Help! Gf Fries At Any Restaurant (not Fast Food)?


Guest Annie74

Recommended Posts

Guest Annie74

Hi all! I need some help for Sunday night. My inlaws insist on taking us out to dinner on Sunday even though our 4 year old with celiac disease is super picky and I cannot find a restaurant that will work. All I need to know is a place that has gluten-free fries and we will be set! A place like a Fridays, Ruby Tuesdays, etc.

Can anyone help me?? Please!!

Outback fries actually are gluten-free and at many Outbacks they are cooked in dedicated fryers. They are not listed as gluten-free because this isn't true at all and because in some the fryers are too close to each other. You'd have to check with your local Outback.

Pack him his own food if you MUST go. Thats the simplest method. But I have had good luck wth Sante Fe Stake house, and Alabama Grill... but I dont order fries from any one anymore cept ones I make my self.

Guest Annie74

I will call our Outback, thanks Richard!

I could pack him his own food but really want him to feel "normal" and have something he can order like the rest of us, you know? If there are gluten-free fries out there he would love to eat them!

I am surprised that there are not more places that use separate fryers.

Thanks Richard, i didn't know that outback fries are often gluten-free, ill call the local outback..annie..most restaurants don't use separate fryers..but could your son get mashed potatoes instead of fries? they are often gluten-free but you still have to ask..mcds fries are cookied in separate fryers but i'm sure you don't want to go there for dinner..

Guest Annie74

He won't eat mashed potatoes. Or most other food that we could order him that's gluten-free. He's a real pain about trying stuff and we have sllllooooooooowlyy made progress with his diet at home but eating out is another story, he just wants fries or big corn chips. Sigh. Since he eats decent at home I dont mind buying him crap like that for dinner when we occasionally go out, you know?

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
