Glutened At Salad Bars

I have been ordering the French Country Salad at CHeesecake Factory thinking it was safe. I eliminated the candied pecans and the goat cheese and had chopped egg and chopped apples instead. I ate the asparagus and the beets. After several attempts at ordering it, the waiter finally told me that the beets were not gluten-free. They were glazed. Ah HA!!! moment for me.

I recently went to Ruby Tuesdays and they told me the same thing- the beets are glazed. Anyone have any problems. I am just sticking with the chick peas, the red and yellow peppers, olives, and hardboiled eggs to put on top of the spinach and red lettuce mix. anyone have any similar stories or issues with so-called "safe" foods at restaurants and salad bars?

Sorry, no. "Glazed" doesn't shout "gluten" to me. I learn so much on this board. Thank you for sharing!

What about the dressing?

I'm afraid that 'glazed' does shout gluten to me. Recently got glutened by a spice rub. Anything that sticks to food probably has gluten in it. sigh

Cheesecake Factory is in the process of re- doing their soon-to-be released allergy menu for people that are gluten intolerant, soy, eggs etc. The

waiter had an old un released version and found that the beets are not safe for celiacs.

I use the balsamic and olive oil for dressing. even then, I have to check the balsamic vinegar because the CF uses one that has caramel coloring and the product is from Italy. it never ends it seems. now I have to find out if caramel coloring in vinegar is safe etc.....

is the CF really making an allergen menu?? or at least labelling their items gluten-free or not?? that makes me really happy

& isnt caramel coloring from corn??? that was my understanding from reading on these forums... but i could be wrong... & i also didnt think they added caramel color to balsamic vinegar??? hmmmm

yes, CF has been working on one for quite some time, but apparently they got some things wrong and had to make some corrections but it is on the

way to being released soon. It is a gluten-free as well as soy dairy and egg allergy sensitive as well.

my understanding is that in Europe, caramel coloring can be derived from sources other than corn. most of it in the us is corn-based. someone clarify if

you happen to read this thread.....

can't wait for the CF gluten free menu. I am hoping they will come out w a specific dessert for us like they have at PF Changs.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
