Celiac Disease and McDonald’s – Are There Safe Options?

I have celiac disease and am very careful about avoiding gluten. I’m a frequent traveler and sometimes end up at McDonald’s restaurant for a quick burger meal. I’ve heard mixed opinions about whether their food is safe for people with celiac disease.

Can anyone share their experiences or knowledge about McDonald’s menu options for those with celiac disease? Are there any specific items that are known to be gluten-free, or any tips on how to avoid cross-contamination?

McDonald’s is not safe.  Most fast food places aren’t.  Chic-fi-let or Culver’s have gluten-free buns and they try to accommodate those with Celiac disease.

We've done some articles that might be helpful, but cross-contamination may be an issue at any restaurant, including McDonald's:

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
