Cheeseburger In Paradise

DH and I went to Cheeseburger in Paradise tonight, not intentionally to feed him (he'd already had dinner and I hadn't). It turns out that they have a pretty extensive gluten free menu, complete with alcoholic drink options. We were really impressed.

I had St. Bart's Citrus Chicken, and it was really, really good. They also have Blue Bell ice cream, long revered in the midwest US.

On the way out we saw a sign giving approval from the Gluten Intolerance Group on the door.

I'm glad you had a good experience. I've eaten there twice with mixed results. The first time we went was a week night and they were not very busy. The waitress listened intently to me and assured me she knew all about gluten-intolerance and celiac's disease. I got a burger without a bun and fries (This is the only sit-down place in town I have found with gluten-free fries so I was thrilled). When they brought out the entrees the server actually asked who had the gluten free meal. The manager came by to check on us and make sure everything was okay. I was thrilled by that first experience and more importantly I DID NOT get sick!

Unfortunately I can't say the same for my second visit. We went on a busy friday night. The waiter did not really listen. He was trying to get us to add cheese and bacon to the fries (I'm allergic to pork and lactose intolerent). I told him TWICE NO Cheese and Bacon. He nodded like he understood, but when we got the food the burger had cheese on it and the fries had cheese and bacon! As least I got the burger without a bun, but that was the only thing he got right. We were going someplace after dinner and starving and didn't want to wait to send the food back so my husband switched fries with me (He had plain fries) and I ate the burger with cheese. Sometimes cheese does not bother me or only causes mild bloating, but bacon would send me to the hospital. Unfortunately, when I tasted my husband's fries they tasted different from my first visit. They had some kind of seasoning on them which I don't remember from the first visit. I hadn't seen anything in the menu about having to special order the fries without seasoning, but I suspect either the fries or the cheese got me. Within only a few minutes of eating I had to go to the restroom. I was sick for the rest of the evening and we had to cancel our after dinner plans. I don't know if I will go back, but at least I learned my lesson not to go on a busy weekend. Had it not been for the plans after dinner I would have sent the food back.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
