Rainforest Cafe can be very tricky because their food comes pre packaged and they basically just heat it up. For example, you can't order a hotdog without the bun from the kids menu because the hotdogs come packaged in the bun :blink: . I find it a little odd. Regardless, I wasn't getting anywhere with e mails either until I sent a very nasty one complaining that they are supposed to be a kid friendly restaurant and that I am trying to bring my child there and no one will help me find something he can eat there. Finally, someone responded by calling me back and they said that the hamburgers are 100% beef so if ordered without a bun he can eat it. They also said that the fries are not gluten free due to seasoning but you can ask for them to be cooked without the seasoning. I don't know about anything else as these options worked for my son. We have eaten there twice since then and he did not get sick.

Thank you for the info. Thats a shame, i thought there would be more options. Oh well. At least there's something for us. I guess its for the experience rather than the food anyways. take care.

I went to the RFC last month when I was in Vegas. The waitress had the chef come down and talk with me about my options. There weren't many, but they did make me a good cedar plank salmon. They didn't have much else to go with it, just a small (kinda boring) salad, but the fish was yummy :) Wish I'd had some chips or a baked potato to go along with it :)

My daughter had a cheese burger-no-bun and fries-no-seasoning and did fine. I was assured the nachos were okay but I got quite sick. Next time I'm just getting the fries, they were good even without the seasoning.

ALWAYS Take caution with the fryers, anyone who worked as a food place. There is a high chance of cross contamination!!!! If they run out of fryers they will use any fryer available to cook the things they need.

I had a gluten-free burger with bun and veggies.  I think here in Texas, they use the same gluten-free buns they have at Saltgrass.  They are delicious.  I'm not sure about elsewhere.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      You might find cordyceps and reishi tincture helps, even if you identify which lectins you react to with an igg test there is still cross contamination and secondary contamination via cows and chickens that have eaten soy, I found mushroom tinctures to be the last piece of the puzzle, they stop you producing the antibodies.

      I went on an elimination diet last summer. I’m reacting to so many different things but a main thing is night shades. I can handle some lectins.  I suggest keeping a good journal for symptoms. It can take up to three days to feel a reaction. I leaned that from the dietician I saw.

      Wow! I’m so grateful to read this and I’ll try it. I’m a celiac since 1996. I’ve been so horribly sick this last year and doctors can’t figure it out. Constant muscle aches, basically all the symptoms you posted. Plus I can’t eat night shades and majority of lectins. It’s unbearable. Have an appointment with a GI celiac specialist but not until the end of May. Just had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy and all they found were ulcers in my esophagus. I’m 52.

      Immediate Reaction

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, yes I get this reaction if I eat gluten by mistake or if I eat high fodmap foods as well.  I become nauseous, vomit then it hits the muscles, my legs sometimes give out.  It takes a while to feel "normal" again.
