Cheeseburger In Paradise

DH and I went to Cheeseburger in Paradise tonight, not intentionally to feed him (he'd already had dinner and I hadn't). It turns out that they have a pretty extensive gluten free menu, complete with alcoholic drink options. We were really impressed.

I had St. Bart's Citrus Chicken, and it was really, really good. They also have Blue Bell ice cream, long revered in the midwest US.

On the way out we saw a sign giving approval from the Gluten Intolerance Group on the door.

I'm glad you had a good experience. I've eaten there twice with mixed results. The first time we went was a week night and they were not very busy. The waitress listened intently to me and assured me she knew all about gluten-intolerance and celiac's disease. I got a burger without a bun and fries (This is the only sit-down place in town I have found with gluten-free fries so I was thrilled). When they brought out the entrees the server actually asked who had the gluten free meal. The manager came by to check on us and make sure everything was okay. I was thrilled by that first experience and more importantly I DID NOT get sick!

Unfortunately I can't say the same for my second visit. We went on a busy friday night. The waiter did not really listen. He was trying to get us to add cheese and bacon to the fries (I'm allergic to pork and lactose intolerent). I told him TWICE NO Cheese and Bacon. He nodded like he understood, but when we got the food the burger had cheese on it and the fries had cheese and bacon! As least I got the burger without a bun, but that was the only thing he got right. We were going someplace after dinner and starving and didn't want to wait to send the food back so my husband switched fries with me (He had plain fries) and I ate the burger with cheese. Sometimes cheese does not bother me or only causes mild bloating, but bacon would send me to the hospital. Unfortunately, when I tasted my husband's fries they tasted different from my first visit. They had some kind of seasoning on them which I don't remember from the first visit. I hadn't seen anything in the menu about having to special order the fries without seasoning, but I suspect either the fries or the cheese got me. Within only a few minutes of eating I had to go to the restroom. I was sick for the rest of the evening and we had to cancel our after dinner plans. I don't know if I will go back, but at least I learned my lesson not to go on a busy weekend. Had it not been for the plans after dinner I would have sent the food back.

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
