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.

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)

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
