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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
