Hi!

In-n-out sells burgers in lettuce wraps. Anyone know if they're gluten-free? What about the fries? i heard that the fries are from friends because they dont even make onionrings or anything. so its just fresh potatoes being cut and fried by themselves! any help would be great!! thanks!

I have heard the same as you! Sadly, I have never had the chance to eat there. We had planned a stop there on the way back from Disneyland but it was so crowded.

Heres the deal with IN N OUT. Burger- Protien Style, no sauce, no grilled onions. Ask them to cook it away from the buns, they often have a grill in the back left open for special orders. Fries are ok, Shakes are ok. Cheese is fine if you can handle dairy. I also ask them to use a seperate bag if ordering with others, since the burgers aren't wrapped all the way. Be aware your order will take longer than everyone elses. I eat there about once a month. Fantastic. You may want to avoid crush times too, I'm not sure where you are, but the one near me gets rediculously busy during lunch hours.

I have eaten fries at In-and-Out with no problem. As far as I know, they only cook fries in their cookers. A burger wrapped in lettuce should be safe.. BUT, I think their sauce is NOT safe. If you order a burger, I suggest telling them that you need a gluten-free burger. Ask them to clean a section of the grill to cook your burger - they may toat burger buns on that grill - and ask for NO sauce.

Technically their sauce is gluten-free, but they use a knife to dip into the sauce and then spread it on the buns, so its a no-no. If you order the way I described above, you'll be fine.

i eat there all the time and am fine.

The onions are not gluten free? I eat them all the time. I don't think they're grilled, though, just raw. Well, i never get sick...hmmm?

The raw onions are fine, the grilled onions with the brown sauce are not ok.

Oh that's good to know. I've always heard not to order the sauce; now I know why.

I eat there fairly often and have had pretty good luck. I don't get sauce or onions and, obviously, no bun (and no cheese either because of the dairy). However, there is definitely some cross contamination in the way that the burgers are made. The same person who handles the buns also touches the lettuce that is used for the lettuce wrapped burgers. My boyfriend just pointed this situation out to me recently (very sweet of him to notice). I've definitely had some mild smyptoms after eating there.

      I have had a reaction to chocolate within 2 hours, severe abrupt dieherra.  With alcohol it can extend up to 12 hrs before the first reaction, but not as severe as chocolate.  I am also allergic to all fish and carry an epihpen.

      Welcome to the forum @oyea, have you ever been screened for celiac disease? You symptoms sound like they could be celiac disease related.
    • Scott Adams
      Since chocolate has a laxative/stimulant effect on the digestive system, similar to coffee, some people do report IBS-like symptoms when they eat it, however, as long as the chocolate is gluten-free, the cause of such symptoms would be unrelated to celiac disease.

      Since those with celiac disease have a much higher change of having or getting additional autoimmune diseases it could definitely affect your health insurance rates. Prior to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), individuals with celiac disease could indeed be charged significantly higher premiums for private health insurance or even be denied coverage altogether, as it was a pre-existing condition that insurers could medically underwrite. The ACA's protections, which prohibit denying coverage or charging higher premiums based on health status, eliminated this practice, ensuring people with celiac disease could not be penalized financially for their diagnosis. However, this protection is not inherently permanent and is tied directly to the ACA's continued existence and enforcement; should the law be substantially weakened or repealed in the future, it is possible that a return to medical underwriting could once again allow insurers to charge individuals with pre-existing conditions like celiac disease higher premiums for their health coverage.

      @Jmartes71, your story is a powerful and heartbreaking testament to the profound failure of the medical system to understand and properly manage celiac disease and its long-term consequences. Being dismissed and medically gaslit for three decades after an initial diagnosis is an unimaginable burden that has cost you your health, your career, and your sense of justice. The fact that a primary care physician of 25 years would offer to "fluff up" a disability claim rather than properly advocate for you based on a well-documented history is a devastating betrayal. While the positive HLA-DQ2 test offers a sliver of validation, it is infuriating that it isn't enough to end the fight, and it is completely understandable that you find this ongoing battle for basic belief and care to be utterly exhausting and deeply unfair.
