Discrepencies In Paper And Online Menu At Outback

Went to outback yesterday (only my 2nd visit ever). Found that the paper menu had changed at this location and doesn't include some of the favorites (or at least what I was planning on ordering) . HOWEVER online they are still listed as gluten free. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Some of the items on the paper menu not listed gluten-free anymore were alice springs chicken, roasted garlic mashed potatoes and the chocolate thunder from down under.

I have written them the following letter and will post the info when I recieve any about it. I just don't want others to be as disapointed as I was on my visit. If you have any info on the changes let me know.

I visited a Outback location yesterday and the menu that they had was different from the online menu. I had visited that location previously and had ordered the alice springs chicken and garlic mashed potatoes.

This time when I went the gluten free menu did not list them as being gluten-free. It also did not list the chocolate thunder from down under with a gluten-free labeling beside it.

I am now confused and very disapointed in my visit. I live over an hour away from any outback location and had went specifically to have the mashed potatoes and chicken. However the trip was basically a waste because of the menu discrepencies.

I would like to know which menu is correct the online menu or the paper menu at the restaurant. I am not happy with my long disapointing trip to outback.

Sincerely,

Here is the quick response that I got from them. Clears up my question, but not my waste of time and money on an overpriced hamburger patty and baked potato. GRRR <_<

Good Day,

I'm very sorry - an oversight was made by our printer.

Our gluten-free menu that is listed on our website is correct - the Alice Springs

Chicken and Garlic Mashed Potatoes along with the Chocolate Thunder from

Down Under are Gluten Free.

Again, I apologize and appreciate your e-mail to help us correct this oversight.

Thank you,

Lilah

I would send a copy of both the letter and response to the location you ate at. The location should give you a gift certificate or some other incentive to try their establishment again. It is hard enough to find places to eat when you need gluten free and you should be able to enjoy the Outback.

I called the location where I had eaten and told them about the menu mixup. The manager thanked me and appologized and after I kinda drew out the phone call he said he would send me a gift cert to try it again! ha Yeah!! I get to go back to outback (says the poor college grad)

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      Good luck to you.  I would not get past that first slice of bread.  I would be vomiting and have diarrhea within 30 minutes and it would continue for hours and I would feel like I was hit by a truck for days.  My functional medicine doctor told me to stop taking Calcium and to significantly up my Vitamin D, add K2, lots of Magnesium, some boron and collagen.  This was all recommended after taking the Spectracell test for nutrient deficiencies.  Started doing this at 54 when diagnosed and at 72 no issues with the old bones.

      Gluten-Free House Swaps

      I live in Ottawa Canada and would be interested in a swap with someone who also has a gluten-free house. I’d love to swap out in winter for somewhere warm.

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.
