Its also important to realize that a number of Celiacs also have "nightshade intolerance", which prohibits another genre of food, including potatoes.

I had a friend in San Diego with Celiac and Nightshade Intolerance. Poor girl had even less options than we do...

She couldn't do french fries ( although I do think she made sweet potato fries)...

Just remember that their subs and burgers are going straight to their thighs! :D

I've heard french fries and donuts are the two worst things you can put in your mouth. Even if celiac wasn't an issue, I wouldn't eat either on a regular basis.

I almost always pack my lunch and bring it to work with me. I'd rather relax and eat in peace than rush out to a restaurant and worry about getting my food choked down so I can get back to work on time. And I save a huge amount of money by not eating out every day.

I just got in from being in Edmonton at my brothers the last three days. W e had Chinese food from one of his favorite restaurants. When we called to order they said they could do the food with the special wheat and gluten-free Tamari. They could make pretty well every item except for the dumplings and thick noodles gluten-free. The owner said they had so many customers that were Celiac that he adjusted the recipes he could to be suited for Celiacs. They marked the ones that I couldn't eat so that there would be no problems. Pearl River is also listed on the Edmonton Celiac Association website. So, I had no problems with the food and it was great.

i don't know if this helps, but Chik-fil-a waffle fries are, from what i understand, generally gluten-free... i think i saw that on the menu but i'm not on my computer so i don't have the link handy. they have a gluten-free menu on their website. so i got brave and went in and asked and the cashier said that they only fry fries in that one fryer and the oil is kept separate, so i ate them and boy, were they good! i do publix frozen fries at home sometimes but dude, they just don't compare. ;)

The CSA statement on McD's site is a bit confusing. But, if you click on bag on a McMeal, click on their fries, calculated, then click on more details, it provides this ingredients list:

Large French Fries

Potatoes, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, natural flavor (beef, wheat and dairy sources), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (to preserve natural color). Cooked in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (may contain partially hydrogenated soybean oil and/or partially hydrogenated corn oil and/or partially hydrogenated canola oil and/or cottonseed oil and/or sunflower oil and/or corn oil). Contains derivatives of wheat and dairy.

Salt

As for BK, I don't trust them. My folks have gotten Onion rings in their fries all the time.

My take on the whole BK from previous experience eating there pre gluten free.... They are dedicated and the fries are put in one container under the lamps and the onion rings in the other. You scoop up with the scoops and some get in the other spots. I have found a lot of times onion rings in the fries. Pre-gluten-free it was an unexpected surprise to have a taste of something else.

I'm a newbie too, but learning fast!

Popcorn's pretty safe unless flavored with something iffy... I always get the plain kind. It can be a little hard to digest for some folks though.

If you like Mexican food, you can do all sorts of stuff really fast with corn tortillas. You can put one on a plate, sprinkle with shredded cheese, microwave 2 minutes, bend into a taco shape & let cool slightly until crisp, then fill with avocado, shredded lettuce, salsa, &c. Really fast & my kids like it. Also we're big fans of Fantastic Foods Instant Refried Beans for this sort of thing. Mix according to directions (I always add some cumin & chili powder), then add about the same amount of salsa, & melt on some cheese if you like. Great as a bean dip with Tostitos, or as a filling for enchiladas, &c.

I've heard of folks using corn tortillas as a base for "pizza" too-- same sort of idea as the micro taco but with mozzarella, italian style tomato sauce (read the label to make sure it's safe) & toppings to taste. There are also Gluten-free crusts you can buy to top as you like.

The Chinese places can be okay if you avoid dark sauces (they almost always contain soy) & bring your own Gluten-free soy to flavor it up. I highly recommend getting the Triumph cards for eating out anywhere.

Good luck! It's hard getting started but you will start finding things that work for you.

Hang in there!

I work at a bk, yes the frys are gluten free, but its really a eat at your own risk thing. The fry fryer is seperte yes, but products do accedently drop in, so i meen there is bread crumbs in the fryer almost always unless you happen to come in right after a cleaning, and then also the baskets for the frys are the same baskets they use for all the other products, so the baskit itself could be contaminated,

personly i ate some frys about a month ago from work, i cleaned the baskit and it was even new oil and i still got sick, but my stomic was also in bad condition so i should not have tried to eat frys. So eat them at your own risk

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
