I honestly have no idea, but thus far... I've not found any Applebee's to have even a remote clue about gluten intolerance issues. So, we stopped going there a long time ago.

That place was our family favorite.

I went to Applebee's about 2 years ago as it was my hubby's favorite place. The manager tried so hard, but I got glutened real bad. I have not been back there. They really tried, but it just is not worth it to me as there are so many other places I can go to.

I had two bites of my boyfriend's from their the other night. Judging only on how I felt (b/c honestly they look at you like you have two heads when you say you are allergic to wheat), it is not gluten free. Must be the marinade or something on it. But also, it could be cc because they put croutons on their vegetables that were on the same plate for some unknown reason.

AMB, I've heard that Chilis has a gluten-free menu and I know it's right near Applebee's where you are. Also Cheeseburger in Paradise has a gluten-free menu.

Let me give you fair warning ... eat at home this weekend, it's parent weekend for IU. :P I'll be stuck waiting for a table at Cheeseburger ... but I think we'll got straight there from my daughter's work at 5 to try to beat the crowd. For me, it will be lunch at Nicks', dinner at Cheeseburger, breakfast at the Hilton Garden Inn (the only breakfast place I feel safe eating since I stand there and watch them cook).

There are a lot of other options, I'd just skip Applebee's and Fridays.

Both Malibu Grill and the University Club downtown are willing to work with you. The manager at Malibu (we were regulars ... our picture is on their website even, but this was before diagnosis) even came over to me one day after my diagnosis and said there was another celiac who came in and he was happy he already had learned all about it from me. Sadly, their Key Lime Martinis are NOT gluten-free!

What in a martini could have gluten in it?

The key lime liquor has graham cracker in it. :( Used to be my favorite!

I waitressed at two different applebee's during college, and their chicken breasts have a marinade on them that has soy sauce. Almost all of their food is prepackaged and full of wheat/gluten unfortunately. SOME of them used to offer a plain chicken breast (not listed on the menu) but honestly, I would be very hesitant to eat there---I do not.

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.
    • Steve-n-Portland
      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
