Wendy's Fries

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.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
