Red Lobster Allergen Menu New

I recieved an email today regarding Red Lobsters new alleregan menu. There are not that many things that are gluten free, but there are a few things. Steamed Lobster, Shrimp Scampi, and the best part CHEESECAKE! It is a crustless cheesecake. I think that is what I miss the most when dinning out is gluten free deserts. Can't wait to try it.

Here is the link to the new allergan menu. Make sure to read the astricks, as some things are marked as being gluten free, but there is a chance of CC when prepared. At least the company takes that into consideration when making the menu. Thank You Red Lobster!

Thanks for posting this. I will avoid Red Lobster like the plague. Any restaurant that can't provide broiled fish, broccoli, asparagus and a shrimp cocktail without adding wheat isn't a place where I'll spend my money. What on earth are they doing to the broccoli? :o

I was thinking the same thing. Crazy how they add gluten/wheat to naturally gluten free foods. Like asparagus and broccoli. My only thought is either its the seasoning or even more so I am guessing they blanch (spelling?) them in the boiling pasta water?

Unless there is a glutening fairy that comes at night and sprinkles gluteny particles on the veggies at Red Lobster's? I donno B) Weird though for sure. I will also not be dinning there..CC is to high and the idea that a simple veggie can't be gluten-free is crazy. Nope sorry Reb Lobster I know you tried...but try harder next time. :)

FYI I ate at Red Lobster last night and didn't experience any problems. They seemed to be very careful and I didn't get sick at all. I had snow crab legs, baked potato, and their cheesecake dessert!! I wouldn't avoid it like the plague at all. Although, it is weird you can't eat the asparagus or broccoli, must be a seasoning or something. Regardless, they do have some very good dishes to eat and who wants broccoli when you can actually eat the CHEESECAKE!

The last time I checked it was the seasoning that made the broccoli off limits. I ordered it one time and just said no seasoning. I didn't like their shrimp scampy because the shrimp is so small but I have had the snow crab legs without any problems. The cheesecake is real good.

Lobster nachos! Had this for lunch.

Also had the shrimp scampi, a salad and coleslaw. Didn't have the cheesecake because I didn't have time but I will try it next time.

So far no problem.

I tried to order the Lobster Nachos one time and was told it wasn't gluten free. I just looked at the menu and it appears that it is fried with wheat items. Did your Red Lobster have a dedicated frier? If so then I may try again but call around to find a Red Lobster that can offer it.

Thanks!

That's odd. I don't know if there is a dedicated fryer or not. All I know is it showed up gluten free on our menu and I ate it and had no problems and if I get glutened my stomach starts to gurgle within 30 minutes. Nothing happened. I will ask the next time I'm there.

Let me know as I thought it sounded really good.

Once I tried the cheese cake and it was to die for!

Thinking about this makes me want to go back...

My mom has celiac disease, and we went to Red Lobster a few weeks ago. Our waiter didn't seem to have much understanding about gluten-free items and didn't give us an allergy-free menu or anything. My mom found the one online, though, and ordered the shrimp scampi. However, 10 minutes later, our waiter came out and said that the shrimp scampi, in his words, "has little particles...in it" so should couldn't have it. He said that he could give it to her dry, without the sauce. She ultimately ended up getting a steak, but we were definitely disappointed in the lack of knowledge of the staff and the inconsistency with the online menu.

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Morgan Tiernan · Posted

      Hi all! Ive been away for a while navigating this new illness and also studying at university. But im back with so more updates and info, thank you all for your help and support.    Update: I suffered with an infection of my dermatitis herpetiformis a month or so ago. This resulted in a trip to a&e with an extremely swollen face, and a 2 week dose of doxycycline. Of course the infection went down but my dermatitis herpetiformis still remains to pop up every now and again. However, I’m coming up to almost a year being gluten free and I can honestly say the outbreaks are less often and more mild. But I’ve been eating extremely strict on a gluten-free diet (not much eating out and very cross...

      Does anyone else have seborrheic dermatitis

      By Morgan Tiernan · Posted

      Hi there! This is something I’ve often wondered too! I’m still going through the process of getting an official dermatitis herpetiformis diagnosis, however I’ve been battling for 3 years and the dermatologists are pretty certain it’s dermatitis herpetiformis/celiac disease with it’s classic appearance and symptoms (it’s nasty stuff!) About 2 years ago before dermatitis herpetiformis was on the cards, I suffered with a terrible episode of seb dermatitis, it was absolutely everywhere and was probs left undiagnosed for months before I could get in with a dermatologist! I used ketaconazole and it seemed to do the trick. However, knowing what we do now, the dermatitis herpetiformis was...

      Anyone understand genetic testing

      By JD-New to Celiac · Posted

      Although diagnosed with celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis, I was curious about the celiac genetics and had that testing done on my own. Unfortunately, the lab does not explain the results and any doctor I have asked said I would need to see someone specializing in genetics. I was hoping someone out there might help me understand. Here is what came back and although I understand the HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8, I wasn't sure what the variants mean and why they repeat twice. Someone said it was a double marker meaning both of my parents gave me copies. I also read having this combination makes my celiac potentially much worse. HLA DQ2 - Positive | HLA DQ8 - Negative HLA...

      What should tTG IgA be if Gluten Free?

      By JD-New to Celiac · Posted

      Understanding that normal is <15, I started off with 250+, then using the same lab it took two years to get to 11, the last test was 3. So, it jumped back up for some reason which is why I suspected gluten in my diet somewhere. I do not do dairy, eggs, oats, or soy. I am vegan and gluten free, and take numerous supplements with the help of this forum.
