Rain Forest Cafe

Since my son was diagnosed we had tried to go back to the Rain Forest Cafe only once. We were told by the manager that there was simply nothing there for him to eat except for grilled chicken and I don't know how many little boys would want to eat just a piece of grilled chicken. So I figured I would try to investigate farther by e-mailing them and asking for some assistance in trying to find another gluten free option. So I e-mailed them once, no response. About 6 months later I tried again, again no response. This weekend my kids were upset that we don't ever go there anymore and I became very annoyed that they haven't contacted me back (it has now been a couple of months) so I sent another one and this time I let them have it for their rudeness. I told them that for an establishment that is geared for children it is very sad that they would not make an effort to accomodate a child with a special diet and to be so rude as to not respond at all. This is totally out of my character by the way. Today my phone rings and the caller ID says "Rain Forest Cafe". I was shocked and a little nervous since I yelled at them in my e-mail. The man was very nice, told me that the frys are made in a dedicated frier but we would have to ask for no seasoning. I told him that the manager on duty when we were there said there was bread crumbs in the hamburger. He said this is not true and they are 100% beef. He never did apologize about no one getting back to me but I was happy to hear that there are some options there. Thought I would pass it on.

I'm glad they got back to you. Sounds like they still need to work on their "special diets" info. It doesn't sound too consistent. I would still ask to speak to a manager when I went back to eat there (IF I went back).

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t...

      Given your history of a high TTG (167) that decreased to 16 on a gluten-free diet, along with genetic confirmation of celiac disease, it’s likely the negative biopsy is a false negative due to not eating gluten before the endoscopy. Gluten is necessary to trigger the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease, and avoiding it can lead to healing and a normal biopsy despite ongoing immune activity (reflected in your still-elevated TTG). The inflammation observed during the endoscopy (“diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa”) could be residual damage, mild ongoing inflammation, or another condition like peptic duodenitis, but it’s consistent with celiac disease in context. Continued positive blood...

      Yes, it sounds like great progress, but what was the time frame between the two endoscopies?
