French Fries

Who'd have thought that frozen frech fries have wheat in them? After all, they are potatos. I have yet to find gluten-free french fries but Albertson's brand Tater Tots are OK! Just be sure not to fry them in oil that french fries were fried in (DH didn't know any better). I ate french fries from McD's twice before reading the ingredients on a bag of frozen french fries at Wal-Mart and Albertson's. Well, that mystery has been solved. No fast food french fries!

It has been noted on this forum in the recent past that Ore-Ida Tater Tots (most/all types) are Gluten Free!

I looked at the ingredients about 6 months ago and thought they weren't. Then I looked again recently and they appeared ok from the label.

Clan Thompson's Smartlist (recent release) has most of Ore-Ida's products as gluten-free but does not mention Tater Tots! Hmmmm.

OreIda makes fries called Fast Food Fries that are really good, and definitely gluten-free.

Cavendish plain straight cut, shoestring, country, and crinkle cuts are gluten-free. I have never noticed a problem with them.

I have also had Valleyfield (sp?) and I haven't noticed any problems with their fries either.

Where can you buy this brand? I haven't had frozen fries since I was a kid!

I used to buy Cavendish fries at Sobey's on PEI. In Alberta, I have been looking for them and I think that the only place I saw them was Cosco. I have found Valleyfield at Zellers here in Alberta.

There is a brand of frozen potato products that I love called Alexia. They make garlic fries, oven fries, mashed potato and more. And they are marked gluten free on the label. I have gotten them at Whole Foods and at Save Mart.

Also a lot of the Ore Ida products are gluten free as well.

I had Alexia fries once and didn't notice any problems. I see Alexia fries in health food stores.

I have also had McCains fries once and didn't notice any problems either. Here are some statements on their website:

"I see that you have a clear allergen statement on your products. I have Celiac Disease and have seen some of your products read ''gluten free''. I was wondering if you could tell me the source of the caramel coloring in your products? McCain Foods USA, Inc. has policies and procedures in place to significantly reduce the likelihood of cross-contact of food allergens in our frozen potato products. Every production facility incorporates the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) program, in addition to Corporate Quality Assurance Procedures, to minimize the occurrence of food-sensitive reactions to our finished product. At this time, the source of our caramel coloring is corn."

"Do the new McCain Smiles® fun shaped potatoes have dairy, gluten, egg, or soy in them? This product contains no ingredients sourced from dairy, gluten (wheat, oats, barley, rye, malt), egg, or soy."

I bought Wegmans french fries since there a big sale last week, their bag has the gluten free G on it. They were very good, too.

go to ore-ida.com and click on FAQ's. Then you can go to an extensive list of their gluten-free products. I'd put the link here but I'm to stupid to figure out how that's done :blink::P:lol:

ENJOY!

Be sure to read the label on each McCain's product. Don't just grab one and go. Some of the "supreme" or "crispy" fries contain wheat. Also, I have never seen gluten-free written on a Canadian McCains package, but we haven't purchased fries in a while. I usually use potatoes and make oven baked fries with my own spices.

I thought Oreida Fries were safe but then I bought the 5# family bag (to save money). I then got sick then I remembered something about bag size makes a difference. Is this true?

according to the site their 5-lb bag is gluten-free. But need to look at exactly which type you have and then the size and compare to this list.

On ore-ida's list they say ore-ida extra crispy fast food fries 26 oz are ok. does this include all of the "fast" potatoes? I have extra crispy easy breakfast potatoes and im not sure about them because they are not on the list. The ingredients all seem fine, but i guess there could be contamination issues? The ingredients are:

Potatoes, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (soybean and cottonseed), salt, dextrose, annatto (vegetable color), sodium acid pyrophosphate, black pepper. So they look ok, but still not sure!

The Alexia oven fries are really good and gluten free. I buy them at Costco. I always cook them a little longer than the package says because I like my fries really crispy. The kids also love them. DD begs me to make them.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
