My teen son works at our local MacDonalds, and I asked him about the fries. They do have a dedicated fryer..BUT...he mentioned that one evening a couple of the employees were trying to create a fried apple pie similar to what some other restaurant has, and they stuck one of the apple pies in the french fryer so there you go...possible cc from the crust of the pie. So you see it could easily happen.

That said, I've occasionally had their fries, and I don't think they bothered me. However, I don't do well with fried things so I didn't eat many of them.

Good heavens! We are not going to go down the McDonald's road again are we? :o

Wheat is just a source of the oil ... there is no measurable gluten in it ... There is no vegetable protien in it, and it has been considered "safe" by all the Celiac associations.

Yes, there is a possiblity of Cross contamination ... there is every where ... including most of our own homes. :rolleyes:

Let's just leave it up to each and every individual whether or not they want to eat there and give poor old McDonalds a rest for a few days :lol:

As much as some of us log on here, its funny how suprised we are when people haven't heard about the whole McD's scenario...

Some folks go a few months between log ins -- hence they missed 99% of the McD's drama in here just a few weeks ago...

Too funny...

LOL we need some sort of massive banner on the front page of the board that says "click here for McDonald's fries threads before you proceed" or something like that. Not that we ever get sick of talking about the fries. :)

It is probably because we miss them so much!

      Is this celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      But you didn't answer my question. When you consume gluten, is there an identifiable reaction within a short period of time, say a few hours?

      You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am only wondering why you would need to cut out rice? I've never heard of rice being any issue in those with DH.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      My mother has celiac disease and was diagnosed with Afib around 8 months ago. She's 81 and around 2 months ago had ablation therapy done, which is a very common procedure to treat this, and has been out of Afib 95% of the time since then. Apparently the full effects of this treatment don't kick in for 90 days, so the doctors expect her recovery to possibly reach 100%. Be sure to discuss this with your doctor.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review
