Hard Rock Cafe - Warning

Tonight I went to the Hard Rock Cafe in Houston. When I inquired about a gluten-free menu they didn't have one. They did ask in the kitchen and I decided to go with a salad. They told me that they had a bunch of new gluten-free baked goods and that they now could make the brownie sundae gluten-free. So, of course, I jumped on the chance to have a brownie! It tasted decadent! But, 20 minutes later I was totally symptomatic. I'm doubting the authenticity of the gluten-free nature of that brownie. It could have been some other cross-contamination or something but I'm going with the most obvious offender. Just be forewarned.

Wow! Sounds like they outright LIED to you! I did a search and found this thread from 2007:

Apparently they used to have a gluten free menu (before 2007) and pulled it. That alone speaks volumes about this place. And I don't know if you are new to the gluten-free lifestyle, but for future reference when a place doesn't have a gluten free menu there no chance in H-E-double hockey sticks that they have gluten free brownies just kicking around in the kitchen (or the ingredients to make gluten free brownies). I'm so sorry they pulled that on you and I hope you feel better soon.

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
