Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't surprise me. Nothing about fast food would!

I suppose it might have gotten in the burger if someone got a finger to close to a blade somewhere along the process. It could be difficult to point a finger at someone (pun intended), since it may have been at the meat processing plant, wherever other ingredients (such as fillers) are added or where the patties are made, etc. I have no idea how many different steps that stuff goes through before ending up on the cooker, but I'd never eat at such a place - gluten or not.

I think it could easily end up in the meat by accident. When I was a teenager I worked in a sandwich as a "slicer". One time I ran my finger too close to the blade while slicing pastrami. It sliced off my nail and a tiny bit of my fingertip. I looked for it in the meat and couldnt find it. I had to go to the emergency to get it checked out. Someone else must have finished up my work that day and who knows if my nail ended up in someones sandwhich....but it was an accident. :(

oh i see, yah it could of easily been an accident, but aren't they supposed to be wearing gloves when they do stuff like that

The patties are not made on site. They are brought in frozen, so the problem had to be at the plant, and not with the resaturaunt itself.

Still, gross!!

Hmmm I had McDonalds last night, but it will probably be the last time I have that for a while. Not due to comments but rather if I go gluten-free.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
