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.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
