I really want to go to the Olive Garden tonight but......is there anything that I can eat? Do any of you have any success with foods on their menu?

I can eat the canneloni, because it's not in a tomato-based sauce. Sometimes I can do the salad with the dressing, but with Prelief for sure. It really depends on your specific triggers. I hope you get to go and have a great time!!

I just remembered, if you have a problem with preservatives, Olive Garden might not be a good place because all the sauces are canned or bagged, not fresh...

Many alfredo dishes are fine, and very good. Watch out for the soups and salad. The salad is very acidic, and the soups are all too peppery for me. Ask your waiter about what ingredients are used before you order.Comment
