked for the manager about how exactly the broccoli was prepared. He told us that the broccoli was actually boiled in the noodle pot, but he could ASSURE us that my husband shouldn't feel a thing due to his experience of serving other Gluten free customers the same broccoli. He didn't apologize for the mistake at all but told us that we could call back to the restaurant if my husband did feel ill the next day. I was very upset by his attitude of careless and neglect. My husband started feeling fatigue and foggy headed on the way home. He had a important business meeting on Monday and he needed to prepare for the seminar he was giving. At that point, he had no condition to do any preparation. I filed a complaint through the corporate website. All we wanted is for them to aware of the problem and admit their mistake. How else are they going to learn about Gluten?! How can we trust the "Gluten Free" menu if they didn't know what it mean?!

I wish I had known before you went. That one messed up regular orders that aren't gluten-free so I would not expect them to handle special requests well.

I've always been led to believe that Cheesecake Factorys were not safe for any celiac because they refused to offer up any gluten free items. Your husband is much more daring then I ever have been in my 6 1/2 years as a Celiac...especially if I know that I have something important to do that week..you wouldn't catch me eating out anywhere! It's nice that they are considering a gluten free menu but until they do a complete overhaul of their kitchen and how it operates, I doubt I'll try it.

We went to Cheesecake Factory today for my son's birthday. When we were seated I asked if they had a gluten-free menu and the waitress said they didn't have anything gluten-free. I asked, specifically, nothing gluten-free? She said besides the salads, dry, they couldn't offer me anything. I was so put off by this statement, "they couldn't offer me anything." I asked about the salad dressing, ranch and she said every one of their dressings had gluten. She asked me if I really needed gluten-free, I wanted to get up and walk out but didn't because I wasn't going to spoil my 6 year olds day. I ended up ordering the Ahi salad, dry. It contained lettuce, tomato, avocado and ahi. It was good, even with EVOO and Balsamic but the lack of help just about killed me. On a $100 bill, she got a small tip. I get every restaurant won't provide a gluten-free menu but the lack of menu support by the staff is the part that kills me.

Wouldn't you rather they be honest then attempt to help you out and you get sick from it? I know that I would!

      For minor aches and pains, my go to is Original Alka-Seltzer.  Aspirin and bicarbonate.  It is dissoved in water before you swallow it so no tablets to aggravate the stomach wall.  The bicarbonate buffers the stomach acid for upset stomach. Willow bark contains a chemical called salicin, which is similar to aspirin. It has pain and fever reducing effects in the body. The last time I took Advil for serious pain it spiked my BP to 190. Some blood pressure medications have been linked to rib pain or musculoskeletal pain as a side effect.  I had to stop Atnenolol because it had me bent over like a 90 year old with a walker.  Another med prescribe by my doctor left my knees unstable.  Currently, Losartan has weakened my back and thighs.  Can't walk to my mailbox at the street and back without having to rest my legs.  Upper body is however increasing muscle mass.  No one believes me though; think I'm malingering.  Those blood pressure meds also had no effect on my BP, but doctor wants me to continue on (man up, its good for you, with the Losartan + clonidine.  What has been working is Clonidine.  It has lowered my BP. but it is considered third tier BP med.  No side effects and it lowers my BP from 160+ to between 115 and 139.

      @bold-95, welcome to the forum. Rib pain can be caused by Chondritis, an inflammation of the cartilage in the ribcage or breastbone.  Vitamin D deficiency causes this condition and Osteopenia. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small intestine, making absorption of nutrients like vitamins difficult.  Nutritional deficiencies result.  Diseases can be caused by not having enough of certain vitamins and minerals. Vitamins are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from food or supplements.  Vitamins are crucial to our bodies functioning properly.  Eating a nutritionally dense diet is important, but to correct nutritional deficiencies, supplemental vitamins are needed.   Over the counter pain relievers like NSAIDs and PPIs can cause additional inflammation and damage to the small intestine.  OTC pain relievers worked for me but they hurt my digestive system worse.  Yes, Cobalamine Vitamin B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 have an analgesic effect when taken together.   I'm leaving links below so you can see for yourself.   Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins.     https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/#:~:text=Disregarding pain resulting from vitamin,three are given in combination.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/   B Vitamins in the nervous system: Current knowledge of the biochemical modes of action and synergies of thiamine, pyridoxine, and cobalamin https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31490017/   Role of B vitamins, thiamine, pyridoxine, and cyanocobalamin in back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33865694/   The Combination of Neurotropic Vitamins B1, B6, and B12 Enhances Neural Cell Maturation and Connectivity Superior to Single B Vitamins https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11987730/

      Diana, I replied “ready,” but I’m brand new to the site and don’t know if I replied via the correct place.  I would like to participate.

      Luke warm bath (deep) with a handful of Epsom salts, and bath for about 20 minutes.  Be careful getting out of the bathtub, the magnesium (Epsom salts) can make you feel a bit woozy.  I've suffered from costochondritis, might be what you have?  I find rest very helpful, and avoid any foods that bloat you as this can put added pressure on the ribcage.
