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.

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
