I have listened to the debate and didn't bother to check the allergen menus, ha ha jokes on me!

Yes, I should have looked for the info myself and I finally did! If you want fast food french fries, stick with Burger King!!! They were the only ones that I found that didn't list wheat or gluten as an allergen in regard to their french fries.

Cripes I am so annoyed with myself for not checking this out myself.

You are opening a can of worms with the mention of fast food fries and the debate on if some are gluten free or not. ;)

My son and I both eat McDonalds fries with no ill effects.

I avoid them all. Better safe than sorry. I have heard BK's are safe, but I am the person that ALWAYS ends up with the mystery prize, a hidden onion ring. :(

Are you sure Burger King's fries are safe? There are always other things in the same fry box like onion rings and what not. Eek!

Burger Kings policy is to have a separate fryer as is the same with most fast food restaurants. I have never seen foods come out of the french fry fryer.

I can only tell you what they do and don't say on their websites and all of them except Burger King says there is wheat in their fries.

I have had too many issues over the last year that it isn't worth it to me to eat something that doesn't bother most people. I don't like being sick and if I had gone to the fast foods websites in the first place then I wouldn't have eaten the fries. MY OWN FAULT!!! but i listened to people on here say it didn't bother them. Again my fault for not checking the companies website. SO I thought it might be a good idea to post this information for those of us that get sick easier and wonder why.

What about Chick-fil- a???? Anyone know about these? The fries are listed as gluten free, so in a bind we get fries and a fruit cup. Has anyone had issues there?

I ONLY eat Chik-fil-A fries. Unfortunately... the closest one is a 2 hour drive away, so they're a rare and special treat!

Their website says they are gluten-free. I would trust them. Pre-gluten-free days I don't recall ever getting anything stray in my fries.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
