IHOP

I got very, very sick and spent the first day of vacation throwing up and diarrhea. The level of my reaction indicates the food I ate was not gluten free (not just cross contamination)

I ordered Belgian Waffle Platter (waffle, bacon, 2 eggs over easy) from the gluten free menu. I asked server if the gluten free food was cooked on a clean service, with different utensils and gloves. She said that oh yes the gluten free food is cooked separately and the manager was cooking it today. When my food arrived it looked amazing. I asked again if it was gluten free and the server said it was. The big fluffy waffle was delicious. Too delicious. I began throwing up, etc 2 hours later. So sick all afternoon and evening. I don’t know what happened. I’m calling the manager tomorrow. I don’t know what I could have done more to prevent this reaction - except never eat here again!

The menu says Gluten Friendly not Gluten Free. Being a Celiac I’m taking that as the food is cross contaminated.

They have gluten FRIENDLY, not gluten free. They told me that celiacs can eat the pancakes, so I did. I am so sick right now, they were definitely not gluten friendly.

We went this past Sunday. The chain got bad reviews about cross contamination so I was skeptical. I told the waitress the I have to have my food gluten free. I don’t tell people Celiac because I find most don’t understand. So I say Gluten Allergy and they respond positively. She spoke to the chef and he offered to clean the flat top and utensils and cook only my items on it. The food came out and I had no issues with the Pancakes, eggs and hash browns. So good job Dover IHOP!
