Stir Crazy Restaurant

We went to a Stir Crazy restaurant yesterday. Open Original Shared Link

After playing at an arcade, Gameworks in Schaumburg, IL. and stopped at the Woodfield Mall.

We were getting hungry as we were there longer than we expected. Looking around as to where we could take my son to eat.

We haven't been out to eat much after his diagnosis in January.

My husband went in to ask about a gluten free menu. They had one

The Asian Market Bar, had 2 gluten free sauces to choose from.

The manager personally went though the line with us. Talked to the cook about how to handle Billy's food. Had the cooks use freshly sanitized pan and ladle, he kept the ladle away form the other items he was cooking. It all went well and Billy had a great meal.

Thanks for posting. There is one in a mall by me as well and I never would have thought to try there.

Did they have a specific gluten free menu or did they just let you know what they could make for him safely?

They said not to order the other things off the menu but eat at the Asian Market Bar.

That is where you pick the rice, veggies and meat and they cook it at the "bar" You watch them cook it. Then they have 2 sauces. The sauces are not left on the "bar" they will ask you which one you want and bring it out for you.

You have to let them know you want it gluten free and they will cook with clean pan/utensils.

Our bill was approx. $15 dollars per person.

Yummmmmmmmm I love stir crazy! Do you remember what the sauce options were? I'm allergic to soy so I'm hoping one of them wasn't a soy based sauce (doubtful but you never know!)

I am not sure. Billy's Dad was helping him order. The one Billy got seemed to have soy to me. Seemed like a soy sauce type. I don't know what the other option was.

I wonder if you took in your own sauce and told them you dietary needs they could use yours? I am not sure about health regulations with that though.

It would be worth a try to check it out.

The kids loved Gameworks. Billy and his teenaged sister liked the second level better. My younger daughter liked down stairs more. It is the 3rd time we have been there. We accidentally came across it about 1.5-2 years ago.

I can't say it is my favorite place though. I have to be a good Mom and let the kids have their fun.

      Inhaler problem

      @Ann13, thanks for the clarification. I think I understand your point now. Yes, I realize gluten can produce non Gi Reactions. Let us know if you find out that there is gluten in these inhalers. I have my doubts but gluten does show up in strange places. It could also be manufacturer dependent of these inhaler products are generic.

      Not everyone will be allergic to whatever they're using in food. There is another forum re people who are posting they have vocal cord & throat issues after they eat breads & pastas which stopped after they removed those foods from their diets. Same as me...gluten doesn't react as gastrointestinal it reacts orally. Which is why I'm saying ensure all...

      I certainly agree with all that. However, you also mentioned cornflakes with barley malt but that would obviously not be gluten free since barley is a gluten-containing grain. And the chemicals they spray on grains would affect everyone, not just those with gluten disorders. I'm just trying to figure out what this thread has to do with the main subject this...

      Re food, I said the gluten free thing isn't necessarily about gluten itself, but chemical sprays they use on GRAINS which cause allergic throat & vocal cord issues regardless of the inhaler you're using. Your issue may not be the inhaler but eating gluten free food that still will bother you because they have been sprayed with certain chemicals. Barley...

      There could be other reasons you are reacting to the inhalers. There is no concrete evidence to believe they contain gluten. Anecdotal experiences can be misleading do not establish fact.

Same as me...gluten doesn't react as gastrointestinal it reacts orally. Which is why I'm saying ensure all your food isn't what you're having a reaction to.  ...& I used Cornflakes as an example because some gluten free people would assume it's gluten free but if they're allergic to barley they will have a reaction...nothing to do with their inhaler.  You're missing my points a lot & frustrating so I'm done commenting. You really need to ensure your food isn't what's causing the issue. I am checking with symbicort manufacturer to check their ingredients.  Good bye... I'm done with this.

And the chemicals they spray on grains would affect everyone, not just those with gluten disorders. I'm just trying to figure out what this thread has to do with the main subject this online community is focused on. Is the point of this thread that having a gluten disorder makes someone more susceptible to reacting adversely to inhalers? That could be but it may have nothing to do with the inhaler having gluten. It could have to do with, say, having higher systemic yeast counts because the celiac community generally suffers from gut dysbiosis. So it would be easier for celiacs using inhalers to develop thrush.

      Re food,  I said the gluten free thing isn't necessarily about gluten itself, but chemical sprays they use on GRAINS which cause allergic throat & vocal cord issues regardless of the inhaler you're using.  Your issue may not be the inhaler but eating gluten free food that still will bother you because they have been sprayed with certain chemicals. Barley & oats cause vocal and throat issues with me as well as gluten free flours. We didn't have gluten issues in the world yrs ago...the food changed somehow or they're using sprays that cause reactions in some people.  Re inhaler: Symbicort is registered as gluten free but companies can change their ingredients at any time so you may want to check with the company who makes it and get an ingredient list.  I don't believe I'm reacting to the inhaler...I believe it's a gluten free pasta I've been eating so I'm taking it out of my diet. I've used the inhaler for over 1 year and no problems up until now so I suspect it's the pasta.
