Bw3's - Gluten Free Or Close?

[Eric-C]

We went to BW3's for lunch at work on Friday. Normally when we go someplace like that I order potato skins or something else that is safe. BW3's is nearly impossible for gluten free.

I decided to have the wings that are unbreaded. I spoke to the waitress and she did warn me that they are fried in the same fryer as the rest of the stuff.

I would consider my reaction severe is the concentration is high. CC doesn't bother me. Now when I have something that for sure has a decent amount of gluten I get pretty bad. Before my wife became gluten sensitive we'd share dessert like a hot fudge cream puff. I'd eat the ice cream/fudge, she'd eat that plus the cream puff. I know some people are so sensitive they can't do that.

I eat fries and other things made in fryers made with other breaded items so I decided to try it.

Of course, I got pretty sick last night. Now we also went to our favorite Italian place because they make me Veal Marsala with corn starch and not flour.

My wife swears they do not make it with corn starch....3 of the times in the past 5 months we've been there I've gotten sick...however the day before I had something questionable, as in BW3's this time.

Before I had the mislabeled mushrooms from Whole Foods and previous to that was when I first learned soy sauce had wheat in it.

What has everyones consensus been?

It's possible that they make it with cornstarch, but that cornstarch might not be gluten free. I don't really use a lot of cornstarch, but I have read that some brands are not gluten free. There is also the chance that some wheat flour got into the cornstarch, either from someone dipping a measuring cup or spoon in there that was contaminated, or simply from flour flying through the air.
