They make the claim that they are gluten-free but the website Verywell.com, this site rocks and is updated regularly, said that they can be cross contaminated. Anybody ever give these fries a try with any success?

Used to years ago no issue, do not do carbs any more for other AI issues. But I cook with them as a chef. Ora Ida is one of the few french fries you can trust that have performed quite well with the celiac community, I suggest their plain fries, and hash-browns to those who can still tolerate carbs. Some celiacs react to nightshades or have carb issues like me and can not tolerate any kind of potatoes. They did start a new product line of breaded porducts that do contain gluten but from my understanding they were produced in a different facility entirely.

I always keep their hash browns diced and shredded in stock for doing scrambles for guest, and cooking up breakfast for the guys next door (form of income). Cheap easy and pairs great with eggs while being the most whole food compliant you can find. Open Original Shared Link
Other thoughts, stick with the country style premium fries, the others versions sometimes contain xantham gum which many celiacs develop a intolerance to or corn which some have issues with. Open Original Shared Link

I am in the US and use them often.  I don't know anything about that site or where it gets its information or why it would even involve itself in telling Celiacs what foods that are labeled, tested and manufactured to be gluten-free are not gluten-free.

I eat them (sparingly because I am a diabetic and potatoes raise my blood sugar). I have several bags in the freezer and dang it, I gave in and ate some with my lettuce-wrapped burger the other day.  I have some remorse though.  They did not taste as good as I thought they would.  Guess my tastebuds for junk food has diminished.  Homemade fries or roasted sweet potato chips are frankly much tastier!  

Verywell has some great  advice, but keep in mind that the author has DH.  DH can be really hard to manage.  For example, too much iodine can set off the rash or make it worse.    Some people with DH have to be in a really restrictive diet as 20 ppm maybe too much for them.  It maybe too much for some celiacs who are super sensitive.  Not much research has been done to determine different spectrums of celiac disease.  

If you are perplexed like me about how much gluten is too much for you, err in the side on non-processed foods at least until you feel better or ask us!

I eat them all the time and have no problems even though I am fairly sensitive.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears. Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also, I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
