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. :)

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      On the AIP diet, all processed foods are eliminated. This includes gluten-free bread. You'll be eating meats and vegetables, mostly. Meats that are processed, like sausages, sandwich meats, bacons, chicken nuggets, etc., are eliminated as well. Veggies should be fresh, or frozen without other ingredients like sauces or seasonings. Nightshade vegetables...

      Thank you for responding and for prayers. So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine. You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison. I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of. Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including...

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      When I accidentally consume gluten it compromises the well-being of my heart and arteries. Last time I had a significant exposure, about six months ago, I had AFib for about ten days. It came on every day around dinner time. After the ten days or so it went away and hasn't come back. My cardiologist offered me a collection of pharmaceuticals at the time...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.
