Well, my mom and I decided to try eating MDs fries to see. The first time we had some we were perfectly fine. The second time we both immediately had an awful reaction. I'm still getting over it. It just isn't worth the risk to us!

Perhaps....I tried to look up some information on it, but their nutritional info. only gives ingredients, not any measures they take to avoid contamination. Their allergen info. only refers to peanuts........if you want to call them, though, here is the contact information (no e-mail):

McDonald's french fries are NOT gluten-free. They are only gluten-free if a dedicated fryer is used which is often not the case. Please don't assume that they are without asking.

I always ask (although I almost never eat at McDonald's) but virtually every McDonald's has a dedicated fryer. The ones to be real careful about are the small, partial service ones in places like Walmart.

They are supposed to be all gluten-free if they are McDonald restaurants. . .unless they are using the fryers improperly.

I don't belive that to be true, Glix. . .are you sure?

"I don't belive that to be true, Glix. . .are you sure?"

Every ice cream I've ever checked has been gluten-free UNLESS it has obvious stuff like cookies, cookie dough, cake, pie, etc. I've also seen one or two fudge type things that have been dicey. Otherwise, ice cream appears to be gluten-free. If anybody can show otherwise, please let us know.

For me, this is a product I've stopped checking so rigoriously.

i worry about ice cream at a store, like the kind that's in a bunch of tubs since they dip the scoop in there then touch ice cream cones, or at DQ i used to get blizzards until i realized (duh!) the thing they mix it with touches candy that isn't gluten-free

If you still want your Blizzards just have them wash the mixer. I've never had a problem getting them to do this.

i always get milk shakes

what i meant before was any chocolate/vanilla/strawberry etc ice cream is gluten-free unless it has bread products in it such as cookie dough or oreos

i go to baskin robbins a lot to get shakes there i should probably ask them to clean the mixer

last week, i was at this ice cream place in the mall with my friend. he got a shake mixed with oreo and i got chocolate. they used the same mixer for both shakes. so be careful with that

Everything I have read states that McDonald's fries are gluten free. I have also eaten their hamburger's without a bun and without cheese and have not had a reaction.

On the other hand I have eaten at Jack in the box after they told me their fries were not fried in grease that was used for anything else and having a burger without the bun and got very ill. What about milkshakes or ice-cream?

I believe that McDonalds icecream and shakes are ok..however I would stay away from Jack in the Box Shakes because there is alot of cross contamination-- I have noticed that their Oreo shake is often mixed into the other flavors..not safe!

good luck.

Ok thank-you. I do have a question though. I was under the impression that we couldn't eat anything with cookies as they contain gluten?

What I meant by that is that the oreo part of that would be made out of cookies. Wouldn't that be right?

yes of course

oreo is made out of flour

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast. All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour). Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat...

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
