Outback! My First Good Restaurant Experience In A Month!

My husband suggested going out for dinner earlier this evening and I reacted with my usual "uhhh... I dunno" and he said "Let's try Outback, you said they have a gluten-free menu".

So, before we went, I printed out the menu from their website, and was pleased to note that some of my all-time favorites are gluten-free. Although I was kind of bummed to see that their seasoned vegetables are not, but I can deal.

Also, we had a coupon for a free appetizer sampler that was basically grilled chicken and steak, ahi tuna, and coconut shrimp. When I ordered that, I asked that the rice that normally comes with the steak and the shrimp be served on a different plate. The waitress immediately asked if I was allergic. I said "Yes, to gluten" and she said that she'd be sure to tell the chef. She also said that she had another gluten allergic customer recently and warned us that our food may take a few extra minutes because they cook everything separately. I was so happy I almost cried :)

So, it's been over an hour since we finished eating and I feel FINE!!! Since I usually react within about 20 minutes, I figure it all went well :) YEAH for Outback!!!

Yeah! We've had Outback twice since I was dx'd, once was a pick up order and once in the restaurant. The waitress was great and I got the Alice Spring Chicken as well! LOVE IT!

You know PF Changs does gluten-free menus too, right? Mmmmm!

Outback has been great for us :) they have a separate menu they bring out, and my mom (who has celiac disease) is just thrilled at how careful they are, without making a huge deal about it... AND they have amazing gluten-free dessert :D

I went the other day to Outback and had the Chicken on the Barbie---according to the menu, the BBQ sauce is gluten free. I ordered a baked potato rather than the seasoned veggies, and salad with no croutons, and had a great time. My only regret is that we were too full for the Chocolate Thunder.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:

      Prior to being diagnosed, I had a gluten heavy diet. I stopped all gluten exactly a week ago and have continued to feel sick in the ways I did prior to going gluten free - primarily on and off nausea, brain fog, and fatigue. Wondering if this is normal and, if so, how long can I expect to feel this way?
