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.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
