Frozen Unlabelled French Fries


higher

Recommended Posts

We have a huge sack of frozen french fries in the fridge that are straight  cut. I'm wondering just how common it is to put gluten/wheat flour in french fries that are sold frozen at the store, they've been sitting there for a month because my whole family is gluten free and have no idea what to do with them. obviously i'm talking wheat flour actually in the ingredients, unlike CC from restaurant fryers..

They have no label?  I don't think it is common to put wheat on fries, but I never eat anything I don't know the ingredients of.  How did you buy them with no label?  Maybe the place you bought them could tell you the ingredients?

The cafeteria at the company I work for sells fries and although I wouldn't eat them becuase of the shared frier, I did ask to see the ingredient list becuase they looked like they had a extra cripy coating and sure enough the third ingredient was wheat flour.   Now these didn't look coated like a Checker's fry, they just didn't look like a nice smooth fry, they had a little extra something or crisp look to them.   Probably not a common practice, but personally I wouldn't eat anything I didn't have an ingredient list for.  It would be just my luck they would have used wheat on mine :)

I wouldn't eat them.  When in doubt, throw it out.  Or give to a friend.

      Our support groups in Iowa have tried for years to educate doctors and resource sites like this one.  We have held yearly conferences with continued education classes.   We have brought in Dr. Murray, Dr. Fasano, Dr. Green and Dr. elliott.  In those many years we may have had 2 doctors attend.  We sent them information, with no response.  I talked to my personal doctor and she said their training for Celiac was to show them a skinny man in boxer shorts and a huge stomach.  Saying if you see this, it is Celiac.  If it isn't in their playbook then they don't care.  Most call it an allergy with no mention of our immune system.  There is so much false information on the internet.  Then people don't understand why they can't get well and are acquiring more immune diseases. I mention this site to everyone.  Scott has working hard for the Celiac community.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.

      Hi, Yes, the rash has gone. I still get the itches but there is nothing to see now, apart from a lot of discoloured areas where the rash was worst. Occasionally I get a single lump come up, a bit like hives, but no bigger than a pea and it goes after 24hrs and a steroid cream application.  And yes, giving the gluten-free diet 110%. Very careful about any cross contamination.  This is my fifth autoimmune condition so well and truly on that bandwagon.
