I am so mad at my at my self, I knew better, but I went ahead and ordered fries and a soda. New batch the worker washed his hands and put them in a bag. Well as soon as I was finished well almost i was sick and double over with pain. I woke up with nightsweats this morning. I know for sure that it was the fries. I just thought I would vent. I thought they would be ok. I was wrong !! Though two days ago I had them form another McDonalds and I was fine. What gives. UUGGH !!!

Sorry you're feeling bad. The McDonald's french fries in the USA are not gluten-free, I believe.

Rebecca47 Contributor

Thank you. I thought I had read that they were ok. I know I won't eat them again.

They are gluten free and have tested repeatedly to be so (in the USA). https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodid=1303

However, cross contamination is a large issue. I cannot eat them...I get sick. But in terms of the actual fry and testing through reputable labs, plus that GIG backs them, says that they are safe. I'm not sure what the other issue is, as I repeatedly got sick there. Some stores are better than others, just like any other chain.

If you get sick, don't eat it is the best advice. Not worth risking, for me.

I hope you recover quickly. Hugs to you.

If they make you sick, do not eat them.

However, they have been tested and shown to be gluten free...(University of Nebraska scientist and research department performed the tests).

I just wanted to make sure the correct information was being given out.

Funny you posted this today. I wasn't going to eat their french fries, but I got them for my kids and supposedly they are safe. I started eating them, because it was lunch time, and ate more then I was going too. I was SO sick lastnight and today. Horrible Gerd lastnight and this morning, D this morning and feel gross. Now I am still scared to eat, because I just don't feel like suffering again. Of course I was feeling great before I ate them. When will I ever learn.

I got sick several times from McDonalds fries. I don't if it is the grease or CC. I don't eat fried foods that often because most fried foods aren't gluten free (unless I make them myself which I am usually too lazy to do).

I get ill a lot from greasy foods too, I think. Even when they are gluten-free...sometimes just the unhealthiness gets to me.

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.

      I wasn’t clear, glucagon and gadolinium were intravenous. I drank about 5 cups of the prep during 45 minutes. I feel very tired now, probably partly because I was nervous, and partly because I had to fast for 6 hours beforehand and wasn’t very hungry when I got home.

      That seems at lot of solution to have put threw you when you already have bowel issues , I will phone them tomorrow because it's sorbitol I have reactions too, thankyou for the input how do you feel now ? I'm not sure I can keep still for that long with my back issues either unfortunately I didn't know it could take that long 😕

      The solution I had to drink contained sorbitol and mannitol. I was in the MRI, lying on my back, for about 40 minutes. I was given glucagon partway through, and a gadolinium contrast agent. After I got home there was some diarrhea from the prep solution.
