Yep, I've had McDonald's fries with no problem...their fries were good for lunch during long car rides (such as when I went skiing earlier this year). No problems with them after 3-4 times having them since starting the gluten-free diet.

They have a part of a website where they list gluten-free products...someone here may have already mentioned it (I didn't read all the replys), but it is at Open Original Shared Link

I called Wendy's last week about their fries and was told that they are definitely gluten free but are not listed on their gluten-free list since some Wendy's do not use a dedicated fryer. My daughter ate them last week after checking that they used a dedicated fryer but still did not feel well afterward. I'm not sure if fried food upset her reflux or if it was because of the gluten.

What about Taco Bell. I could not find anything on their web page and their nacho chips seemed a bit "light" to be corn.

Have you ever made home made french fries? They are the best! I bought a deep fryer and mandoline slicer, it is really easy to make. I usually leave the skins on too and cook in olive oil

Taco Bell has almost nothing that's gluten-free. Even the taco beef has wheat. Don't bother.

Does anyone know if those new "Go Active" salads from Mcdonalds are gluten-free or not? Thanks!

Apparently, Donato's pizza has a crustless pizza that is gluten free. (we don't have Donato's here so I don't know, but it's worth checking out).

Hi,

We several Donato's restaurents in my area Dayton, OH. I actually had the deluxe crustless pizza last night which was very good. I sent a email to Donatos asking if the pizza was Gluten free.

This is the response:

---

The Soy base in our NoDough pizzas do not contain any gluten,

however, they will not be baked in separate ovens from those used to bake

our Original Thin and Traditional crusts. That being stated, depending on

the severity of the sensitivity to gluten we cannot guarantee that there

would be an absolute prevention of cross contamination and unfortunately

would suggest that individuals with high sensitivity to gluten not take any

unnecessary risks.

---

I should note that I'm pretty sure the pizza is baked directly on the plate they server to you. So imagine any cross contamination would occur if a regular pizza was placed on the rack above and some of the crust fell into it?? Perhaps you could ask them to cook it on the top grill to avoid this problem.

My wife and I probably only cook 1 meal a week right now, the rest are quick sandwitches, pizza deliveries, take out, or eating out. So finding convenient easy sources of gluten free food is a big priority for me if I need to go on this diet.

:lol: I have a six and a four year old. Both girls. The whole I want a happy meal thing was upsetting until we just started requesting cheeseburgers with no bun in a kids happy meal. At sonic, my girls have either the bunless chsburger in a kids meal or a hot dog with no bun in the kids meal. You know, people used to give me really funny looks when I requested bunless burgers but Atkins has made my life a little easier. Now, when we request no bun, people just assume we are on it. As if I would have my girls on a diet anyway. But you just never know what kind of reaction you're gonna get.

I was hoping to get feedback on other people's experiences. There are great alternatives for breakfast at home, and if you eat out, you can get eggs or fruit. Most times, restaurants are very helpful when I eat out for dinner, and I tip well thankful for them taking the time to check with the chefs on ingredients.

The biggest problem is having lunch, or a quick meal - there is no such thing. These people that say eat an apple for lunch are joking. I used to eat subs, or big salads for lunch and always am on the run at lunchtime. Now it is impossible, and I'm so bored with the limited options. If we don't feel like cooking at night, I'm thankful for a very good Taco place down the road, otherwise what do you do? Can't order pizza - I hate fast food. I used to eat a pretty healthy diet, and now I find it very hard to eat gluten-free and to eat healthy at the same time. Sorry, but I can't eat a piece of fruit all day and be satisfied. I'd love to know what all of you do for quick and relatively healthy meals - grabbing 2 gluten-free burgers at McDonalds may be gluten-free, but it's also 1000 calories. Please give me your feedback!

P.S. - my wife and I just got back from Mexico, and it was the easiest time I ever had eating out.....mostly fresh corn, beans, rice, chicken. Maybe I'll move there!

Quickest and easiet for me is to roll some sandwich meat, cheese, mustard and lettuce in a corn tortilla. I usually heat the toritlla and meat in a microwave first but it's not necessary.

Quick lunch:

* bean salad (can of three bean mix and some honey mustard dressing, add tomatoes if you've got the time)

* rice cakes with peanut butter

* veggies with hummus

of course, there's the whole leftovers thing, and smoothies, but I don't know how quick you want quick. :-)

I have also found lunch, or quick meals to be the hardest. I carry a packet of gluten-free dressing with me, and get side salads, or others, if gluten-free. I got the packets from the Gluten free pantry, online. Wendy's baked potato and chili work, too! I buy them, and use the chili over the potato.

A friend told me the other day, she heard that power bars aren't what they're cracked up to be. She said it's just as good to take a vitamin and have a milkshake!!! So, now when I plan to stop for a shake (easy in the car, on the way home!) I just say I'm stopping for my power bar!!! I've already had the vitamin! Unfortunately, I've put on a couple of pounds, so try not to do that often!

Let us know of any other quick fixes!!!

a new Chipotle just opened near our house. I had read on this board that they had a gluten-free menu. we went in the other day and the manager had absolutely no clue what a gluten free menu was and said they didn't have one.

Hmmm.....

Check with Chipotle's main office. Almost everything they serve (burrito wrap and one of the sauces are not) is gluten-free.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.
