Hardee's

I cannot find gluten information anywhere on the Hardee's website anymore. I found the nutrition section, but it didn't say anything about allergens. Does anyone know if Hardee's burgers (no bun, obviously) or fries would be safe? Also, the chili cheese fries look great, but I have been afraid to try them without a gluten free menu.

I suspect that you couldn't find any gluten free information on Hardee's is that there is none.

Wendy's though, has several items to select from.

This risk of cross contamination is always a concern at fast food places.

Oh, I know fast food restaurants are a cross contamination nightmare, but when traveling it just can't be helped much. We love Wendy's, but I was looking for something different now and then. Wendy's was a favorite even before gluten free and it jumped quickly to the top of the list.

I was afraid Hardee's wouldn't have anything. Dh likes it, but I guess it will have to stay a work-lunch stop.

You're right, there is no more gluten-free info on the Hardee's website!!! They have a low-carb burger that used to be listed on the gluten free menu. It was served in a lettuce pocket and I used to get it occasionally as a lunch treat. The last 2 or 3 times I ordered it (couple of months apart) I got glutened, so of course I gave it up a few months ago.

I thought perhaps it was a cc issue at the one Hardees I visited. Now I wonder if they changed grill sprays, or something that causes it to no longer be gluten free. I react to truly trace amounts of gluten so who knows...cc or new supplier??? Hardee's no longer works for me (and they used to).

The low-carb Thickburger definitely was gluten-free, but I haven't checked on it or had one a in a while. The fries definitely are NOT gluten-free because there's no dedicated fryer.

Wow, I didn't know Hardee's were still around. All of the ones in our area went ou a few years ago. CC is a big risk. Sorry their website is not very helpful. Some of us on here should get together and make our own grab and go dining facility. We would always have company!!! :)

BTW, if you really want to eat there, you should check on that low-carb Thickburger. IMO it's better than a burger with a bun -- and a whole lot fewer calories, sodium, and fat. Not healthful mind you, but an improvement. Also check on the low-carb breakfast bowl. It reads as if it should be gluten-free.

Oh YES!! That low-carb thick burger was/is awesome!!! I'm not sure when I'll have a chance to write the company, but if someone does, I'd love to hear their reply. I LOVED that lettuce-wrapped burger!!

If it's still gluten free, I still won't return to the location convenient to me, but I'll give other locations a go when I travel. I can't help but wonder though if there's been some change. I used to always eat it with never a problem. Then suddenly, several months ago, I was definitely glutened about 3 times in a row, several weeks or more apart. Of course my original assumption could have been correct, second-hand glutening (my entire experience was with one specific location).

I live in Wisconsin and have eaten successfully at two Hardee's (one in Oshkosh, WI and the other in Oconto, WI). Both times I got the low-carb burger in a lettuce wrap. Granted, I haven't eaten at Hardee's in about a year, but the last time I was at the Oconto Hardee's, they had a dedicated fryer for fries. I don't think the one in Oshkosh had a dedicated fryer, so apparently they vary by location....

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
