Mcdonald's Sausage Patty

I've read here that many people have eaten McDonald's sausage patty and not had a reaction. But I read on McD's website the ingredients for the patty list caramel color. Isn't caramel coloring questionable? And how would one find out if that particular caramel color is safe? Thanks!

In the US, caramel color is usually made from corn.

I am curious what else you might eat when you have a sausage patty at McDonalds. Do you trust the scrambled eggs?

Here is a listing that might be helpful.

Take caution for cross contamination at a fast food restaurant or any restaurant for that matter. Eating out is your responsibility.

I eat eggs & sausage. I have had the hash browns also. Of course the hash browns contain the same wheat flavoring as the fries.

When ordering, I've found it's safer to place my order thusly:

~ speaking clearly & distinctly, I say "one order eggs".

~ when the counterperson has entered that into the computer I say "one order sausage".

~ if I'm also ordering hash browns, I wait until they have entered the sausage into the computer, then I say "one order hash browns".

The reason for being so particular about it is if you aren't careful they will give you a breakfast and you either will get biscuits, or they will put the biscuits in the container, and then discovering their mistake take the biscuits out, leaving biscuit crumbs in your food. I've had it happen several times before refining my ordering technique.

Good luck, lm

      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.
    • Scott Adams
      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.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.
    • Scott Adams
      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
