Got a reply back from Backyard burgers, it has ingredents from EVERYTHING they sell. To give you and idea, the fries are on page 40 and 41!. Fries have WHEAT FLOUR clearly listed. All versions of there fries. If anyone wants the document, pm and I will fwd you the email.

Their Low Carb burger is gluten-free so long as you watch CC and topings.

I've never understood why companies always have to use flour when seasoning their fries. :angry:

Texture in the final product, particularly with something that's fried, even potatoes.

I fry my own, and never had a problem with the texture! :D

I didn't mean to imply the texture would be bad or have a problem without it, just that it gives it a different texture, that some people might want to highlight. I'm with you... why add it? (But I'm not a huge fan of fries, so I haven't the culinary expertise to weigh the various methods. Well, except oven baked sweet potato fries. Yum!)

The difference is the use of a single family versus a mass-serving restaurant chain.

I would imagine they have found that the average worker has less of a chance to screw the product up when they have a "crisp-enhancer" like flour in use.

Remember, these are 16 year old kids doing the frying -- you have to make it easy for the product to be consistent on a national level (or regional)...

I don't like it either, but I would imagine that is the answer...

I guess my reply was lost when the site crashed.

tarnalberry: I knew what you ment, i was just making a comment onthe aprrent sensless ness of them doing it.

Bron: Intresting not considered that angle, could be somthing to it.

Personaly I prefer to start with with raw fresh potateos, cut them, leave skin on, and frit at 450 for like 4 or so mins in canole oil. The come out perfect every time. :)

      gluten-free stool softener needed for after surgery

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A typical CYA response--since they don't label it that way they don't test for gluten, thus can't guarantee it's gluten-free, even though no gluten ingredients are used in the product.

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I understand your immense frustration after 17 years of excellent management; it's incredibly disorienting to have your numbers spike without a clear cause or physical symptoms. Given your thorough investigation, the Crunchmaster crackers are a very plausible culprit, despite their certification. Certification ensures gluten is below 20ppm, but if you are consuming them daily, even that tiny amount could theoretically accumulate over time to cause an immune response (elevated IgG) without triggering your acute symptomatic response (which is often IgA-mediated). Since your son, the perfect control subject, doesn't eat them, this is an excellent hypothesis to test. I would recommend a strict elimination trial: remove the crackers completely for 4-6 weeks and then re-test your IgG levels. If the numbers drop significantly, you have your answer. Other less obvious sources to consider if the crackers aren't to blame include any other new packaged goods (spices, nuts, chocolate, supplements), a change in the recipe of a trusted product, or even lipstick or toothpaste. Your methodical approach is exactly what will solve this mystery.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Jenny (AZ via TX) · Posted

      When using daily med to look up prescriptions, is there a way to filter ingredients such as gluten or wheat?  I usually take only a couple of drugs but since I’m having surgery, I have 5 new ones to take for a short time post-op. Thanks!   For non prescription drugs, Walgreens has a line called Free&Pure that has gluten free written on the packaging if anyone is interested.

      Purposefully Glutening Myself?

      Dr. Jean Duane published a book on Celiac.com, and although all chapters are worth reading, there are some that cover this perfectly. Here is the link to the 1st chapter: This chapter and others cover this topic well:

      I called Colace to see what they would say. They cannot guarantee the products are gluten free.  No gluten ingredients but mentioned ingredients from pigs.  I did explain the pig part wasn’t the issue, just gluten.  I had asked about Colace clear as I had read that one was gluten free.
