I have found one or more onion rings in with the french fries I purchased at several BK restaurants FYI. But they have the best french fries...

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.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      By trents · Posted

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
