Also, Wendy's Frosties, and Chick-fil-a grilled chicken salad (no sunflower seeds or croutons, but you can get the tortilla strips instead), and waffle fries.

McDonald's is pretty much everywhere:

There was an outrage about the oil the fries were cooked in. I really feel it was much ado about nothing, but make your own decision on that.

The Chick-Fil-A waffle fries are gluten free (with no cross-contamination) and they're quite addictive.

i just found out from my nutritionist that mcdonalds, burger king, and wendys fries are ok, but make sure that they're made in a designated fryer without the breaded food.

Eating out is always risky, especially at a fast food restaurant. Don't expect the workers to have any clue what gluten is, not even the managers. If you're careful and only order things that are gluten free you have a decent chance of not getting sick. Use this link Open Original Shared Link to determine which foods are gluten free.

I have had good luck at carl's jr. They have the low-carb six dollar burger. They use lettuce instead of a bun. I really like it!

I have some ideas that might help anyone.

Taco Bell- has Fresco crunchy tacos (lettuce, meat, and tomatos)

has Fresco chicken bowl

Cinnamon Twists (rice noodles with cinnamon)

Applebee's- Has a great Oriental Stir Fry (Just change the breaded chicken for grilled chicken, but I am not sure about the sauce..I usually don't get it on there.)

Has a great Weight watcher's Steak and Portabello mushroom dish, potatoes and veggies

Outback Steakhouse- I have heard rumors there is a chocolate dessert that is gluten free!!!

I would suggest not getting the hashbrowns at any fast food, they are contaminated.

I have eaten the breakfast sandwich at McDonald's which has the egg not scrambled, with canadian bacon. Just ask for no mcmuffin/bun. (they always look at your weird)

My last suggestion would be Subway-

I get the Gluten free wraps at Meijer, or local grocery store. I take the wrap into the subway and they will make you a wrap, along with decreasing the price. ;) I usually keep a wrap with me when I know I might be stopping to eat somewhere, it's always a great backup.

Hope this might help anyone. I know I will keep looking.

Taco Del Mar Baja Bowls or tacos with corn tortillas. All meat is safe except for the pork.

Burger King has burger patties with no bun, side salads, apple fries and maybe the French fries. They are safe at ours.

I woudl be wary of Taco Bell and Applebee's -

The Applebee's stir fry would have soy sauce, wich I suspect is NOT glutenfree. Taco Bell, only the tostatos are considered gluten free, not sure about the taco shells.

I never go to Applebee's, because it's a stuggle to find ANYTHING suitable and the staff is uninformed. Taco Bell is very limited, it's not worth it to me.

ALWAYS used extreme caution when eating at fast food, ig the food won't get cha, the cross contamination might. :o

Unless TB has suddenly changed ingredients, there are NOT gluten-free. TB meat seasoning contains wheat. The TB website lists allergens and there's only three things we can have there.

Its a sure bet you cannot have the Applebee's stir fry with the sauce.

And, of course, the Outback gluten-free menu is readily available online.

Hi

I want to clarify on Taco Bell, go to the site but the hard tacos contain wheat in the meat so that is out!

Applebee's chicken last time I checked at beginning of the year ( grilled chicken) was not gluten-free. It has gluten in the flash frozen glaze. This is the case for many bar/sport bar type places. I found this out while vacationing in Florida a year ago. We always loved Applebees & when we were seated I asked for the manager & she would not serve us because of this fact. She said many places never look at the flash frozen part only the chicken . SHe even brought out the big box to prove it - stated directly on the big box of grilled chicken. She also said that most sports bars get their foods from the same place. She was very nice & helpful. I never knew this before about the flash frozen part so I learned alot from her. We were thankful she was honest & not passed it off on us as many other places do......

I will have to check on the grilled chicken at Applebee's. I do not get the sauce on the stir fry because it has gluten in it.

Thanks for the advice about TB.

You are welcome. I know I was totally amazed that plain grilled chicken had a glaze that contained gluten. It put the stoppers on many places we loved to eat at! No other place including the Applebees close to our home ever mentioned this........

I usually stick with Chick-fil-A waffle fries, and the grilled chicken salads there. They're always helpful and they take the bag of croutons off the top, and give me a dressing that's gluten free. The french fry cooker [here, anyway[ is dedicated to JUST the french fries, which is awesome.

McDonald's, on the other hand... almost nothing's gluten free, and the french fries are dipped in the same oil as the nuggets.

McDonalds has dedicated fryers just for the fries. Nuggets are not allowed. ;) You can find McD's gluten free menu in the earlier section of this thread.

At McDonalds, there are dedicated fryers at the front of the store for potatoes (fries and hash browns). These fryers are operated by the front crew--the same ones who take your order and present it. Nuggets and everything else is cooked in the back by a different crew--the grill crew. Those items arrive at the front already wrapped.

There is some risk of cross-contamination. The grill crew member who wraps the burger has touched the bun. The front crew member who puts it into the bag touches the wrapper. That same front crew member touches the packaging for the fries (but not the fries themselves). You then touch the package of fries. If you eat them by hand, and use the same hand...

I eat fries and hash browns at McDonalds. It is a personal choice which each of us must make for ourselves.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
