Interesting Experience At Cheeseburger In Paradise Last Night.

Let me start by saying that I eat at CIP pretty frequently and know what is gluten-free and I usually eat the same thing. I usually bring the gluten-free menu with me that I printed out from online, but last night I didn't. I asked the server for one b/c I was wanting something different and he told me that their entire menu is gluten-free. I looked at him and said "Are you sure?". He told me that all of their menu items were gluten & peanut free. I asked him if he knew what gluten was (wasn't trying to be a smarty pants) and he told me that it was something in wheat. I then went on to say that the hamburger buns have wheat flour in them, so how can they be gluten-free? He said that he was pretty sure that they were. So, I handed him my Triumph Dining card and asked him to go speak with the manager and that if I was right, he should buy my dinner. He said if he was right that I owed him a HUGE tip. We shook hands on it. About 5-10 minutes later he came back with a printed out gluten-free menu and said that we tied (maybe in his mind) and that everything was gluten-free minus the buns and fried onion strings. Which isn't exactly true, either. There are several items that aren't modifiable (is that a word?). So, no free dinner, but he did wear a sparkly mermaid sticker around that my daugther gave him while we were there. LOL!! I hope that now the server will know for the next time someone asks about the gluten-free menu.

Then, to top off my experience, I found a fried onion string in my fries....ACK!!! I spoke with the server and manager to make sure they have a dedicated fryer (which I always check) and the manager said it must have been a plating incident. I know that eating out is risky and fortunately it was under some fries that I didn't eat and stopped eating when I found it. So far, so good, no glutened symptoms. (knocking wood)

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By trents · Posted

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      Hello, I am feeling frustrated. I have hEDS and lifelong digestive issues but my GI PA is very focused on my celiac panel and I just want to make sure that she should be focused on that because completely changing my diet seems to have worsened my symptoms.  Symptoms are constipation, diarrhea, and acid reflux with spicy foods and certain foods like tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions. I also don't have a gallbaldder as it was removed almost a year ago. This also exacerbated my symptoms. I did have joint pain from hEDS but that was already treated with low dose naltrexone about 4 months prior to going completely gluten free. Endoscopy was abnormal but inconclusive; basically showed some inflammation - which common with hEDS. I don't have any vitamin deficiency.   Celiac Panel Results: TTG-A <0.5 U/ML Reference Range: 0.5-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 DGP-A 72.0 U/ML Reference Range: 0.2-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 TTG-G <0.8 U/ML Reference Range: 0.8-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 DGP-G 24.0 U/ML Reference Range: 0.4-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 IgG-A-M Results: IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, QN, SERUM 165 MG/DL Reference Range: 87-352 MG/DL IMMUNOGLOBULIN M, QN, SERUM 164 MG/DL Reference Range: 26-217 MG/DL   What are your thoughts, internet? Are there any questions I should be asking the PA? Thanks!

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Roses8721 · Posted

      Help. I’m spiraling. Years of extensive symptoms:  What could this be? Years of: Mildly elevated alk and alt Fatty liver Random days of feeling like I’m coming down w flu but no fever and nobody else in house sick Intermittent diarrhea Severe abdominal distension Long history of cavities and enamel deficiency Sound sensitivity Anxiety and depression Low libido Sun skin allergy Frequent fatigue ended up seeing PCP because I looked 8 mo preg. Started gluten-free diet then celiac serology negative. SW GI Dr dx me w celiac as I had been in bed for 3 days after eating gluten after cutting. GI said not to do biopsy because it was clear what was going on and added to chart. My spiral is not seeing anywhere this is done and want to see if anyone else has dealt w this. If not celiac idk what else I will do. Family history or celiac as well as a death related to this.
