I get this bloated too. May I ask if you're celiac? I'm not

I don’t trust chain restaurants like that, they don’t actually care about allergens. I’m so sorry this happened to you!

Oh!! I'm so sorry. Ugh 😕

Thats how I get. I feel your pain. Hope you feel better soon.

Olive Garden usually cooks the gf pasta with the regularly pasta. I’ve gotten gf pasta with regular pasta mixed in. I don’t trust them anymore honestly. They don’t change the pots let alone throw water

If they can make their Alfredo sauce gf to dip them in I will never eat anything again.

Because why do I pay full price for soup salad and bread sticks and I can’t have croutons or bread sticks. I think the Gluten Free menu needs to be priced to remove the things we have to exclude.

is the pasta gluten free

I love you just whipped out that recipe for a stranger to dip their nonexistent gluten free Olive Garden breadsticks in! Take my upvote, sending thoughts of sunshine love your way, you have a kind and generous spirit, may you be that way always my friend!

There’s nothing better. That particular kind is soooo chewy the way I remember fresh wheat pasta being 🥺

I mean, if red lobster can do it . . . They're owned by the same company, aren't they?

Honestly, there's so much wheat in Olive Garden I wouldn't trust that they would be able to prevent cross contamination.

Darden group right?

My family wanted to do Olive Garden for our big extended Christmas this year. I convinced them to get different food lol. I told my husband that olive gardens food wasn’t good enough to risk getting sick off of😂

Funny story is before my diagnosis my family and I used to go there pretty often. But after diagnosis last year I obviously didn't wanna risk any kinds of contamination which is a little hard to do at places like this.

But yknow.

Those little chocolates they give after everything are gf so woo. 😂😂😂

All different flavors of Andes mints have been available at my local Target, and all of them have been labelled GF! Even the cookie ones!

We have some that come in a red wrapper with a little strip of cherry chocolate in the middle, they are to DIE for

Does sanitary wipes do anything for gluten?

They're probably handled by employees that handle breadsticks...gotta wipe down the outside first lol

Also the most delicious offering at Olive Garden

for anyone on the west coast—square pie guys in the bay area CA does a really good one too! OP i’m so jealous, that basil looks picturesque 🤩

Oh that looks wonderful!

UM WOW. I NEED THIS

looks great!

Omg I looked this place up in the fall and they didn’t have GF on the menu!!! This is amazing news 😍

I’m not GF, my wife is. I buy these because it tastes like normal pizza to me and we can both eat it.

I eat normal pizza all the time, this tastes like normal pizza.

Second this. Hands down best frozen GF pizza out there

I'll have to give this a try. Been using the Costco Kirkland cauliflower crust pizza and it is really good too!

I get these for a celiac, cut it mostly frozen and keep the rest in the freezer for the next pizza night. Makes the cost feel more reasonable lol

I think this one was 12 through Amazon Fresh. Used to paying almost that at the grocery store for smaller GF Pizza that isn't that good anyways.

This is and always will be the best gluten free pizza. Perfect every time.

Hello no

Fuck u and your gluten tolerance. Piece of shit fake ass tolerance.

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

This was one of the worst places you could have dinner during elimination phase.

Salad with no dressing. Have them bring the oil and vinegar to the table for you to add. If you crave protein look for a salad with egg. 4 gin and tonics and a glass of red wine. There's too much sugar in whites.

Can you suggest going somewhere else? Like to get sushi or steak?

EDIT: My boyfriend gave me this gold lmao

I usually research the menu and/or call ahead if it's somewhere new.

Sometimes I have no input on the place picked, but I want to go along to socialize. If I think I won't get a filling meal, I eat beforehand so I'm not starving. I have eaten a super small and plain house salad before just to have something to pick at while we socialize. It is frustrating, but I try to focus on the point being spending time with the people and not what I eat.

... Probably the most valid point so far. Stay in, eat FODMAP friendly, people. For the sake of literally everyone.

Oh Olive Garden is super hard- I think like 5 years ago I tried to find something- and there was only like one thing I could get- and with modifications... they do have a menu that lists all allergens including dairy and gluten

at some restaurants where I can't find anything- I just ask them if they can make chicken plain with just plain salt- no butter. And like plain rice or French fires (watch for seasoning on French fries). Not sure if they can do that- but it works at some places. Calling ahead when the restaurant is not busy sometimes helps as well- I think more at fancier or independent places. But lots of restaurants are willing to accommodate special requests if you let them know ahead of time.

hope that helps

Yum

DUDE IT DID NOT LOOK THAT BAD QUALITY BEFORE

I want it

No molten cheese (not sure though), no browning,fresh basil, white onions. Has that thing even seen an oven?

It's a tiny local spot so I'd rather not spread the name. But I left a review so if gf people search the restaurant, they'll be warned!

My brother is a chef and he explained that we're paying a buck or two for the bun/noodles, a buck for storage space because it needs a GF spot to sit, a large part of the charge is paying for the time it takes to take a chef off the line, scrub the gluten off them, and move them to the GF zone where they spend five or ten minutes making one dish instead of five or ten. And the rest is a nuisance charge to stop idiots from ordering GF pasta with a regular beer

3-4 dollars an upcharge I get due to GF items being more expensive and to clean up the kitchen but anything more than that....no

I hate when they have the upcharge for gluten free noodles at a ramen place but then when you ask they share the water.

The gf bun was a $6 upcharge. We decided we weren't going there again.
