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.

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!
