I haven't been there since my diagnosis, but when I contacted corporate I got a definite negative on being able to prepare a gluten free meal. I've steered clear due to their lack of cooperation. However, they did transfer me to their R&D team to place a request for a gluten free menu. I recommend you call and request a menu. If enough of us call, hopefully they'll make one for us.

When I called the corporate office, I got the same response as Ghulia. However, I called and spoke with the manager of my local Fridays. She assured me that they could accomodate me. She seemed to know what I was talking about, suggesting to me that they could clean a section of the grill, and also suggesting various menu items that would work for me. I felt confident enough to go. I requested the manager come to the table while ordering. I ordered a sirloin steak and steamed brocolli (wanted to make it as simple as possible). Everything was great! I felt fine afterward. I should add that I have been gluten-free for 1 year, and this was only the second time I have eaten out. I will definately go back to this Friday's. I would suggest that you call the actual Friday's you plan to visit, and talk to the manager there.

Here is the email response I received last year when I asked about a gluten-free menu.

Thank you for visiting our website. As for the difference in menus, unfortunately there are some variations due to regions and franchises.

In the interest of providing our guests with regional food preferences we have different food items available in different areas of the country. Not all items will be available in every area.

I appreciate your comments and hope to see you soon at T.G.I. Friday's.

Sincerely,

Brian

I recently ate at our local Friday's with my 6 yo who is on a gluten free diet. They baked her fries since they do not have dedicated fryers and ensured us that the BBQ suace on her ribs was gluten free. She did not have a breakout afterward (DH). We definately will be going back.

I stick with the obviously gluten free stuff and have not had any problems.

I had a bad experience at my local Friday's and won't go back - however, I have so many foods to avoid, I am amazed when a chain or even any restaurant will actually cook for me - Friday's just isn't one of them.

      Muscle atrophy in legs

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Polymyositis is a rare autoimmune disease that makes your immune system attack your muscles. Any autoimmune disease is associated with low vitamin D.   Even as a kid I had weak legs.  Now I feel the burn just walking to the mailbox. A case-control study found that patients with polymyositis (PM) had higher lactate levels at rest and after exercise, indicating impaired muscle oxidative efficiency. The study also found that an aerobic training program reduced lactate levels and improved muscle performance.

      Micronutrient Inadequacies in the US Population "A US national survey, NHANES 2007-2010, which surveyed 16,444 individuals four years and older, reported a high prevalence of inadequacies for multiple micronutrients (see Table 1). Specifically, 94.3% of the US population do not meet the daily requirement for vitamin D, 88.5% for vitamin E, 52.2% for magnesium, 44.1% for calcium, 43.0% for vitamin A, and 38.9% for vitamin C. For the nutrients in which a requirement has not been set, 100% of the population had intakes lower than the AI for potassium, 91.7% for choline, and 66.9% for vitamin K. The prevalence of inadequacies was low for all of the B vitamins and several minerals, including copper, iron, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, and zinc (see Table 1). Moreover, more than 97% of the population had excessive intakes of sodium, defined as daily intakes greater than the age-specific UL" My Supplements: Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg  (Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels in the body decrease steadily with age, reaching 10–20% of young adult levels by age 70. DHEA is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that the body uses to create androgens and estrogens.) 500 mcg Iodine 10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg Selenium twice a week 200 mcg

      The paleo diet is based on the idea that the human body evolved to consume a balanced ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and that the modern diet is out of balance. A healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1:1–4:1, while the modern diet is closer to 20:1–40:1. The paleo diet aims to restore this balance.

      Hey all!

      Best thing you can do for them! First-degree family members (parents, siblings, children), who have the same genotype as the family member with celiac disease, have up to a 40% risk of developing celiac disease. Make sure you and they get enough vitamin D and iodine in their diet.   Iodine deficiency is a significant cause of mental developmental problems in children, including implications on reproductive functions and lowering of IQ levels in school-aged children. Vitamin D deficiency is common in the United States, affecting up to 42% of the population.

      Thanks. I ve joined coeliac uk but found them particularly unhelpful - they told me to eat gluten for 6 weeks then have an  endoscopy! I m actually a retired hospital dietician so pretty well know what I m doing…… Louise
