New York Fries

I just had some fries at New York Fries in Market Mall, Calgary. This is the second time it has happened so it will never happen again. They assured me their oil was Sunflower oil, nothing is cooked in there but the fresh cut fries that have no gluten etc., in them. However, it is now twice that I have been very ill with sweating, pain, and nausea, D and almost vomiting. I fear that because they have hot dogs and buns there that maybe gluten flakes from the buns are in the fry containers or in the oil. It takes a very, very small amount, just crumbs to make me sick.

Has anyone else eaten there and had this problem there?

I would guess that the oil may be contaminated from the hotdog and/or hamburger buns.

That is my take on it also. I am sure sick from this and it is never happening again.

Yeah, I wouldn't eat there either. That's really too bad. I sure wish that there was a gluten free fast food place!

I'm sorry you got sick. I eat at the one on the U of A campus and have never been sick, nor from any of the other locations. I know that some NYF don't do hotdogs so maybe those are the safer bet, when it's fries only.

Rusla,

How do you react to other fried foods??

Other fried foods are no problem after I had my gall bladder removed some 34 years ago. This problem has happened twice at this place and it is identical glutening.

I am so sorry you got sick. I get so angry when it happens to me.

Sasha, I work at the UofA and have never notice a NYF - where is it?

It's in HUB. It's near the north end, not too far past the A&W but before Cookies By George and North Java. What do you do for food on campus? I've bee to The Potato Man and just had plain potatoes. But other than that I don't really eat.

Thanks Sasha.

It's really hard for me as I'm located right across from SUB and there is nothing there I can eat. I have a drawer full of gluten-free snacks and I bring my own lunch every day. I'm often in meetings over the lunch hour and, of course, they always bring in sandwiches. If I can't eat before or after the meeting due to my schedule, I'll often bring my lunch with me. People are getting used to me and my tupperware turning up at meetings.

We eat at NYF a couple of times a month and it is one of the only places that my son hasn't been glutened. The location we go to does the hotdogs but I noticed they keep the counters meticulously clean. Also, I know the seasonings are not safe - so I only give my son the ketchup in the package so he doesn't use the ketchup sitting with the spices.

Sorry you were glutened.

I am not able to see how the counters are kept and it was for sure a glutening. I have leper face today from it.

Rusla, I was going to ask about the salt, too. Is it seasoned salt, or table salt? I'm sure you've asked about new suppliers, equipment, oil, etc.

I eat at NYF at the U of A too because I don't know of any other gluten-free foods. It's terrible, I have been there every week this term because I have a 9 hour day and I can't physically carry enough food with me. It's table salt that they put on their fries.

I wouldn't eat there, whenever I get glutened from a place I will never go there ever again. If it makes me sick, then I say, well it is worse than eating the food, just stop going there. Well I would never know waht NYF is out in Cali.

HAHA! I managed to resist until last week and this week. And I've made up for lost time. I don't even know how many hours I've spent in Rutherford working on papers and I think I have had about 10 things of NYF. SO not good for the arteries!

Good luck on your exams, I am assuming you are a student?

(I have a paper due tomorrow, which I have only just finished, hence the 4am thing! and now my mind is too worked up to sleep)

What a small world. I spend a good deal of time in Rutherford. I probably study right next to you. I am graduating this year so it's been an intense year but the end is so near. Guess what I managed to not eat any NYF this week. Good luck to you too.

Yeah it's a very small world... it seems that all the Edmontonians on here are U of A people! Congrats on managing not to succumb to the temptation of NYF and of course on graduating... I'm only finishing up my second year and I had to take it easy this year, just 3 courses each semester so I'm headed for an extra semester at the end I think. I'm doing 2 courses during spring session this year, so we'll see. What are you in? I'm a soc major/psych minor... but I think in the end I'm headed for Medicine.

There are some "french fry" places in New York that specialize in fries but they are touted as "Belgian" and the fries are called "frites". I guess everyone wants to be eating the cuisine of some other place. If you're in Canada, you want New York food. If you're in New York, you want Belgian...

And speaking of frites, Pomme Frites on Second Avenue makes the best fries and they are -- as of this posting -- gluten free. They simply don't serve anything but whole-potato fries there so their fryers are truly dedicated. Plus the place is small enough so that you you're literally inches from the fryers so if someone, say, decided to deep fry a loaf of bread as a gag, you'd notice. It's not like a fast food place where evil stuff goes on in the back away from the customers' eyes.

And it's located in the East Village and it's open until 4:00am on weekends so it's become my new apres-drinking food. Finally! Something to replace that late nite slice of pizza!

Medicine was my first goal, but I found out that chemistry is not my friend. I am a Conservation Biology major. I did my degree in five years so that I could work. There's nothing wrong with spending an extra year at uni.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      About Celiac Remission

      This idea comes up often, but it’s important to separate theory from what’s actually supported by evidence. In celiac disease, the immune system does not “forget” gluten in a permanent or reliable way, even after long periods of avoidance, and the celiac genes do not turn off. While antibody levels (like tTG IgA) can normalize on a strict gluten-free diet an...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Gluten testing is normally reported in ppm (parts per million), which is equivalent to mg/kg, not micrograms by itself. A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold...

      Medications

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold; if it’s <0.025 mcg per kilogram, it would be extremely low and well within GF limits. Without the denominator, the result is incomplete. It’s reasonable to follow up with the company and ask them to confirm the result in ppm using a validated method (like ELISA R5)—that’s the standard used to assess gluten safety.

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fact that it helped bloating suggests it may be affecting gut–nerve signaling, which makes sense in the context of SIBO, but that doesn’t mean the side effects should be ignored. You’re carrying a heavy load right now with ongoing skin, eye, and neurological uncertainty, and living in that kind of limbo is exhausting on its own. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and discouraged when systems and providers don’t meet you where you are—your experience is valid, and continuing to advocate for yourself, even when it’s hard, really does matter. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      I am not aware of an air detector for gluten, but Nima Partners sells a device that can detect gluten in minutes in a small sample of a meal or food that you eat. They are also a sponsor here for full disclosure: https://nimanow.com
