DId I read that someone had a positive experience there? I was wondering if anyone located a gluten-free menu for CF online?

hey-

I ate their once a few months ago, no gluten-free menu. The chef came out and spoke with me, but I still ended up eating yr basic salad with no dressing ( I don't eat meat either). So I wouldn't really recommend it, but you can try!

I've had their shrimp over angel hair with tomato sauce, except I get it over rice. It is very good when it is made correctly but due to the large volume of customers they have I usually have to send it back a few times.

There are several CFactories in 60 miles or so from our place and I've been able to eat at both, successfully!

When I go in, before we sit down, I tell the host(ess) that I need to speak to the mgr. I have a celiac card made up ahead of time with what I can NOT eat, and when the Mgr comes to the table, I explain that I can't eat anything on this card.

The 4 or 5 times we've been there, he goes back to consult with the chef and then comes back and tells me what they can do for me, going through the menu one item at a time. The past 3 times, I've ordered the Baja Chicken Tacos. The chef prepares it gluten-free and I've been symptom free each time I've eaten. I'm not sure if this is gluten-free already or if he does something in particular but, wow, it's SO YUMMY!! lol.

Basically, if you're going to a nicer place, like CF, just speaking to the mgr should get you what you want. In our small town, we're limited to RTuesday, Chili's, and a steakhouse. We eat there so often that I made a point of going in for lunch one time in the later afternoon when it was kind of dead (in each place) and explaining to the Mgr my limitations. In all 3 places they were very understanding and took the time (30 minutes or so!!) to go over all the menu items and even bring out labels when we weren't certain.

It never hurts to ask and if you're super nice about it, I can't see that you won't get what you want. You can catch a whole lotta flies w/honey! ;)

Someone at our local celiac meeting told us that their Godiva cheesecake is gluten-free. She said the crust is made of chocolate. I would double check but if so, that's very good news!

The Cheesecake Factory was one of the first places I ate after finding out I was a celiac. They could not have been any nicer. My waitress got the chef and he told me what menu items he could make gluten free. They did recomend that I not eat any of the cheesecake. He said they couldn't avoid contamination in the factory where they were made. Also their french fries where not gluten free.(Maybe due to fryer use?)

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.
