Well, you could really advocate hard for yourself and call up the place. Talk to the manager and ask alot of questions. I check the menu in advance and pick a few things that look like they might work and ask detailed questions about ingredients and prep method. Possibly get a bunlesss burger and some other simple veg or salad. The fewer the ingredients the better. Ask in advance to make sure that they don't put buns or other gluten on the grill. When you arrive, take the manager aside and place your order with him/her and give clear instructions. Take a dining card with and tell them they can pass it on to the kitchen, and give it back when they're done, if you want. I got a sfe meal like the one mentioned above at Chili's but it really depends on the place. Some burger places could be a CC nightmare. Collect some more info. then you can make a better informed decision.

You could also ask for you burger to be prepared in a clean frying pan/skillet instead of the grill. That would really help safe guard you against CC.

      Hello @CeliacNew, If you are Vegan to help you feel better, reconsider returning to omnivore.  Actually, since you are already on a very restrictive diet, transitioning to gluten free might be easier for you.  Read the ingredient labels, Particularly vitamin D and Choline require supplements for vegan diet because our primary source is sun, eggs and beef.  B12 also.

      Once you've completed testing and still don't have improvement, start a trial gluten free diet.  Looking for imprvement that may indicate Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, which is 10 times more prevalent than Celiac Disease. Deficiencies in vitamins B6, B12, D, and C can manifest as skin rashes.  Virtual guaranty you are deficient in vitamin D.

      So those rs numbers tell researchers where the dbSNP is located in a Genome so that other reasearchers or an AI system can look in that specific spot for that Snip of information.  You can look those rs # s by pasting the numbers after rs into the lookup on this page https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/ right under the Blue header bar at the top of the webpage.  Since you are not a researcher, I do not know how this will help you though.

      So I posted here once before, and everyone advocated that I get into a GI doc.  I finally got into my functional health appointment on 6/16 to get my blood results evaluated and get the Gastro referral. I was told that I would be fortunate to see a gastro doctor by December, because of the number of people waiting to get in, but they did believe that I needed to see a GI doc among others.  Well, the stars aligned. I got home. I looked at MyChart and it showed an appointment available for later that same day. I never clicked so fast on an appointment time. The gastro doc ran some additional blood work based off the December values that had confirmed my daughter's suspicion that I have...

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.
