I Ate Lunch At Wendy's


Daisy Duke

Hi, today at work we had lunch from Wendy's. I ordered the ultimate chicken grill with no bun with sauce and tomato and lettuce. I had a baked potato with nothing on it, cause I can't do dairy, plus a diet coke.

I had lunch through Subways a couple weeks ago not even thinking of the cross-contamination issues, so I think I did much better eating from Wendy;s.

It sounds like what you ordered is safe, but I personally steer clear of fast food restaurants. They are just too busy and their staff is usually not trained on gluten-free food prep. Having had experience at working for McDonalds when I was in high school, I've seen the level of competence working behind the counter, and it is scary!

Wendy's is probably a little safer than Subway just because they don't bake fresh bread on site so they don't have flour floating around in the air like Subway. It's still a relatively risky place to eat. Though, I must admit, I don't think I've ever been glutened at a Wendy's.

sorry this doesn't have anything to do with wendy's or subway....

but i just wanted to ask the person above me about your picture....

it looks really tasty...just wondering if you made it yourself? and if so could i maybe have the recipe? i haven't had a real waffle in ages....

Sure thing! I posted the recipe here a few weeks ago. Open Original Shared Link Enjoy! I topped mine with blueberries and GV brand whipped cream. I believe Reddi Whip is gluten free as well. Any fruit would work. I like the canned stuff that's already sweetened, though unsweetened fruit is probably much better for you. I'm sure any fruit would work.

Angie,

Those waffles do look yummy! Do you have a hard time keeping them on the table?

Let's just say there are never many leftovers. Luckily, I make the waffles the day before I'm planning on serving them, and then I freeze them. A batch makes 10 waffles. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't get a bite because I'm always the last to eat when I cook breakfast. :)

thank you so much! i think i'm going to give them a try this weekend.... but sorry, one more question--does anyone know an addition/variation you could add to this to make them "belgiun waffles"? (i don't know if i spelled that right) i don't know exactly what makes them different than regular waffles.... thanks again!! :D

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
