Well, you could really advocate hard for yourself and call up the place. Talk to the manager and ask alot of questions. I check the menu in advance and pick a few things that look like they might work and ask detailed questions about ingredients and prep method. Possibly get a bunlesss burger and some other simple veg or salad. The fewer the ingredients the better. Ask in advance to make sure that they don't put buns or other gluten on the grill. When you arrive, take the manager aside and place your order with him/her and give clear instructions. Take a dining card with and tell them they can pass it on to the kitchen, and give it back when they're done, if you want. I got a sfe meal like the one mentioned above at Chili's but it really depends on the place. Some burger places could be a CC nightmare. Collect some more info. then you can make a better informed decision.

You could also ask for you burger to be prepared in a clean frying pan/skillet instead of the grill. That would really help safe guard you against CC.

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.

      Hello mantooth nice to meet you it's so uncanny what you wrote you sound just like me even the back issues are exactly the same and I'm new here too trying to find out if I have the same had I too have been struggling to find answers with my docters I don't have a diagnosis but I've been struggling like forever and was told ibs and health aniexty was my problem but on researching I've come to the conclusion it's probably more because i cut gluten and lactose out for 6 months and  it was a incredible change for me so although I can't help with diagnosis I can say your not alone in trying  to find answers 😊
