Swiss Chalet - Gluten Free Ribs Cooked On Same Grill As Wheat Buns!

While searching for some info on Swiss Chalet for tonight's dinner out I came across an old thread from this forum discussing the possibility that Swiss Chalet ribs were / were not gluten free (short version is their website says they are gluten-free, a manager said no, subsequent investigation said they are in fact gluten-free - BUT...)

We went there tonight, explained as usual about celiac, ordered various things including the ribs, which the master list and the server both agreed were gluten-free. Manager appeared soon after, was really on the ball, apparently also has a kid with unspecified allergies, and explained that while the ribs themselves are not made with gluten, they are cooked on the same grill as the buns are toasted on (!).

Which kind of sucks that they do that, but we were actually really happy to have found a place with someone who actually caught that and made sure we were informed (and this took place after we had ordered, so they wound up fixing it at no charge to us). My celiac child loves the place, but I had gone off Swiss Chalet due to some unimpressive food experiences. This place also seems to do a better job than the other ones I've been to (at least the ribs were nice, vs the last Swiss Chalet I tried they were terrible). So if you're in the Burlington (Ontario) area, you might try Open Original Shared Link. If you do, make sure to tell them you are there because you have heard they are really careful about allergy information. Also, note that the server was just going off the master list from Swiss Chalet HQ, so you still have to check - but at least the idea that we are a meaningful market segment might trigger some additional effort.

      Probably NCGS then and there is also the possibility of an H. Pylori infection.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Matt13 · Posted

      Hi Scott and Knitty! Thanks for the answers! You are very kind! Let put it this way: 1.I am now confirmed seronegative celiac. My Last push gastroscopy concluded that there is no atrophy and everything is ok in that regard. 2. From diagnostics perspective so far i have done multiple intestinal TUS, Mr Enterography, Multiple wide spectrum blood tests, Normal gastroscopy, Push gastroscopy(duodenum and jejunum)., Multiple X rays,Swallow test barium....i mean the whole package... 3. from doctors perspective i am in touch with 2-3 gastroenterologist, immunology and rheumatology doctor and general physician...and with psychiatric doctor. My problem is that i am still feeling like "s$#&" EVERY DAY even now when i am on GFD and i am still losing weight with very little energy through day. When i lay down, i do not feel pain or discomfort but during the day i feel bloated, intermitten pain in abdomen(usually upper QD and around belly), discomfort throught whole abdomen and other parts of body and with very little energy. I am trying my  best to be 100 % GFD but i am on very light mediterian food diet. I am currently on gfd  13 months (with small mistakes) Currently i am on ppi 20mg in the morning, now drinking ensure plus because of muscle and weight loss. My diagnose procedure is now lasting almost 3 years and since then i have lost 13-15kg. Please but please i am currently losing my mind...is there anybody who is going through this kind of hell like me? What more can i do? Thanks in advance, Kind regards, Matt

      Food Tasting Salty

      By Mnofsinger · Posted

      I appreciate the input and that would make sense to irritation/mouth sores. I'm more asking directly to the taste of the food being too salty as opposed to being irritated by salt.
