Wendy's Frostys: gluten-free Again?

My kids (and I) used to love to get Frosty's at Wendy's... then we noticed they were off their gluten-free list (barley was added). Now, I noticed they are back on Wendy's gluten-free list (dated 11/2005).

Has anyone tried them recently? Does any one have any additional info?

Thanks,

Ruth

The small town that I drive through on my way to and from work has a McDonalds, Wendy's, and Subway. Guess I only have one option now, huh? That's ok - Wendy's has been my #1 choice when I do go for fast food now (very infrequent). However, when I was first diagnosed, I was used to eating fast food quite a bit, so I found Wendy's gluten-free menu and ate there a few times a week. At first, that was all I could figure out to eat. I would order their cheese baked potato and a small chili, and dump the chili on the potato - yum yum! Also, the chili, chips, and cheese, some salads, and the frosty is gluten-free (at least in my area anyway).

Of course as with any fast-food joint, or restaurant, you have to worry about cross-contamination.

HI Nini

how did you know they got 100% on their inspection? Did you ask or see a placque or certificate..?

My friend and i have a date for wendy's every 3 months and I've eaten there since being dx and and it's been ok. Last tues I got sooooo sick thought it might be the cc and did eat a 1/2 of tube of sour cream on b/potato and am trying NOT to eat milk products. I haven't been tested for specific allergies sooooo.

I guess we're back to the same old same old......who fixes it, how careful they are, I know the girl taking my order had not idea what i was talking about and even showed her the wendy's print out..she still didn't get it. guess I should have asked for the manager oh Nini it gets so dang hard doesn't it??? :blink:

My Mom used to live a couple of blocks from the wendy's corporate office in Ohio and we always knew they were to best and safest place to go :lol:

Let me know how you ck'd the inspection thing. I'd be interested in ck'n mine out but might have been the s cream.

enjoy your weekend.

actually a local news station does a weekly segment on restaurants that fail their inspections and they go in and confront them, at the end of each segment, they mention some of the restaurants that scored really well, and they specifically mentioned the Wendy's that I go to (address and everything) and said that they just recently scored a perfect 100 on their health inspection! When I went in, I looked for the Health inspection certificate on the wall (which is always supposed to be in clear view where customers can see it) and sure enough it was a perfect 100... They guy's name that does the segment is Adam Murphy and he also goes on a radio station's morning show to recap his segment! It's always an eye opener! Really scary to hear what some of the restaurants fail on... roaches in the kitchen, rat problems, food at wrong temperature, employees not washing hands after going to the bathroom and so on... really gross.

But yeah, I was pleasantly surprised to hear the Wendy's that I go to was rewarded for a good job!

Most newspapers in my expernce have at least a weekly section on it. I never read them. I used wiat tables and for a while was a short order cook. Nothing will help you loose faith in a system more then seening it in action. :)

      Frozen gluten -free meals

      Amy's has been my go-to for gluten-free meals for years. Her cooks need to have feedback--for example, the two enchiladas with authentic Mexican sauce, very tasty. The 1 enchilada w span rice &beans is a disappointment ...the enchilada is terrible with its collection of corn &green peppers instead of cheese and sauce. Not tasty at all.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      You also mentioned eating 10g of gluten for 2 weeks are longer do you think less then 6 weeks is ok? I heard 2 weeks gives false positives what about 4 weeks 10g whole wheat a day? I read 4 slices whole wheat equals to 10g gluten. Would eating 4 slices whole wheat bread a day along with elimination of other gluten suffice? Also do you recommend taking a...

      Welcome to the forum, @Beagirl! What you are feeling is what we have all felt to one degree or another and we typically feel it more intensely when we already have a laundry list of health issues to work around. It's often the result of a sense of loss . . . of having to say goodbye to some good foods that we enjoy that may have been part of a shrinking list of things that are left that we still found pleasure in. And also for many it represents a social loss . . . not being able to accept dinner invitations from family and friends because you are unsure if they know how to cook gluten free . . . not being able to go out to just any restaurant with family and friends because their menu doesn't have gluten free offerings and if it it does, are they careful with regard to cross contamination issues?

      Recently diagnosed with a problem with no cure is annoying and upsetting. Why does this happen? I have enough health problems to deal with and now this. I can live with reading labels and giving up things at I'm 68 years old. I can cook with gluten free everything and not give up good healthy food, look for gluten free restaurants, do all I'm told to do to manage the problem. So I don't know why I'm complaining since it is manageable.

I read 4 slices whole wheat equals to 10g gluten. Would eating 4 slices whole wheat bread a day along with elimination of other gluten suffice? Also do you recommend taking a multivitamin to play it safe or when I take the test ask for full vtamin blood test to see all vitamin levels and whatever im low in take that vitamin? Thanks

      Hello again, @JessikaSwallow78! I think you already posted in another section of the forum. My goodness! You are dealing with quite a few health challenges! Anemia and vitamin/mineral deficiencies are very common with celiac disease. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel and reduces the ability to absorb vitamins and minerals from the food we eat. The lining of the small bowel is the section of the intestines where these things are absorbed and this issue may also be causing your discomfort after eating.  Constipation and diarrhea are classic GI symptoms with celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and you already have two autoimmune disorders, namely, Raynauds and Fibromyalgia. I mention this because autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. When you have one, you often acquire others with time. I think your next step is to get tested for celiac disease. The initial step of testing involves a blood draw from which they check for antibodies which are fairly specific to celiac disease. Ask your doctor to order these two lab tests, TTG-IGA and Total IGA (aka, Immunoglobulin IGA), when he/she does the blood draw. Make sure you don't start cutting back on wheat products in the mean time or you will invalidate the testing. Keep us posted.
