Tgi Fridays gluten-free Menu

I emailed TGI Fridays to find out what gluten-free options they offer, and I got an email back saying that I can ask for a gluten-free menu when I get to the restaurant. They don't have the menu online, and I'd like to know what my options are going to be before I get there. Does anyone know what is on their gluten-free menu?

I'm going to be traveling in a little while, and will be forced to eat out a lot for about a week. I'm just trying to come up with a few safe places to try.

Thanks!

I would be careful of cc, especially frying in the same oil as breaded stuff. Appleby's has a gluten-free menu that clearly states at the bottom that the fried items they listed as gluten-free aren't as they are fried with the many non gluten-free items.

We have a travel thread and a restaurant thread you might get some ideas from.

I was there recently (not my choice, but made do).....their "gluten free menu" was 2 pages of allergens which included wheat but not gluten. On the back page, there were "gluten intolerant" options. Mostly grilled things, salads, etc. There were several things to choose from, though. I had a steak, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. I did remind the server to please have them clean a section of the grill before cooking my steak and use clean utensils when putting the sides on my plate.

It was tasty, and I had no problems.

Thanks Patti. It's so strange that they don't put their allergen menu online, but at least I know I would have a couple of options if I got stuck there.

And thanks Kareng, I've been looking through the other boards too! :)

I wouldn't be at all at ease eating from the so-called gluten free menu at TGI Friday's. My experience there is that what's on the gluten-free menu online doesn't have anything to do with the current menu and the staff is not well trained. Eat there at higher risk than in some place like Outback (although cheaper).

Funny story! We went there when I was still undergoing testing. I forgot to ask the hostess so when the waiter came by I asked if they had a gluten free menu. He said no but they did have a list of allergens and apologized for not having a menu He then proceeded to tell me his daughter was gluten intolerant and we chatted a bit about the difficulty eating out. He brings me the menu and on the back page where options very clealy labeled as gluten free options. So, the waiter with a gluten intolerant child didn't even know they had a menu. I would definitely say the staff at our local restaurant was not trained. The options were limited. There are several other options near me that have an extensive gluten free menu so I am not in a rush to go back to Fridays but would likely try them again in the future when they have had a chance to get it better communicated across the staff.

Yeah, I'm not so thrilled with the idea of eating there, but it's one of my husband's favorites, and so I wanted to know if it was even a possibility.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.
