You Are Not My Friend, Wingstop...

I emailed WingStop to see if they were still gluten-free, since I noticed a breaded item sneak on to their menu, and I didn't know about their oils, fryers, etc. I guessed they were no longer gluten-free, but what the heck. I gave them a brief description of Celiac and gluten, and they give me primarily LOW CARB INFORMATION and toss in gluten-free at the end. Idiots. :rolleyes:

I could make a snarky comment about stupid Texan companies but I'll refrain...

"Dear Chelsea:

We appreciate your interest in including our menu items in your healthy life style.

It is always our goal to satisfy our guests. We have a number of items on our menu, with recipes that are subject to slight changes throughout the year. We do not have the nutritional values calculated for these items. Since we prepare our food fresh to order, the recipe specifications can vary. Thus we are unable to provide detailed information regarding the ingredients / nutritional information of our menu items.

We can provide you with the following information regarding our sauces:

TOTAL CARBOHYDRATES (serving size 10 wings)

• Lemon Pepper…0 grams

• Original Hot……2 grams

• Cajun……………4 grams

• Atomic…………..4 grams

• Mild……………..5 grams

• Garlic Parmesan..6 grams

• Hawaiian BBQ….8 grams

• Teriyaki…………10 grams

There is no fat in the Hot, Atomic and Cajun sauces.

Additionally, our Original Hot Sauce has 0g Total Fat, 0g Cholesterol, 140 mg Sodium, 0g Sugars and 0g Protein.

Of course, we cook our chicken from the raw state with no breading.

We were gluten free until recently we added a Boneless Wing to our menu which is a battered and breaded chicken breast strip. Since we rotate our oil through all fryers we are no longer gluten free in any area.

That was all that they needed to say! What was the point in giving you all that other information?

EXACTLY! Who eats wings on a diet anyway? Duh, that one little paragraph is going to make me avoid you like the plague, no matter how low-carb your food is. BAH! Even if they were gluten-free, I'd probably stay away because they're so effin' stupid! :angry::rolleyes:

Hello, it's an allergy, not a diet.

Dum basses :rolleyes:

It's a shame I'm so shy and reserved, eh? :P

True, it's ok for Atkins I guess...especially since I now have all of their carb info!

Other diets, not so much. Deep fried chicken fat can't be good...

The company must be run by politicians with all that blathering. I think it is so nice of them to congratulate you in your "healthy lifestyle." This is not some fad diet and that is the way they made it sound.

It reads like they are trying to be politically correct and cover all of their bases. What a bunch of maroons they are!

thanks  for this,  one just opened up in NY down the street from me so it is good to know about them adding the breaded items. I guess they basically said screw people on a gluten free diet

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
