"mfg. In A Plant That Processes Wheat"

My favorite frozen french fries say they are mfg in a plant that processes wheat. Does this mean I can't eat it? I'm just learning and very confused. Thanks!

This is a risk factor. I eat some things that are "manufactured in a facility....wheat". It just means that somewhere in the facility there's wheat. It doesn't tell you in what form or how close. On the other hand, there are others from which I have been glutened and I won't eat those brands again.

I personally draw the line at "manufactured on the same lines...." because I've gotten "got" by too many of those.

yeah i don't like to risk it either. i used to buy beans from walmart that said that on the cans, and just washed the beans really well, but i don't eat beans anymore.

I just inquired about the FritoLay product contamination.. and regardless of what people say, I might try it a few more times, but I am starting to feel like it definitely DOES matter. I've been sick when the bag/box says that stuff.. maybe not all the time, I don't know yet..But I would rather be feeling good than feeling sick because I thought something might be ok. Its just not worth it.

Thanks so much. I may have to start mfg my own french fries...

But I haven't been gluten-free long enough yet to tell if those frozen ones make me any sicker. I guess I'll go off of them for now and test them later when I'll be more sensitive to gluten.

Thanks!

My mom used to make us our own french fries! just cut up a potatoe and fry it in oil. They are really good!!! My sister used to slice potatoes really thin and then fry those so that they kinda resembled a fry/chip. then she'd put powdered ranch or bbq seasoning on them (I know that stuff has gluten alot of times.. but any kind of powder, whether its a seasoning for meat or a salad dressing mix, would work good if you like the flavor and can verify its gluten-free!)

Make your own fries! A fry shouldn't have anything in it but potato. Dust lightly with salt and/or pepper, and for a tasty treat, herbs. You can also top it with garlic and fresh grated parmesan cheese, yum.

Ore Ida that makes a lot of gluten free fries. They have a list on their web site heres a link,

If you have a wegmans near you they label all their gluten free stuff.

Fries as many have said are really easy to though. I cut up a potato in wedges and put it on a pan on tin foil then drizzle with olive oil and seasoning, I use McCormicks brand and bake till brown stirring the pan once. If I am in a hurry I will microwave it for a minute first. You can do a lot with the humble tater.

You could try Cascadian farms.

I just had this happen to me this week. My husband bought some corn tortillias that had that warning on them. I did not realize he had bought a different kind and ate part of one. I had put some tomato product on it like a baguette but didn't like the taste so I only had 2 bites. The next day I was in so much pain and couldn't figure out what I had done. Then it dawned on me that he had gone to Wal-Mart not the grocery store whose brand we normally buy. I went and checked it out and sure enough it was not my brand. I have had this happen to me twice now with two different brands of corn tortillias.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
