I went to the Wendy's by my house and talked to the manager about the french fries. She told me that they were cooked seperately, and that the oil was vegetable oil. I decided to have some fries and an hour later I was having cramps, bloating, and D. I thought maybe it was a fluke, so I tried it again a few days later. Same thing. I have read on here that a lot of people eat their fries, so I decided to try a different Wendy's. I talked to the manager there, and he told me the same thing, cooked seperatly in vegetable oil. Well, Ive been sick all afternoon. This is REALLY strange for me since I NEVER get stomach problems. Gastrointestinal wise, I have (until now) never had any celiac symptoms. Does anyone else get sick from Wendy's fries? Before my diagnosis and the gluten free diet, I ate them several times a month and never got sick. Do you think Im reacting to a small amount of gluten in them?

If they're in a separate fryer, they are gluten-free. HOWEVER, cross contamination is a HUGE problem at fast food restaurants. You very well could be more sensitive to a small amount of gluten.

If you've been eating really healthy lately, then maybe you're just reacting to the junk food.

the only thing we eat at Wendy's (we rarely get there)...is chili or meat patty or baked potatoe... I've seen the fryer and at any Wendy's I have been to, none had dedicated fryers. Wendy's is also bad for taking the meat off the bun and putting it on a platter..last time it happened, the "chick" in the back" rolled her eyes when I asked her to get patty off the grill ...so I loudly said -" I know it's a pain, but you really dont want my kids to get sick from Wendy's do you? Manager aplogized on behalf of his staff and said they are supposed to accomodate customers with a smile.

I'm guessing the fries were cc'd somehow

Either that or you are reacting to too much oil, which is a problem that I have when I try to eat fries ... even the gluten free frozen ones.

I do mine in the oven and have no problem.

My son eats Wendy's fries as well and has never had a problem. My Wendy's has a dedicated frier.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mike101020! First, what was the reference range for the ttg-iga blood test? Can't tell much from the raw score you gave because different labs use different reference ranges. Second, there are some non celiac medical conditions, some medications and even some non-gluten food proteins that can cause elevated celiac blood antibodies in some individuals. The most likely explanation is celiac disease but it is not quite a slam dunk. The endoscopy/biopsy is considered the gold standard for celiac disease diagnosis and serves as confirmation of elevated blood antibody levels from the blood testing.

      Have I got coeliac disease

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Vitamin D status in the UK is even worse than the US.  vitamin D is essential for fighting bone loss and dental health and resistance to infection.  Mental health and depression can also be affected by vitamin D deficiency.  Perhaps low D is the reason that some suffer from multiple autoimmune diseases.  In studies, low D is a factor in almost all of the autoimmune diseases that it has been studied in. Even while searching for your diagnosis, testing your 25(OH)D status and improving it my help your general wellness. Vitamin D Deficiency Affects 60% in Britain: How to Fix It?

      EMA Result

      By mike101020 · Posted

      Hi, I recently was informed by my doctor that I had scored 9.8 on my ttgl blood test and a follow up EMA test was positive.   I am no waiting for a biopsy but have read online that if your EMA is positive then that pretty much confirms celiac. However is this actually true because if it it is what is the point of the biopsy?   Thanks for any help
