Frustrated With Mcdonalds

I am extremely frustrated with McDonalds. My son is 5 and was diagnosed in May. I got on the phone right away and called the food places he liked best to see which he could still eat. The first being McDonalds. I was given an 800 number for their nutrition center which I called. They assured me that the fries were gluten free. Today I heard on the news that McDonalds is releasing a statement that their fries do contain gluten. I checked on line and sure enough, their is wheat and "breading". I called the Nutrition center today very upset. My son has been eating fries several times a month. They said that the company that makes the fries never disclosed to them that the fries are cooked in oil that contains wheat for flavoring even before it gets to them. It was this new law requiring allergens to be named that made them tell McDonalds. I am frustrated because here I am being careful, and I am wrongly informed.

I am absolutely disgusted with McDonalds. I have to go and tell my son that he can never eat McDonalds French Fries again and it just breaks my heart. :angry: Being a GIGANTIC food chain, you would think they could put there foot down and say "find a different oil" but of course they won't. I've already written a letter to them addressing my disgust.

Thank you for the article, I had no idea.

I agree, we are in the same boat, our nutritionist actually priased McDonalds because they use a separate frier for their french fries.

My wife and I both wrote the company we were beyond furious with them.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.
