Mcdonalds Frappe Reaction

[Alex J]

My son drank a caramel frappe and pretty much straight away got pretty sick. I think it was probably a reaction; he doesn't want to believe it.

 

I think these are supposed to be gluten free, according to ingredients. Anyone know anything about whether they are prone to cross contamination? Are they made on the same machine as the flurries?

 

He's also allergic to nuts and fish, but that usually causes hives/swelling. He doesn't have problems with dairy foods (or large amounts of junk food, come to that).

Have you double checked the ingrediants?  There is always a chance of CC when eating/drinking out.  Hope he feels better soon.

I just avoid McDonald's all together.

 

I've had reactions to things there that are supposed to be gluten free.

I have not eaten McDonalds, Burger King or any of those joints in 8 years, this also includes pre diagnosis years.post diagnosis I avoid eating out if at all possible. We have a place by our house we go to and have found a server who takes us when we come in, after hearing about my condition, and each time we have gone,(it's not been a whole lot) no incidents. But as for the frappes ditch them., I used to get drinks similar at a local coffeehouse. Upon ditching them made with other types of milk,almond,coconut etc I'd still get ill feeling. I think it may have honestly been an issue the cc in that place because the staff didn't seem to get gluten sensitivity/intolerance/celiacs.
