Friesenburgers - Anyone Tried This Restaurant?

An advertisement for Friesenburgers Restaurant appeared at the bottom of this site for me (the "smart" forum knows that I'm near Seattle, I guess). They advertise gluten free burgers with tapica buns (maybe Ener-G) and safe eating. I don't get to Tacoma very often but have wished for a real burger (like I used to get at Kidd Valley or Dick's)...having one at home with a bun that I make is OK but I miss the burger experience. Not too keen on tapica buns but willing to give it a try.

Anyone tried this place? It's right by the Tacoma Dome.

It sounds like they understand gluten-free safety. Here's a quote from their site: "We take measures to prevent cross contamination. Such as grill zoning and separate fryer for cooking fries only. Because we still serve wheat products as well. There is a chance of some cross contamination."

Okay dangit! I went to your link and now am hungry for a burger! I'm in Bothell, so that's a bit far for me. I'm having dinner at Mongo's in Clearview.

I always get the burger with no bun and no cheese. No gluten issues for me, but I can't have egg or dairy. The buns might actually be safe for me. Never checked. I do have diabetes though so have to watch the carbs. I do eat the fries, so adding a bun would be carb overload.

Daughter always gets the chicken teriyaki. I had been ordering the burger with no bun for her. The lady at the counter asked if she had celiac? She doesn't. Used to have a gluten allergy, but has outgrown it. Is still allergic to wheat though so pretty much still eats a gluten-free diet. Anyway... They have gluten-free soy sauce. Teriyaki used to be one of her favorite foods and I never thought she would eat it again. I should add she also had a soy allergy but outgrew that as well. Otherwise that would still be out of the question.

If you're ever out this way, I highly recommend this place. The food is out of this world! Best burger I ever had, even without the bun.

Hmm...We just drove through Clearview to get hay last weekend. Would never have known about Mondo's.

Well, I don't get to Tacoma very often, except when travelling south or on business, but next time I do, I'm going to stop and get a bacon cheeseburger- off my diet for sure!

OK, I was in Tacoma last week for business and stopped at Friesenburgers and it was great. It's right off the exit right before you get to the Tacoma Dome and six blocks from downtown, so it's very convenient.

I had the gluten-free mini-Friesenburger with bacon and cheese...it was HUGE! They also put an egg on it, which was OK but I'll leave that off the next time. The bun was soft and fresh.

They have a dedicated frier, so I stopped and got french fries for the drive back to Seattle. They were ok, not salted so kinda bland even with their "special" dipping sauce and sprinkled salt.

I guess I'll be stopping in anytime I drive by Tacoma!

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By lookingforanswersone · Posted

      Thanks everyone. I've decided to do a gluten challenge (4 slices of bread a day for 3 months) and then do a full gluten panel of all the tests that can be done, just to rule it in or out for sure. I think otherwise psychologically it will keep bothering me

      Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷‍♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana
