Glutened At Salad Bars

I have been ordering the French Country Salad at CHeesecake Factory thinking it was safe. I eliminated the candied pecans and the goat cheese and had chopped egg and chopped apples instead. I ate the asparagus and the beets. After several attempts at ordering it, the waiter finally told me that the beets were not gluten-free. They were glazed. Ah HA!!! moment for me.

I recently went to Ruby Tuesdays and they told me the same thing- the beets are glazed. Anyone have any problems. I am just sticking with the chick peas, the red and yellow peppers, olives, and hardboiled eggs to put on top of the spinach and red lettuce mix. anyone have any similar stories or issues with so-called "safe" foods at restaurants and salad bars?

Sorry, no. "Glazed" doesn't shout "gluten" to me. I learn so much on this board. Thank you for sharing!

What about the dressing?

I'm afraid that 'glazed' does shout gluten to me. Recently got glutened by a spice rub. Anything that sticks to food probably has gluten in it. sigh

Cheesecake Factory is in the process of re- doing their soon-to-be released allergy menu for people that are gluten intolerant, soy, eggs etc. The

waiter had an old un released version and found that the beets are not safe for celiacs.

I use the balsamic and olive oil for dressing. even then, I have to check the balsamic vinegar because the CF uses one that has caramel coloring and the product is from Italy. it never ends it seems. now I have to find out if caramel coloring in vinegar is safe etc.....

is the CF really making an allergen menu?? or at least labelling their items gluten-free or not?? that makes me really happy

& isnt caramel coloring from corn??? that was my understanding from reading on these forums... but i could be wrong... & i also didnt think they added caramel color to balsamic vinegar??? hmmmm

yes, CF has been working on one for quite some time, but apparently they got some things wrong and had to make some corrections but it is on the

way to being released soon. It is a gluten-free as well as soy dairy and egg allergy sensitive as well.

my understanding is that in Europe, caramel coloring can be derived from sources other than corn. most of it in the us is corn-based. someone clarify if

you happen to read this thread.....

can't wait for the CF gluten free menu. I am hoping they will come out w a specific dessert for us like they have at PF Changs.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By trents · Posted

      The only vegetable sources of B12 are some fermented bean products using a certain microbiotic culture. It is next to impossible to get adequate B12 from vegetable sources without supplementation. Same with D3. Some mushrooms can make D3 when exposed to UV light. Are you vegetarian or vegan? Do you do dairy and eggs or no animal products at all? Low B12 and D3 could definitely cause or contribute to many of the symptoms you have been experiencing but would not cause celiac disease. It is more likely the other way around, especially if you are a vegetarian eating no animal products. Many of your symptoms seem neurological in nature. It is well known that the B vitamin complex is vital to neurological health but so is D3. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9820561/

      Russ, can you link an article supporting your assertion that small amounts of gliadin are detectable in human breast milk? Not doubting you but it would be nice to have the whole text for reference.

      Got it. Thanks Scott. I'll set up an appointment with a GI after the holidays and get all the celiac disease screening done. Thanks to this amazing forum and to all who have answered my question, I now know what my next steps are.

      Aah it sucks that there's no definitive way to confirm NCGS or celiac. I've found a GI clinic that is covered by my insurance and I'll contact them after the holidays to setup an appointment. I hope to get some sort of clarity with further tests.
