Steak And Shake Southwest Chicken Salad

[TraceyJo]

So what am I missing? Is the gluten in the ranch dressing? The web site says the ranch dressing is gluten free but it also says there is wheat in the southwest chicken salad. I'm a little lost here.

"Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad

Grilled Chicken Fillet, Lettuce Blend, Pico de Gallo (Tomatoes, Red Onions, Jalapeno Peppers, Cilantro, Lime Juice), Corn, Black Beans, Fried Tortilla Strips, Cheddar-Jack Cheese, Chipotle Sauce, Lime, and Ranch Dressing.

Contains: wheat, milk, soy, eggs"

Maybe the " buttermilk ranch dressing " listed as gluten free is different than the ranch dressing in the salad?

It's not a complete ingredient list. Do they list the ingredients for the tortilla strips, ranch dressing, grilled chicken & chipolte sauce in another place? Doubt the black beans are just beans - usually they have salt at least. Who knows what is in these items.

[TraceyJo]

These are listed separately :

Corn and Black Beans

Corn, Black Beans (Black Beans, Water), Poblano , Red Bell Peppers, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

Contains: milk, eggs

That might be. Something sure got me and that's all I ate that day. After that I spent the rest of the day in pain and didnt eat anything else. Starting to feel better today, but I still have a ways to go to feel good again. I was so amazed at how good I felt after I went gluten free that when I started to have pain yesterday, I panicked. When i could not identify exactly what caused it, i was affraid that i was going back to the way i felt before and would have to start all over again trying to find a "fix". I've only been gluten-free for a little over a month and have not eaten out but a couple times. This is the second time that I've messed up. The first time I knew what I had eaten right away, but when I couldn't pin point a cause it worried me. The next time we try to eat out, we'll go somewhere else, at least until I get better at this.

i just read the title of this thread to my hubs and said "am i eating that?"  and he said 'NOOOOO'  lolz - i probably will never eat any sort of fast food again.  it only takes one mistake to knock you down, and (in my opinion) they don't pay fast food slingers enough $$ to care enough to be ever so careful not to get crumbs, etc, (harmless in their minds, in their defense) onto your food without you even knowing it.  i *do* still eat out, but i am picky! picky! and it's not that often.   do you have any other choices of restaurants?

There is a Bob Evans near by and I have eaten there once and they were great. I didn't have any problems. I don't think I'll be going back to steak and shake anymore.
