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.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
