    I did reread your reply and I came back with the same impression--I was not able to eat with Outback managers and it has been more than 2 experiences in 2 years. I actually googled and came up with some Outback experiences that I had had that I I'd forgotten about. I was not bashing as you say Outbacks, I was providing a pithy response for people that was...

    I, too, have had the pleasure of eating at the Savannah one and it is NOT my local Outback. So glad that you have had positive experiences, but I have not--and I complained on the corporate site with the local manager responding (St. Clairsville, Ohio store if you all want to know which restaurant). Obviously, you are somehow in the Outback circle with...

    if you ever come to Northern part of West Virginia, I'll cook something for you. And i saw at my local Big Lot's store Nutrisystem meals that are gluten free. Maybe you could bring some with you.

    Just ate again yesterday at PF Changs in Pittsburgh (Homestead) without a problem. However, it took me months to go back again after an incident last December--I think the waitress deliberately put hair in my and my daughter's meals. Don't even say come on....it was busy...she got nasty when I told her that all but one of needed gluten-free menus, then...

    I tried it last year, we had it delivered for a few months. Then the flavors really became very I don't know vitaminy tasting. Yuck.... We did like the chews in the car for hiking, but that's when my teenage daughter didn't/wouldn't eat nuts. Now that she does, finding energy bars or things for her/us.

    We went to a festival yesterday, only 2 vendors. So we got in line to get the potatoes and asked for a steak hoagie without the bun just put in the little styrofoam. Both women repeated they couldn't do that. I kept saying I have "an allergy to wheat". No dice. I mean how tough would it have been to put the same amount of meat into a container...

    After being glutened for the 2nd time in a little over 2 years at the Outback, I sent them an email detailing why I was peeved. It took the manager over 2 wks to respond to me and he basically took no blame just that the Outback gets compliments all the time regarding their gluten free menu and how the waitress had just returned to work after being off for...

    Initially, that's what the #1 complaint that we kept going to the doctors for my DS now 15. He ended up with vomiting, ADHD, diarrhea, acne.... He's been gluten-free for almost 2 yrs and no night sweats, stomach issues gone, ADHD gone--we're just dealing with normal teenage issues. Amen! Oh and at first we had to eliminate sulphites and milk products...

    I must have been tired when I typed that--I must've meant throw her into the mix....?? Being an ex-librarian, I'm into research and they say to eat fermented foods--yogurt, kraut, etc to keep appendicitis at bay, but she was the yogurt queen--not the sugary stuff--the good greek kind and she took a probiotic pill, too. I'm thinking maybe they should...

    I see this is an old, old thread, but thrown my daughter just turned 17 into the just had her appendix out. I, too, was wondering if there was an connection.

    I've tried a different brand, the name escapes me, but with sauce on them, they were okay. But maybe it was all in my head, I was hungry about an hour after eating them. They don't have much of a taste at all--so in way, that's good.
  12. minniejack
    Ditto to hoping your daughter feels better. My entire family of 4 needs to be gluten-free and we've been on the diet for almost 2 yrs. The 1st couple of months, it seemed my grocery bills were enormous. But now that I know what to look and how to cook, our food bills are about the same. We are eating healthier and when you factor in that we don't...

    I just saw my old post and comments. It's kind of funny in the past two weeks--this is August now--six months after my sister telling my DD that she didn't have problems--my dear sister has called me 2x. the first to tell me about the gluten free bisquick at Kroger and that they had King Arthur gluten free flour, too. And 2 days ago, to tell me that Sam...

    For months, I couldn't tolerate xantham gum and even 2 yrs later, still have problems with too much corn. (every once in a while Fritos corn chips call my name and I just have to eat a bunch, you know?)

    just returned last week and for the most part--wonderful!! You can read my experience on the disboards Open Original Shared Link

    After being gluten free for almost 2 yrs, my son 14 almost 15 decided he wanted to eat gluten again. I let him--he didn't vomit, no mad rush to bath room. BUT...he's back to the arguing, repeating things over and over and over, obsessing over wants. Iphone4, Iphone4, Iphone4....and no, it's not just teenage begging and then sleeping incessantly. I...

    I was on www.disboards.com and asked our their adventures by Disney was as far as tours and specifically dietary and was very encouraged by the great responses
  18. minniejack
    Hi, I know there is a whole foods close to Disney, but I'm planning on specifically doing Disney in 3 weeks just because of what I've read and heard about their gluten free dining. Go to www.Disboards.com then the disabilities section and there are a couple of threads specifically about people's experiences with gluten free dining. I personally can't wait...

    Highly 2nd Abuelo's--very yummy. Greg Norman's was safe (I was told the chef would come--he/she did not, then when I questioned several items, the waiter was clueless so I'm saying it was safe because we lucked out) Here's a link to a thread from last summer: hope it helps--it jogged my memory and made me want to be there right now!!!

    Wow! This is by far the most fantastic gluten free dining experience in two years. The restaurant sits at the top of a high apartment building in Mount Washington so the view is breathtaking of the city. The elevator whisks you from the parking level straight to the restaurant--me who is afraid of heights did have to grab the side of the car as the glass...

    Still not there, BUT!!! Just got a phone call from the club level at the Yacht club and they directed me to their chef. Drum Roll please....The Chef said that when I checked in either he or a member of his staff would walk me through what is safe in the lounge and because the majority of the items are not safe, then we would go over what food items we would...

    there's a pretty good primer on this site on vitamins--wish I'd have paid attention about the B vitamins--just now started taking supplements and wow what a difference in all 4 of us. https://www.celiac.com/articles/1109/1/Celiac-Disease-Alternative-Medicine/Page1.html

    quick reminder though: Gluten Free is not Calorie Free Trust me my hips learned that lesson over the winter and now I'm paying to remove those extra pounds from the fudge, the glutino "oreos", the cookies made just from pb and brown sugar....

    i wish this were so, but this was a couple of years ago. Actually, we live in the upper Northern Panhandle, smashed between southeastern Ohio and Southwestern Pa--with Pittsburgh exactly 45 mins away. Usually, people in this area see themselves as somewhat separate from the rest of the state--we tend to think politically different, have more education...

    Saw a doctor friend in line one day and was going on and on about the miracle of gluten free and why, oh why, doesn't more doctors know about this. She said there is only a small chapter and barely touched on in college and that I know more than she does (she went to med school about 20 yrs ago). They really need to rewrite the books.
