Discrepencies In Paper And Online Menu At Outback

Went to outback yesterday (only my 2nd visit ever). Found that the paper menu had changed at this location and doesn't include some of the favorites (or at least what I was planning on ordering) . HOWEVER online they are still listed as gluten free. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Some of the items on the paper menu not listed gluten-free anymore were alice springs chicken, roasted garlic mashed potatoes and the chocolate thunder from down under.

I have written them the following letter and will post the info when I recieve any about it. I just don't want others to be as disapointed as I was on my visit. If you have any info on the changes let me know.

I visited a Outback location yesterday and the menu that they had was different from the online menu. I had visited that location previously and had ordered the alice springs chicken and garlic mashed potatoes.

This time when I went the gluten free menu did not list them as being gluten-free. It also did not list the chocolate thunder from down under with a gluten-free labeling beside it.

I am now confused and very disapointed in my visit. I live over an hour away from any outback location and had went specifically to have the mashed potatoes and chicken. However the trip was basically a waste because of the menu discrepencies.

I would like to know which menu is correct the online menu or the paper menu at the restaurant. I am not happy with my long disapointing trip to outback.

Sincerely,

Here is the quick response that I got from them. Clears up my question, but not my waste of time and money on an overpriced hamburger patty and baked potato. GRRR <_<

Good Day,

I'm very sorry - an oversight was made by our printer.

Our gluten-free menu that is listed on our website is correct - the Alice Springs

Chicken and Garlic Mashed Potatoes along with the Chocolate Thunder from

Down Under are Gluten Free.

Again, I apologize and appreciate your e-mail to help us correct this oversight.

Thank you,

Lilah

I would send a copy of both the letter and response to the location you ate at. The location should give you a gift certificate or some other incentive to try their establishment again. It is hard enough to find places to eat when you need gluten free and you should be able to enjoy the Outback.

I called the location where I had eaten and told them about the menu mixup. The manager thanked me and appologized and after I kinda drew out the phone call he said he would send me a gift cert to try it again! ha Yeah!! I get to go back to outback (says the poor college grad)

Save room for the chocolate thunder from down under!

I hope you have a great time.

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By RMJ · Posted

      Celiac testing often includes looking at total IgA levels, because if someone is deficient the IgA tests for celiac disease may not be accurate (false negatives).  Did her doctors say anything about how much gluten she should consume?  If you change that it could affect her next test results.

      @mytype1diabetes, Do keep in mind that Celiac Disease is genetic, so all first degree relatives (parents, siblings) should be checked for celiac disease as well.   Thiamine deficiency is common in breastfeeding mothers and their babies, even in countries where people are well fed and eat healthy.  A high carbohydrate diet requires more thiamine to turn those calories into energy.  Mothers on a high carbohydrate diet can be deficient in thiamine which also causes the infant to be deficient. DKA is found in children with thiamine deficiency.   Thiamine deficiency correction is part of DKA treatment. Thiamine deficiency needs to be addressed and corrected quickly and maintained.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test for thiamine deficiency. I've experienced this myself.  Diabetics continue to lose thiamine due to poor renal uptake. Thiamine should be supplemented daily.  Thiamine is a constant in my life which helps immensely with my diabetes.   References: Thiamine deficiency in pregnancy and lactation: implications and present perspectives https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10158844/ Pediatric thiamine deficiency disorders in high‐income countries between 2000 and 2020: a clinical reappraisal https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9290709/ Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ The Impact of Thiamine Treatment in the Diabetes Mellitus   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3376872/#:~:text=Low plasma thiamine level was,increase in thiamine transporter expression.

      Thanks for this Wends and appreciate your insights! I'm not sure what you mean by "Your toddler is unlikely igA deficient with a titer of 22, as a positive test." ? I had a look at Dr Bernstein's work and we've definitely noticed that on lower carb days her blood glucose levels are much easier to manage. Our nutritionist advised against a low carb diet for toddlers as they said young children, unlike adults, rely on carbs for their growth and development. What's your view on this? Regarding malabsorption - it's so hard to know what's "normal". My daughter's poos have always been on the softer side as she's breastfed and we eat very healthily. I've booked an appointment with our GP and will take some photos!

      Thank you all for your kind wishes, it means so much. The information you've all shared has been so useful. We have a great diabetes team and trust the consultants decision to wait a few months to repeat the blood test. We also don't want to put her through any more tests than she needs as it's so tough on her and us! It feels unbearable waiting when she has some unexplained symptoms and as her mum I want to make sure we're doing everything we can to keep her healthy. That's interesting re: iron levels. I hadn't thought about that but I'm pretty sure this would've been checked as she was in hospital with DKA and they did lots of tests. I have requested a copy of her results.

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!
