Does anyone out there trust any fast food places when we ask to have the burger without the bun? How safe are they really? What about sub places. Is there anything like Subway that we know of that the meats and things are safe? Sometimes it is just plain convenient to be able to go to one of these places to pick up a quick meal. And pickles! I have such a craivng !!! I know that we can have vlassic, but I'm talking about a real, deli, garlic pickle!!!

Thanks a bunch!!

I would not trust fast food places for burgers. They make those burgers with the others and have a strong possibility for contamination with bread crumbs. They really are not careful. I trust McDonalds with their hash browns and fries here because they use a separate frier for them. I also trust side salads there. I go to wendy's for frosty's sometimes as well.

As for Subway, I worked there before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I would not consider anything they have as gluten-free. They use gloves to open the bread then put their hands into the stuff that it supposed to be gluten-free. There is so much cross contamination at places like that.

Hope this helps you out some :D

If you go when it is not busy and can see them do your food then yes it is safe. My brother eats McDonalds hamburgers sooo much. He is a High School senior and goes there with his friends a lot. He has never had a problem. If he ever gets it with the bun he explains that e has a severe allergy and cannot have it touched and our local one gives him a brand new one. Ususally he goes at the same time and they know what he wants before he asks!

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
