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.

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that.
