'Course not, I'm sick of hurting with my stomach...even though I kind of thought they had gluten, I eat them until they released they had wheat in them.

And, for anyone who said 'yes', why risk having those terrible side-effects when you can drag out the deep fryer, go get some frozen french fries at your local market and have 'em at home? Yeah, I know, it's nothing like fast-food kind. But, I've learned with Celiac that your life should not revolve food and there's more to life than it. Eat to live, not live to eat.

Me? I'm from the 'States in Tennessee. :lol:

NO!!!!!!!!

even if they say "gluten free"

have you ever seen the fast food kitchen. not clean AT ALL. and certainly not organized enough to protect me from CC. There is now way. i dont eat anything from fast food except plain salads, and only when it is unavoidable

Yes. USA.

Had some today, along with a double quarter pounder with cheese, sans bun of course.

I was really sick for two years, got completely better immediately on a strict gluten-free diet. Going on 30 months now and haven't had a reaction to them one single time. I don't believe there is any measurable "gluten" in Mcdonald's fries.

best regards, lm

I might have commented somewhere in the past ten pages, but YES.

I have no problem eating McD's fries, but always away that CC can be a high risk.

Yes. The wheat is a starting product in a flavoring in the oil. That component is processed in a way that is analogous to distillation. They have been ELISA tested to be <20 ppm, so I consider them safe, cross contamination issues aside. In regards to cross contamination, I don't even think the employees touch the fries! :P They open them up, dump them in dedicated friers, then use the metal tool to put the fries into the containers. I trust ELISA methods and processes such as distillation.

lol, sometimes I look at all the fast food commercials and ask myself how do people actually eat that stuff? Sorry went off topic there. :ph34r:

I agree!

I have not eaten McD's in years and it has nothing to do with being Celiac. I only found out about Celiac this year, but it has been over 10 years since i will go to a fast food place (with the exception of Chipotle - lol)

Nope, but mostly because McDonald's fries are gross. I always preferred Wendy's. :P

NO.

Always hated McD's because it made me so sick--didn't realize it was the evil bun.

Now, I willingly go there with my kids and am never sick. I consider their fries safe. Actually, it's the only place out that I will consider eating fries. :D

No, I won't eat at McD.

Foodiegurl, that's funny because Chipotle (last I heard) was owned by McD's.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
