I was wondering if anyone has ever had a good experience with the Rainforest Cafe. My husband has never eaten there and he really wants to go. I had the restaurant send me over the menu and it makes me a little nervoud :unsure: it seems like every thing is covered in BBQ sauce or some kind of zesty sauce. I called them and they said they could accomodate a gluten free meal, which is good to know, she says they have done it before. I just wanted your opinions to see if anyone really has had a good meal there.

Thank You for your help.

When doing research on this board for our Disney trip, Rainforest Cafe in the Marketplace in Orlando was often referrenced as a good place for a gluten-free meal. Don't know about other locations though, but if you called and they even knew what gluten free was, I'd go :)

Hi: I had a great experience with them a few months ago. This was at the Rainforest Cafe in the Burlington Mall in Burlington, MA. My 9 year old daughter has celiac and after I spoke to the waiter about it, the manager came out and discussed options for her meal. He assured me that the head chef was trained in cooking for celiacs and that she would be fine. He even went so far as to bring a package of pudding out to me so that we could go over the ingredients before deciding whether or not she could have it for dessert. (we opted to go with the Edy's vanilla ice cream instead). I can't remember exactly what she ate, but she loved the meal and didn't get a stomach ache at all. Of course, she isn't terribly sensitive, but it seemed to me that they took great care of her there. I would definitely go there with her again. It would be nice though if they came up with a gluten-free menu.

WOW!!! This sounds perfect! Thank You for you help. This message board is so wonderful, I am so glad to have found it. Because there are some days where I just feel completely alone with Celiac, and to come here and see other people and to have everyone so helpful is great.

Well I am going there tomorrow night, I will let everyone know how it turns out.

The Rainforest in Disney Marketplace is the same as any other non Disney owned restaurant on Disney property, they have to conform to Disney standards to be on their property. Since Disney is all about accomodating alleriges, any restaurant on their property can handle any number of alleriges.

I unfortuntaly dont know about Rainforest anywhere else.. sounds like others have had some good experiences. Good luck!

      Nightmares

      By Femke · Posted

      I did a gluten challenge. I ate bread yesterday. I immediately felt horrid. Depressed, fearful, angry.  I also had the weirdest night terrors and "day terrors" (delusions). They were do awful, that I am still terrified. How do gluten impact your dreams?

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By Tazzy11 · Posted

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.
