Lone Star Steakhouse - Anyone Been?

I was just wondering if anyone has eaten at a Lone Star Steakhouse without any trouble. I'm trying to go to dinner with DD and my parents tonight for her birthday. She *loves* steak but the web site doesn't have any allergy/gluten-free indications. I'm going to call later this afternoon but would like to know if anyone else has tried it with any success.

Our other options in the area are a Village Inn or a Perkins, neither offering gluten-free options and those places scare me a bit since it's mostly sandwiches and breakfast fare (pancakes, toast, etc.) Too much CC risk for me.

I talked to the manager at the Golden, CO location and he was very helpful. He said when we get there to let the server know to have him come to our table and he will help us order. We talked briefly about the menu and it sounds like she'll be able to get a steak seasoned w/ salt and pepper, a baked potato, and some veggies.

I hope this goes well *fingers crossed* as DD has had a rough couple days and I'd love for this to work out for her.

The manager said he'd even open a NEW container of ice cream and use a new scoop so she could have dessert. (Those pesky scoops are always touching cakes and brownies and the like, yikes!).

WISH US LUCK!

We had an awesome meal last night. DD said she did feel gassy but not "glutened" so who knows, but the manager really took care of us. He made her steak himself on a clean grill w/ just salt and pepper and she had a baked potato with butter and steamed veggies (more butter). Plus, he did open a fresh carton of ice cream just for her.

He was a really nice manager and totally seemed willing to bend over backwards for whatever she needed. We totally will be going back. He even said on all you can eat rib night we can bring our own sauce and he'll make her ribs for her. :D

Not to shabby for a chain restaurant. We also went when it wasn't incredibly busy, so I'm sure that helped!

That is awesome! I had a decent experience at the Westminster, CO location. The manager didn't come out, but the server took back the dining card and was right on top of things. It was a good meal, and I didn't feel "glutened" either...

buffettbride hello,

I have been eating at the Glendale Az Lonestar for at least 2 years and the manager at the time I first tried it had a relative that is celiac and so had made up a special menu and even had it laminated, with specific instructions and also trained the staff. it is always a good experience to eat there without a lot of the normal concerns that go with eating out. I went to a different Lonestar in Az and had to give the normal explicit instruction talk to a waiter that at least admitted that he had no idea what gluten was. He did take care to insure our meal was safe. :D

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      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.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      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 begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years. Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊. I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago. best wishes everyone 🍄

      Endoscopy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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 markers suggest ongoing gluten exposure, possibly from cross-contamination or hidden sources. Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet and follow-up testing are key to managing symptoms and reducing inflammation. Discuss these findings with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and refine your dietary approach. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

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