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!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Insomnia help

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
