Ore-Ida fast food fries... They're the closest thing... Broil them. They are gluten free.

Agreed.

Ore-Ida's Fast Food Fries are awesome. They only take like 10-15 minutes in the oven and they're crispy!

If you're in the midwest, Skyline Chili has great fries. It's the only thing they fry there, so no danger of cc.

If you have a Publix near you they have Publix brand french fries in the freezer section that I think are better than McD's fries

Personaly I cut up WITH SKIN ON 3-4 potatoes and deep free them in oil at 400 degrees for about 15 mins.

Then season to taste if you want, good to do this when you first pull them out of the fryer and they are still wet with oil.

I find the crispiest fries are fried in two stages. First I fry them at about 300°F until they float, and then at 400°F until they are brown and crispy.

Coconut oil fries them up crispier than any liquid vegetable oil.

If you have an In & Out, get their fries and ask for them Well Done!

Very tasty.

Oh, haven't had those in years!!! Penn Station out in the midwest does the same thing -- freshly cut fries, and it's the only thing they fry!

I used to eat In & Out fries when I was pregnant with my first kid. Funny thing, the burgers always made me sick. Back then I didn't know anything about celiac, but I sure couldn't stomach anything with wheat when I was pregnant with her! So, I ate lots of the fries.

I have not tried coconut oil, I use canola oil and it works to my tastes at least. :) I do not think my store carries coconut oil, if they do I might try it if the price is comparable.

Thanks for all the ideas. We live in a very small town in the middle of rural Missouri so we don't have any of those places. I wish we had a little more urban areas close to us.

I too deep frie the frozen ones. The shoestring in paticular turn out just like McDonalds fries and takes 10 minutes.

Horribly bad for you, lol

I use the Ore Ida shoe string fries. I bake them in a 450 oven...

I use a metal cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. That trick seems to make them crispier than usual.

Good Luck.

Am I confused? I thought In & Out burgers were gluten-free :huh:

I buy LouAna brand at Walmart for frying and general cooking purposes. It is flavorless, and can be reused for frying. I think last time I looked it was $2.68 for 30.5 ounces.

parboil the fries before frying ....

To get the McDo "flavoring" you can add some beef stock to the water you use to parboil make sure they are dry as the water will evaporate off and make sure the pan is less than 1/3 full for safety.

Higher temp oils are best and you also adsorb less fat the faster you fry, parboiling means you get the crunchy outside and soft inside.

Buying the right potatoes is also a good start.... you want older potatoes and softer.

However overall I prefer Vincents leaving the skin on for most things ..and the only real thing I eat McDo style fries with is raw meat, either tartar or carpaccio for the texture.

Got to buy those fries and try to deep fry them, but I have been symptom free after eating McD's fries - I read they say there are no detectable traces of gluten - they cause issues for some?

We covered this about 5 times but ....

1) The analysis they chose is a bit of a cop out, in other words aiming to give a negative.

2) Who really knows ... I mean with CC its always a risk and McDo's are hardly the least rushed in prep etc. so even if they are truly gluten-free then the risk of CC is reasonably high.

We all hear stories of them using the dedicated frier for some other product but also if a bit of bread falls in they are not going to notice and if they did wouldn't throw out the oil so its a risk everyone should take for themselves. (IMHO)

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
