Steak 'n Shake Milkshakes

I'm curious if anyone has any experience with Steak 'n Shake milkshakes. After doing some research into what's Gluten Free there and what isn't, I went there for the first time tonight and was informed in vivid detail by the manager that EVERYTHING related to their milkshakes contained gluten, including the shake base, and that no flavors were free of wheat ingredients, which contradicts my independent research. I was curious if anybody else had stories to share?

Thank you!

Sorry, but I would never eat there as a celiac.   The risk for cross contamination is great.  I would BELIEVE the manager.  They probably glutened a few customers despite their best efforts.  

Eating out is a risk, but it can be done.  Consider a nicer restaurant where the manager and chef are willing to work with you or find an celiac-friendly restaurant in “Find Me Gluten Free” .  Read the reviews made by celiacs.  

We love In N Out (fast food on the WestCoast), but we know that they have a limited menu and that they TRAIN their staff to accommodate allergies.  Their shakes are safe,  not just the ingredients, but they do no mixing on site.  They never change their menu.  Oh, I take that back, they just added hot chocolate! The first menu change in decades!  

Here is the link to the Steak n Shake allergy menu:

I don't think  the manager knows what he is talking about or doesn't want to mess with " allergy" requests.  Which ever I think is, you don't want to eat there.

I know people with Celiac that eat at a local Steak and Shake - burgers without buns, fries and shakes.  So I think it just depends on how lazy the manager is?

He might know something and be scared of CC. There was a HUGE issue a few months ago in the food industry (article was on retraunt news sites) where a girl went into anaphylactic shock from a dairy allergy on a vegan milk shake....the machine had been used for a dairy version and cleaned but not enough. Brought up a whole can of worms with CC and legal issues again.
Following the above thought line, if they offer a cookies and cream version with gluten cookies.....the machines are CCed....the manager does not want to deal with or risk the chance of making someone sick and hurting his business, so he is playing it safe and saying that it is in no way safe to discourage you from trying it and giving him a wavier at you blemishing his locations names with food poisoning claims. Again following the same lines he could be not wanting to risk making you sick and is not comfortable claiming anything fixed in his establishment is safe....so best off not eating out there.

      Could my infant son have been glutened? Hear me out.

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition with a genetic base. The the potential for developing the disease is inherited. but remains latent until triggered by some stress event. Thus, there is an epigenetic component to celiac disease. Once the genes are awakened from dormancy, celiac reactions are triggered by the ingestion of gluten.

      Newbie possible glutening help

      By Beeroney · Posted

      Hi all, just ticked over into my first year gluten-free after being diagnosed last October and feeling a bit rough after a possible glutening. Diagnosed at the ripe age of 38, never been ill in my life before this so safe to say my health anxiety is now borderline unmanageable. I think I may have been glutened a week ago, since then I’ve had that familiar hot/burning feeling in my gut, gas, bloating and all the Bristol Stool chart types in one sitting. I know people are different but does this sound familiar to anyone? Stomach was churning like mad last weekend like it did when I first ill before diagnosis. Acid reflux(which was my first symptom way back when) also reared its ugly head, which I probably the worst symptoms imo. Anxiety is probably up more so as I’m leaving on holiday to USA in 3 weeks time, which would be pretty much ruined if my guts are still messed by the time we leave.  Any words of wisdom appreciated    Bryan

      This doesn't answer your question but I'm not sure if you know that this intolerance is passed down from mother to child through Cord blood and or breast milk.

      I’m having this type of MRI this afternoon,  What specifically do you want to know?  From what I’ve read, not all facilities use the same drink prep.

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄
