Please note first that my Outback is extremely well versed with the gluten free diet and they are probably more trustworthy than many Outbacks. They informed me this evening that the actual Aussie Chips are gluten free, that its due to CC in the fryer and the seasonings that they are not listed as gluten free. Then they proceeded to tell me that they have a new fryer dedicated to only the Aussie Chips and the seasoning isn't added until after they're fried so they could make them gluten free. I spoke to the manager, Sarah, she's been great to us this past year and a half. She confirmed that this was indeed correct. So, we ordered Aussie Chips with my husband's meal (he's not Celiac) and I tried two. It's three hours later and I haven't had a reaction. I usually react within the first hour or two. Anyway, if your Outback has a dedicated fryer, you may want to ask if they can make the Aussie Chips gluten free for you. They were GOOD!!!

I believe she goes to the Lancaster PA location if I am not mistaken.

Yup, Lancaster, PA. I double checked with the manager and everything and she explained that it was just the seasoning that contained gluten. We've been dealing with her for just over a year. She's the one that got them to carry Bard's Tale as well as a few higher end vodkas that aren't derived from a grain base. I totally trust her if she says its gluten free. Plus, I haven't had a reaction. I didn't order the fries because I was a little nervous about them, but I think next time I'll probably order them. I miss real french fries.

The manager at our local Outback told me the same thing. The last time I went in there I had "chips" too - just with salt - and had no problems.

Dang! That was it. Work just treated my group out to lunch and I got a burger and some chips. I asked about the dedicated fryer. But I had the seasoning. I did a quick read of the ingrediants, but didn't see any thing obvious. Now I know! Still feeling awful since lunch 1.5 days ago.

Edit... oops, I just read this again. I had went to a Red Robin... not Outback doh!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      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...

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      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?

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!

      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:
