Steak 'n Shake Milkshakes

I'm curious if anyone has any experience with Steak 'n Shake milkshakes. After doing some research into what's Gluten Free there and what isn't, I went there for the first time tonight and was informed in vivid detail by the manager that EVERYTHING related to their milkshakes contained gluten, including the shake base, and that no flavors were free of wheat ingredients, which contradicts my independent research. I was curious if anybody else had stories to share?

Thank you!

Sorry, but I would never eat there as a celiac.   The risk for cross contamination is great.  I would BELIEVE the manager.  They probably glutened a few customers despite their best efforts.  

Eating out is a risk, but it can be done.  Consider a nicer restaurant where the manager and chef are willing to work with you or find an celiac-friendly restaurant in “Find Me Gluten Free” .  Read the reviews made by celiacs.  

We love In N Out (fast food on the WestCoast), but we know that they have a limited menu and that they TRAIN their staff to accommodate allergies.  Their shakes are safe,  not just the ingredients, but they do no mixing on site.  They never change their menu.  Oh, I take that back, they just added hot chocolate! The first menu change in decades!  

Here is the link to the Steak n Shake allergy menu:

I don't think  the manager knows what he is talking about or doesn't want to mess with " allergy" requests.  Which ever I think is, you don't want to eat there.

I know people with Celiac that eat at a local Steak and Shake - burgers without buns, fries and shakes.  So I think it just depends on how lazy the manager is?

He might know something and be scared of CC. There was a HUGE issue a few months ago in the food industry (article was on retraunt news sites) where a girl went into anaphylactic shock from a dairy allergy on a vegan milk shake....the machine had been used for a dairy version and cleaned but not enough. Brought up a whole can of worms with CC and legal issues again.
Following the above thought line, if they offer a cookies and cream version with gluten cookies.....the machines are CCed....the manager does not want to deal with or risk the chance of making someone sick and hurting his business, so he is playing it safe and saying that it is in no way safe to discourage you from trying it and giving him a wavier at you blemishing his locations names with food poisoning claims. Again following the same lines he could be not wanting to risk making you sick and is not comfortable claiming anything fixed in his establishment is safe....so best off not eating out there.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work to avoid breathing any particles, but they still could end up on your skin. Another alternative is searching for a new job.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. Regarding sourdough bread, while it may have lower levels of gluten depending on how it’s made, it’s still not safe for people with celiac disease unless it’s explicitly gluten-free. The immune response to gluten in celiac disease is triggered by even tiny amounts of gluten, so adhering strictly to a gluten-free diet is essential for health and healing. If you suspect Ozempic or other factors are influencing your symptoms, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider or a specialist to ensure you’re fully addressing your health needs.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. Re: tTG-IgA:
