If that link doesn't work, you can probably find it in the restaurants section - look at dec 2006 timeframe.

One warning since food intolerances run in clusters in some people. The ones around northern VA have a basket of peanuts and shells tend to scatter so avoid this place if you have a peanut allergy also.

We just got one and I love it. The fries, especially, if you haven't had fast food fries in a while and can handle peanut oil. The fries are just potatoes fried in peanut oil, nothing else is fried in the oil, and if you ask for regular fries to go and nothing else you get a whopping massive amount. The burgers are good, get them without the bun, but for me the fries are the attraction. I hadn't had fast food fries in 3 years, and although they are not like McDonald's or Wendy's fries, they are pretty darn good. I was going to save half of that massive first purchase, but they were so good I ate them all. Unfortunately they opened up next to Curves so I worked out this morning to the aroma of frying onions and left to the smell of bacon. Good thing Five Guys wasn't open yet or I would have completely negated my workout.

We have a 5 guys here in knoxville, tn and it is really good. the first time i are there the register guy actually had a sister with celaic so he totally understood what i could and could not have. however, the last time i ate there all i had was a burger and it got C.C., even though i made sure to tell the girl at the register and i got really sick. i still eat there but i try to clarify even more so now

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
