I like it when restaurants have this - lol :)

I am going out to Chili's tonight for dinner, and I went to their website and they have allergen info, including Gluten Free.

Just thought I'd let you all know.

I think it is great too that restaurants are now posting gluten free food items on their sites.

I have looked at Chili's list so many times but have not made it in the restaurant yet... I have called and spoken to one of the managers about what to do whenever we do decide to go eat there, so that was nice and a 1st step.

Pretty much what we talked about was to bring a copy of the Gluten Free Food List in from their site and if I feel comfortable then just order with the waiter or show them the paper and ask for the manager and order with them. I am scared about CC so I think that is why we haven't gone yet. I am thinking about getting it to go so if I did have CC problems then I would be at home with "my" bathroom.

GOOD LUCK -- Will have to let us know what you got and if you felt okay later :)

Let us know how your dinner goes!

We went with my son a couple of weeks ago- he ordered off the gluten-free menu and had the potato soup, plain salad

with NOTHING on it (they dont seem to get the croutons/breadstick/ and I don't trust the shredded cheese) and a plain hamburger patty. Of course they have the gluten free menu and my server had an aunt w/ celiac disease, I was so happy-but then they brought his burger on a bun!!!

We have also had success at TGIF- he ordered a plain salad (the first one came w/ a breadstick on top-sent that back) plain flat iron steak and mashed potatoes w/ steamed broccoli. In that restaurant they were so happy to tell me one of the servers has celiac (not in on that day) but like I said the breadstick on the salad! Both times I asked to speak w/ the manager first, discussed cc ect.

I would love to just stay home and cook for him-but both my son's play travel ice hockey and we travel to various places at least once per month-stay in hotels and I am going crazy searching for places he can eat SAFELY! I now have a mini micro and bring stuff w/ me to be safe-but that is not always an option!

I think Chili's is linked w/ a few other restuarants that list gluten-free ingredients, if you go to their websites they have the same webtype listing and menu listing.

Good luck!

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
