In-n-out Burger

In N Out Burger offers protein style burgers (wrapped in lettuce as a bun) AND I've spoken with my students who work there: if they even accidentally put bread on your burger they make your entire burger over for you without you having to say a word. They are super careful.

I had a shake there yesterday and it was great..

Aren't shakes usually OK as long as it's not a malt?

mmmm they have a neopolitan shake there (choc/straw/van mixed) it is out of this freakin' world!

My prob with In & Out is that they toast the buns on the grill next to the burgers. I went there ( not the one by me) totally excited to have a protein style burger and left because you can see everything where they are cooking and the grill was covered in buns. Its always so busy that I didn't feel like asking them to clean a part of the grill to cook my burger.

What is your experience with that aspect, because there is one walking distance to my house and it is sooooo yummy I would love to eat there.

My dad does some electrical work for In-N-Out, and he asked a guy if they can be absolutely sure that is gluten-free. He said to ask for the manager of the store, then ask him for a Gluten-Free Burger. He/she should know what that is. They will cook it on a totally separate, clean grill and someone with clean hands will make the protein-style burger! I haven't had ANY problems with In-in-Out since then! :D

Hope I could help!!!

Man that will make me so happy if I can work that out. Their food is soooo good, and I know their fries are ok, its just potatoes, and they don't do other fried food.

Yeah their shakes are awesome too. If I hadn't just had dinner, I'd be there right now.

Yummmmy.

Does anyone know if In N Out thousand island dressing is gluten free? I bought a burger there tonight and couldn't eat it because it had dressing on it.

I had already left the store and wasn't able to go back so I had to scrap the entire burger.

If anyone knows this, please let me know asap! I want to have In n Out again!!!

The Thousand Island Dressing is NOT gluten-free!! Well, at least they don't put it on it if you ask for a gluten-free burger... so it is safe to assume that it is NOT gluten-free.

I was still having problems with protein style burgers there but then found out I am sensitive to citric acid and the wash they use on the lettuce must contain it because I now order it "Flying Dutchman" with onion (Flying Dutchman is two patties with cheese between, that's it) and I haven't had a problem. I haven't asked about the lettuce wash there but just avoid it now. Since we usually get it to go and come back to work, I will toast some gluten-free bread (yep, in my own toaster at my desk - don't think I'm not the talk of the office!) and eat it just like everyone else. Mmmmmm!

I never liked their fries, honestly, which is good because I can't eat potatoes now (nightshade) and I don't eat refined sugar so I have never had the shakes. But they sound great!

Potatoes are part of the nightshade family, along with tomatoes and, I think, peppers, but I'm not sure about that one. Sometimes, if you're sensitive to one type of plant, you'll be sensitive to the whole family of plants. Nightshade's a tough one to work with, because those items are also pretty common (particularly that potato!).

(Ironically, tomatoes, as a part of the nightshade family to which the deadly belladona herb belongs, were also thought to be very poisonous because they were in the same family. So, for a long time, many parts of the world didn't eat them!)

I was reading the new SillyYaks Restaurant list and the dressing is gluten-free but there is a risk of cross contamination because they use a knife to spread it on the buns.

So protien style no dressing. Yummy.

My hubby just went to In N Out to get us lunch. No dressing this time! That's OK cus' I don't like dressing on burgers, anyway. I told him to ask for it gluten-free and to ask for it plain. I'll put my own ketchup/etc. on it at home.

Can't wait!

Thanks for the tip about the dressing. I figured it was not gluten-free! Glad I played it safe and didn't eat it!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
