Great News About Cheeseburger In Paradise!

We went to Cheeseburger in Paradise in Bloomington, IN last Friday night. I asked for the gluten-free menu, and the manager brought the freshly printed version off the internet to me. Last time I was there, the sweet potato chips were not marked gluten-free and it had always been disappointing to me as it didn't seem that it would be that big of deal to make them gluten-free. They were marked gluten-free this time! I wanted to be sure, so I walked over to the manager and asked him about it. He said they've always had a dedicated fryer and he thought they had always been gluten-free (must have previously been an issue with seasoning?).

Later, my husband was away from the table, the manager came over, sat down, and chatted for a while. He said they had just had a seminar all about celiac and cooking gluten-free. They really take it seriously and use clean pots, pans and cookware whenever anything is ordered gluten-free. This is why I only like to go to restaurants trained in cooking gluten-free! It was so hard to teach myself to cook this way that it seems risky to eat somewhere that is not trained! We need to support these restaurants so that in the future other chains may follow suit. I know that Carrabas and Outback are both part of this same chain (I thought PF Changs was, too, but he didn't mention them).

I thought there would be people out there who would want to know the new status of the sweet potato chips!! They were GREAT btw! So was my burger and mojito!!

That is great! I wish there was one located in California. They really need to expand and come on over to the West Coast!

I really can't say enough good things about this restaurant! We eat there at least once per week and they know who I am and make sure that my & DS's food is safe. :) Last week we had a server we hadn't had before and turns out he works with kids who have autism and a lot of those kids are on gluten-free/CF diets, so he is very familiar with the gluten-free part. Most of the servers (and the kitchen staff) know my order without me even telling them and it is always great!!!! I usually get the bacon burger and fries (no seasoning b/c their seasoning has soy in it). DS eats his with the seasoning and loves it.

I may have to give those chips a try! :)

Carla, thanks so much for the info! When we are in Columbus every other weekend or we love to stop there so the next time I may get those sweet potato chips. I crave their salads and wish there was one a little closer to home here but I'll make due :P . Its wonderful to know that they are trained so well and very reassuring as well. Yippee for restaurants that are celiac friendly!!!

Wow, thanks Carla - we were there Saturday evening. I had tried to order the sweetpototo chips before but the manager or owner had said no, next time we go out for a mini date, I will be ordering those chips!!!! No seasoning due to the soy.

This time, I could have met you at Nick's for lunch too - no plans and no emergency trips to the docs office. Maybe next time.

I believe that outback is being bought out. Not sure who but I hope they keep up with the gluten-free menu.

Have been feeling safer at Carrabas - did talk to the manager at C in Paradise last time and explained the cross contamination issues. He was unaware but thanked me and said he would intstuct his staff. Having that meeting is great!

These places are wonderful. Noticed since the possible buy out especially Carrabas has been packed. I usually get the chicken brian. Didn't care for the salmon. Does anyone have a favorite? I always get chicken brian.

It is my understanding outback, cheeseburger in paradise and carrabas are all one organization. Sure hope they stay gluten-free if this sell goes thru.

I've had a low energy level lately (going in for more testing to see what else is wrong), so I didn't try to set something up this time because I wanted to save what little energy I had for visiting my daughter (I know that sounds lame, but it's true! :) ). I'll be back in December, maybe we can meet then. I did eat lunch at Nick's Friday before my haircut.

I completely understand. I go though my ups and downs too but I think mine is tied to my anemia that I am still dealing with - today is not an up day.

Went to Nick's for lunch on Thursday - looks like our schedules are off by a little bit. Hope you still had a great visit and don't worry about trying to fit something in, families are first.

      Hello @A Wilson, Glad you found us. There is your answer. The results from the tests are just more data to the puzzle.

      Is it gluten?

      Hi @Woodster991, You do need to see a health professional to make sure it is not appendicitis. Rebound tenderness, fever. Is it gluten? Yes. It is also serious vitamin and mineral deficiency. Either by Celiac Disease malabsortion, food avoidance or just not getting enough. Consider significantly increasing your intake of vitamin...

I'm going Tuesday but since reading on here I'm thinking now why bother I've been suffering for that long has I can remember I've reached out to docters since I was in my 20s im now Immy 50s was told IBS and health aniexty was my problem what prompted me to go back again this time was the long list of problems I've also had which they also know about but never said any were connected I've had bad bouts that put me in bed for days I cut carbs out years ago and saw a difference but uneducated just thout see it must be a better way of eating didn't realise it was actually showing me to cut gluten out I've been back and forth to docters that much they have put me down has I have health aniexty causing it in a nut shell it's in my head yet over the years I've had sickness medication scans over my kidneys my liver my tummy for the pain flu like symptoms were put down to my bad rhinitis hair shredding was put down to stress vitamin d deficiency put down to food my 3 herniated discs degenerative and slight sclorocis believe it or not was my posture achy legs syndrome and bad blood circulation to my low mobility threw my back I can go on and on what they tryed to tell me I got that bad i realised it's maybe more than IBS and yes I do suffer aniexty but the way they have made me feel like it's all in my head is time to stop because cutting out gluten and lactose had been the best thing I have done I only went back because I was a little worried after struggling for so long if I had damaged my bowel i just hoped I would get help threw tests sorry for long post but you are not alone with the worry of the test results but if you know yourself then you be your docter and help yourself too but always push for help if   you have abdominal pain it could be other things too it took me 15 years to get a MRI for my back you can imagine my thouts Wen I got my results that it wasn't just my posture had I'd been told even unable to walk was my fault lol  so if you are struggling seek out help anyway you can and be consistent till you get answers 🤗

      Hi @Woodster991, You do need to see a health professional to make sure it is not appendicitis.  Rebound tenderness, fever.   Is it gluten?  Yes.  It is also serious vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Either by Celiac Disease malabsortion, food avoidance or just not getting enough.  Consider significantly increasing your intake of vitamin D, B1, Choline, Iodine, B2, B3, B5, B12.  The vitamin D test, (25(OH)D, is simple and accurate. Whole Milk yogurt and berries to populate your gut with benificial bacteria.  I drink Red Bull for energy.  Eat food low in omega 6 fatty acids. The ideal ratio is less than 3 omega 6 to 1 omega 3.  For some, the Modern American Diet is estimated to be more than 14:1.  Very inflammatory.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1. Whether Celiac Disease (1% of the population) or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population) would take blood tests and endoscopy. It is either that, or you have managed to contract 6 or 7 different diseases at the same time. You don't need a doctor's permission to not eat gluten anymore than you would to eat Chinese food.
