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.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
