Thought I would contribute my 2 cents to this forum.

I live in Central and Southern Indiana, so hopefully this will help some fellow Hoosiers!

Scotty's Brewhouse

gluten-free Menu: 1 page in their main menu

Options: about 4 or 5 plus all of their burgers without buns

Best Choice: Macho Nachos with Chicken or their pineapple salsa Talapia

Times Glutened: 0 to 1

They are very careful and generally ask you if this is for a real gluten allergy (I humor them and just say yes, rather not take the time explaining it to them). When they bring your food to you it always has an American Flag toothpick to designate it as gluten-free. I have been going there a lot as I feel safest with them and they know me really well now!

PF Changs

gluten-free Menu: 1 page in their main menu

Options: 10 to 15

Best Choice: N/A have only went their once

Times Glutened: 0

Very careful, so much so that their gluten-free food has its own platters. Overall, the food was alright, a little underseasoned.

Outback

gluten-free Menu: A totally Seperate Menu

Options: Numerous

Best Choice: Its Outback, most are good

Times Glutened: I have only been there 1 times since I went gluten-free, and I felt a little off after eating there. I am unsure if it was their doing, or something else.

Overall, the waiter I had was very knowledgable and assured me their cooking staff was as well.

Ruby Tuesdays

gluten-free Menu: Plastic Binder for people with Allergies; overall, it was pretty pitiful.

Options: Many, but they were usually without many key ingredients. i.e. lobster w/o lemon butter

Best Choice: N/A was not impressed with the salmon

Times Glutned: 0

Overall, they tried to be helpful, but they honestly did not act like they really cared about my gluten-free needs.

i got glutened at pf changs 1x :( i think it was an accident- a BIG accident. we actually went 3 times in one month cause it was so damn delicious!!! the first time was on a wednesday, not busy.. got the beef fried rice & singapore street noodles off the gluten-free menu- NO problem at all- perfectly fine.

we went back that saturday- and were totally glutened- so much so, that im sure the beef fried rice was made with regular gluten filled sauce., but also got the gluten-free chocolate dome for the first time.

went back a 3rd time- and felt fine.

ive been wanting to go talk with the manager- make sure they dont have some crazy employee like Damien Cardone back there... i hope it will be ok from now on- cause the food is so delish!!!

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.
    • Scott Adams
      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
