    FYI, Chipotle is a better choice (watch out for cc obviously). Their chips are fine, as is everything else, except for the flour tortilla. I eat there at least once per week (for years), never a reaction and I'm very sensitive.

    FYI: Mimi's has a gluten-free menu, but talk to the manager, the staff is sort of clueless at my location. I have gotten the broccoli/cheese omelette without incident (I can't remember if their potatoes are gluten-free). Another option is Original Pancake House, they have a separate grill for gluten-free pancakes and the meats are gluten-free too (always...

    Seems pretty simple to me. I patronize those restaurants that "get it", whether their Corporate HQ is interested in serving gluten-free patrons or not. For example, I gave Ted's Montana Grill 3 chances (2 different locations), I got cc'd twice. No need to write to Corporate, I just gave up giving them my business. If they were the only restaurant...

    Planter's Nuts (read label, but cashews are good) Snickers Nut Roll Mentos

    Colgate Sensitive, pink on box. Used for 2+ years, never an issue. Best.

    OK, you're new to this. We were all there once. It's been just over 3 years for me. I'm still learning too. That being said, you will grow to appreciate those folks (no matter where) who actually give a darn about your condition and don't want to CC you. My point being is that the longer you're gluten-free, the more you'll look back at your original post...

    Tried it here in CO. Super nice staff (kids), but they had NO training on CC or gluten-free proper prep. Yup, I DID get affected a few hours later. My wife makes tasty pizza anyways.....

    I took my daughter to one for a "regular" meal. While there I asked about their gluten-free policies and I got a completely blank stare in return. No Thanks!

    Outback is still my favorite "go to" restaurant. Never an issue, probably 12 times eating there since diagnosis. Love PF Chang's and Pei Wei. Chipotle is still my favorite, never cc'd, have eaten there 2x week for 3 years (CO locations are very clean, maybe not as clean elsewhere). Congrat's on being adventurous! It's a learning process, but you...

    So, the manager was smart enough to tell you that the chances of cross contamination was HIGH and you attempted to eat in a PIZZA restaurant.....and you're upset? Seriously, be thankful he saved you from your lack of common sense. Sorry to be harsh, but it's folks that make life difficult for those in the restaurant industry who actually care, that makes...

    Just my two cents: I do think being in a heavily "infested" wheat harvest area may be an issue. I live in Denver and it's often windy here too, you can see the dirt and pollen being blown for miles. Remember, you have to INGEST the wheat to cause your Gastro symptoms, not simply "be around it". If it's that busy of an Agricultural area, this may be fairly...

    Worst: Anything made by EnerG Most anything made by Glutino 99% of the bread I've tried Best: Anything UDI's Slightly undercooked Tinkyada Pamela's Cookies & Pancake Mix (use skim milk instead of water)

    Cool, I've seen 'em but haven't tried 'em yet. Udi's has rolled out their crusts, best I've had! BTW, just had KK's animal cookies. Sweet, vanilla tasting, lighter cookies. Good stuff. I've been pretty happy with all KK products.
  14. CeliacAndCfsCrusader
    First of all, welcome to the life you never expected! Seriously, you'll adapt and there are TONS more choices out there since I was diagnosed 3 years ago. You'll find that even the best of places make mistakes. The key is to accept it and to take baby steps as you venture out into the gluten-free world. This Forum is a fantastic resource for EVERYTHING...

    I think it's safe to assume that just about everything has soy sauce and/or Teriyaki sauce as the base. Too much risk of CC in my opinion. For sweet, juicy chicken we get a Costco chicken and make our own sauce at home. Best.

    Let me guess, your doc SELLS JuicePlus, right? IMO, JP is a scam. ANY product that is sold via Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is always overpriced, underperforming and a waste of $$. Sorry, but if the product(s) is so good, they'd be sold EVERYWHERE. A company wouldn't need to do it through folks that have to recruit their relatives and friends to buy...

    It's been 2 1/2 years since my diagnosis. 20 years undiagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. My biopsy showed "severe" damage. I feel much better, but I doubt my intestines will ever be the same. The longer I'm off the gluten, the more sensitive I become. ANY CC will get me. Just happened at Ted's Montana Grill on Saturday, even though I ordered the most...

    There might still be a PF Changs within Planet Hollywood Resort (there was when it was The Aladdin). There's a Chipotle at the very end of the South Strip, past Mandalay Bay on the East side of the street in a small shopping center. Never had a problem there. Most breakfast buffets will let you build your own omelet, but the rest of the meal would be...

    Usually would, but the first visit the Manager came over to apologize, but was rather indifferent about the whole thing. I might still send a note, but I've written them off. Sorry Ted, you're all fluff and nothing to back it up.
  20. CeliacAndCfsCrusader
    It's my "go to" special occasion restaurant. I've been probably 10 times in 2+ years and have had ZERO problems. I usually get the baked potato, ribeye and veggies. Make sure you remind them as you order and when you receive the plate (sometimes not your own server). Dessert is a bonus and is always tasty too. Here in CO they have a "mini portion" of...

    Which one did you just try?
  22. CeliacAndCfsCrusader
    Going in two weeks here in Denver because of all the positive postings here and elsewhere. Cannot wait!
  23. CeliacAndCfsCrusader
    Dear Ted's- Thanks for going to the trouble of creating a gluten-free Menu, but I've given you 3 chances over the past year and you've CC'd 2 of those 3 times. The first trip you put a regular dinner biscuit on my plate of food. The second visit, your server had no idea about gluten-free dining (although I managed to escape without incident after I...
  24. CeliacAndCfsCrusader
    I'd try one flavor. Then another and so on. Just keep in mind that you will always get the occasional CC issue. Learn who and what foods you can trust. YOu'll have your "go to" list and feel a lot better about eating out. I'm super careful too.
  25. CeliacAndCfsCrusader
    Too much stress IMO to ask or have confidence there will be no CC on the slicer. I buy the Hormel Natural line, wait for it to go on sale and you can freeze it too. Surprisingly, the roast beef is actually really good. Don't be thrown off by the appearance in the package. Ham and turkey varieties are excellent. Works out about the same $$ per lb...
