Skipper, at least he replied back to you! A few of places I have emailed regarding products have not even bothered to get back to me. I just feel so anti towards them, I boycott their products.

Maybe you have made them think about the information you requested and they may look into the matter now. He did say he wished he could help more, but that might've been a cop out.

Just remember you received an acknowledgement to your letter, even if you did not appreciate the answer.

My 25 yr old nephew said he walked into cheddars about 2 months ago and they offered him a gluten free menu. Only because of me did he know what they were talking about.

After he left, I immediately called there, sat on hold for over 10 minutes waiting for the woman to find out if they were or not. She came back on the line and I'm still not sure if she knew what I was talking about.

Then about 2 wks ago, I was talking to my nephew and he again said that he was there and they again offered him the gluten menu.

I'm going to have to go check this place out physically and find out what's going on.

I emailed Cheddar's about gluten-free options and received the response below from their VP of Culinary Operations. It took a while to hear back from them, but I'm glad that they sent an intelligent and thorough response. :)

-------------------------------------------------

There are none of our appetizers that I would recommend for you as all have some amounts of wheat flour in them, the same goes for our soups.

Salads without croutons, tortilla strips and the included croissant would be safe with oil and vinegar on the side.

Safe entrees would include Lemon Pepper Chicken, Grilled Salmon, Tilapia, Key West Chicken, Steak (without the onion straws), burgers without buns (except the smokehouse burger- the onion straws again), Grilled Catfish and Ribs without sauce.

All of our side dishes except Broccoli Casserole are gluten free.

Again, we are a scratch kitchen that does do a lot of hand battering (with flour containing ingredients) so the possibility of contamination does exist. Depending on the severity of your condition you may consider this whenever eating out.

I hope this provides you with enough information to come and enjoy Cheddar

That's so funny. I tried the grilled salmon on a whim and didn't have any problems so that is what I have always eaten when I go there. Glad to know I was okay eating it :) The response is helpful. I might have to try something else!

Just an update on this, I wouldn't trust those menu items. The manager told me the key west chicken is marinated in teriyaki sauce, but he was very helpful in letting me know what I could order or what they could do to make certain things gluten-free.

Since the original post is almost 6 years old, things may have changed with this restauraunt chain. I know we got one recently. My parents had loved one they went to a few years before in another city. They went a few months ago & the menu was different and they were disappointed. Nothing to do with the gluten-free menu for them, just som of thier old favorites weren't on the menu or were different.

I was just making sure. When you google "cheddars gluten free" this is the first things that comes up and I don't want people getting sick thinking they can eat those recommendations, not realizing they are nearly 3 years old.

I just called our local Cheddar's restaurant to ask if there was anything gluten-free I could have at their location (N. Garland, TX). I spoke with a manager and was told that they can not give out that information and would not be making it public until they are required by law to do so in 2014. :( I don't think I will try back in 2014 either.... :o

      Dr. Reddy’s Sandoz sumatriptan gluten-free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I suggest you eliminate dairy from your son's diet next.  Cow's milk protein, Casein, can trigger tTg IgA antibody production, the same as gluten, because casein contains segments of proteins that resemble gluten protein segments.   Mucosal reactivity to cow's milk protein in coeliac disease https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/ I cannot consume dairy products.  Some people find they can tolerate A2 dairy without a reaction. Corn is another frequently hard to tolerate food because the protein zein in corn also resembles the protein structure of gluten.   Do research in Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and TTFD thiamine.  Taking TTFD really can make a dramatic difference, speaking from personal experience. https://hormonesmatter.com/energy-deficiency-asd/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Bowel issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're doing everything right with your gluten-free diet, yet still experiencing significant discomfort, which must be frustrating. Since your stool sample came back normal but symptoms persist, pushing for further investigation—like a colonoscopy or biopsy—is a reasonable next step. You might also want to discuss the possibility of additional conditions, such as IBS, microscopic colitis, or other inflammatory issues, with your doctor. Tracking your symptoms, diet, and triggers in detail could help identify patterns. Don’t hesitate to advocate for yourself—if your current doctor isn’t addressing your concerns, seeking a second opinion or a referral to a gastroenterologist could be beneficial. You’re right to seek answers, and I hope you find relief soon. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Bowel issues

      By marbeg · Posted

      Hi all, I was diagnosed with coeliac in August 2020. This was via a blood test, as it was during COVID, so I’ve never had a biopsy or colonoscopy or anything like that.    I have been following a gluten-free diet since and would expect to feel much better, however, I am still experiencing issues with my bowels. Very strict, so I know there’s no cross contamination etc.    It usually seems to be after I have had a bowel movement, my bowels feel on fire, cramping, sore and very uncomfortable. I know it isn’t normal, and isn’t right and I have saw a doctor before, I provided a stool sample and apparently everything was fine- but I know it isn’t.    I am just wondering if anyone else experiences this? What would you advise I do in regards to seeing a doctor, I was thinking of asking for a colonoscopy or biopsy, I just want to know what is going on and why I’m still experiencing this. Any advice is welcome and appreciated.. thank you.

      Dr. Reddy’s Sandoz sumatriptan gluten-free?

      By elizabethhousworth · Posted

      Thanks. My son has been on B2 for two to three years now. I found literature about B1 earlier and put him on a B1 supplement, but not thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide specifically. He also gets D and Magnesium. He goes to his doctor in June and I am going to ask for bloodwork to look for any deficiencies. What I suspect is that he is having a gluten-like reaction to the proteins in other grains. It is well known that a small percentage of celiac patients react to the protein in oats. Oats are in gluten-free Oreos, so we removed them. He got a little better. The science with oats is pretty solid. My son's nutritionist knows about it and it is easily found in PubMed. I suspect my son is reacting to something else. The next thing that I only just removed was corn, at least things with corn protein. I need to give that a couple of months. If that doesn't work, I will try to replace his cheese with goat-milk cheese, although that will be hard.    My son was migraine free for over a year on a strict gluten-free diet before this past fall. I can test his foods for gluten and I have given in to diet rigidity. He eats my homemade refried beans and rice for lunch every day, so his rigid diet contains pretty healthy components. Given his antibody levels (tTG-IgA very low) and that I tested everything under the son that he ingests when his migraines returned and nothing tested positive for gluten, I think he really is gluten-free. So my personal working hypothesis is that he is having a reaction to a similar protein, one in another grain. However, the neurologist sees migraines come and go in lots of normal people, so it might just be that he is now having multiple (3-10) migraines monthly and it is hormonal or weather-related or something that is entirely distinct from an antibody reaction. I just would like them to go away again, as would he.    Thanks again! Elizabeth

      Duodenum biopsy result confusion

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @jamiet06, Yes, it does point in that direction.  Your report says "Correlation with clinical findings and results of serological studies is recommended"  is saying you should undergo a gluten challenge and be tested for antibodies associated with Celiac Disease.   These antibodies are produced in celiac disease in response to gluten, but you have to eat generous amounts of gluten for the antibodies to show up in the bloodstream. A gluten challenge means you eat 10 grams or more of gluten  (4 to 6 slices of gluten containing bread or equivalent or more) per day for a minimum of two weeks.
