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.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
