I have listened to the debate and didn't bother to check the allergen menus, ha ha jokes on me!

Yes, I should have looked for the info myself and I finally did! If you want fast food french fries, stick with Burger King!!! They were the only ones that I found that didn't list wheat or gluten as an allergen in regard to their french fries.

Cripes I am so annoyed with myself for not checking this out myself.

You are opening a can of worms with the mention of fast food fries and the debate on if some are gluten free or not. ;)

My son and I both eat McDonalds fries with no ill effects.

I avoid them all. Better safe than sorry. I have heard BK's are safe, but I am the person that ALWAYS ends up with the mystery prize, a hidden onion ring. :(

Are you sure Burger King's fries are safe? There are always other things in the same fry box like onion rings and what not. Eek!

Burger Kings policy is to have a separate fryer as is the same with most fast food restaurants. I have never seen foods come out of the french fry fryer.

I can only tell you what they do and don't say on their websites and all of them except Burger King says there is wheat in their fries.

I have had too many issues over the last year that it isn't worth it to me to eat something that doesn't bother most people. I don't like being sick and if I had gone to the fast foods websites in the first place then I wouldn't have eaten the fries. MY OWN FAULT!!! but i listened to people on here say it didn't bother them. Again my fault for not checking the companies website. SO I thought it might be a good idea to post this information for those of us that get sick easier and wonder why.

What about Chick-fil- a???? Anyone know about these? The fries are listed as gluten free, so in a bind we get fries and a fruit cup. Has anyone had issues there?

I ONLY eat Chik-fil-A fries. Unfortunately... the closest one is a 2 hour drive away, so they're a rare and special treat!

Their website says they are gluten-free. I would trust them. Pre-gluten-free days I don't recall ever getting anything stray in my fries.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
