Any One Else Having Good Luck With 5 Guys?

hello all,

after i saw that 5 guys says on their site that everything but the bun is gluten-free so i decided to give it a try again (had not eaten there since before i went gluten-free). first time i went in and ordered w/o a bun the manager came over and asked me if it was cause of a food allergy, i said ya and they made sure to keep it off of the counter where the burgers with buns are made (even though it is done on foil always), they changed gloves pretty well and took every precaution they could to keep gluten away in a mixed kitchen. second time i went in the guy at the register asked me right away and made sure the people working the line knew and it was great again, i noticed they even put down a paper towel on the area they worked that is away from the buns.

this may not be good enough for those that are extremely sensitive but im not the highest tolerance celiac and it seems that im not getting glutened (my stomach bothered me the next morning but i think it was something else since usually getting glutened for me sets my gi off in 2-3 hours tops).

so just wanted to see if anyone was having similar experiences and wanted to let those that havent tried it to see how their 5guys is if they have one near them.

I ate out at a 5 Guys in Chattanooga--burger sans bun plus fries and had no problem. LOVE their fries, and it's nice not to worry about breaded food items ccing the fries in the fryer. I still have to try one locally.

We've eaten there several time with problems. The counter person always asks if it's an allergy and then they change gloves.

Love those fries!

I've only eaten at 5 Guys once, two years ago. Had no problems. I'm still drooling just thinking about their food. Wish they were here in the Midwest.

      From the article I linked above: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for Celiac Disease These tests measure the levels of antibodies in the blood, but specifically targets deamidated gliadin peptides, which are a type of gluten protein that can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. The test is not always included in adults, but should be in cases with IgA deficiency.  I'm not sure if this is a grammatical error or not but in the context, two tests are being spoken of together so it could be intended to say, "These tests". I'll ask Scott about that.

      No they did not run a total IGA. But wouldn’t the DPG-IGA also be negative also if I was IGA deficient? They did also run a TTG-IGG and a DPG-IGG and they were also negative.

      The DGP-IGA is valuable when celiac is suspected but the person being tested is IGA deficient. Were you tested for IGA deficiency. In other words, was there a test known as "Total IGA" ordered? Here is an overview of the various blood tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease:

      Has anyone ever negative blood work except for the DPG-IGA? Mine was 42 (reference range negative is >20. The TTG iga was negative. I have always suffered from bad gas issues and lately have been having bouts of diarrhea and constipation. I also have a bumpy rash that comes and goes below both elbows. i have an endoscopy scheduled in May but I was just wondering if anyone else had bloodwork like this and what was the end result?

      Welcome to he forum community, @DjinnDjab! You wrote: "i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships." Are you saying that the need to eat gluten free has resulted in losing all your friends and your entire social life?
