Gluttened By Burger King

I went to Burger King last night and got French Fries and a vanilla milkshake. Before I went I checked on the website and both these items contained no wheat. About and hour after I got really sick. Has anyone else had a problem with BK? I'm guessing it was cross contamination that got me sick.

Personally I avoid fast food places like that all together - too risky and not worth it. More often than not you'll see an onion ring or two in the french fries. And even though corporate claims items are gluten-free, the people that are actually working in the restaurant might be throwing anything and everything into the "dedicated fry fryer."

Alternative "fast food" options can be: Boston Market, Chipotle, Qdoba, Panchero's, Baja Fresh, Subway, Jimmy Johns....probably others in your area too! :)

If you have celiac or are gluten intolerant you must eat gluten-free which is not the same as wheat-free. Wheat is only one part of gluten...you also need to avoid rye, barley, and possibly oats. I checked the burger king website and there was no information about gluten, only wheat. Fast food should probably be avoided anyway, it is most likely all cross contaminated.

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
