Wendy's Baked Potato?

Yesterday, I had a baked potato from Wendy's. It's been a couple weeks since I have had one from there because eating out just isn't something that I do. Well I have been contaminated and my reaction started within 15 minutes of eating the baked potato. :( Now I am in misery. Does anyone know if they changed their policies? Are the baked potatoes not gluten-free anymore?

Thanks.

I don't know.

Did you have a BP & chives, or a loaded one? I've had the BP & chives several times (not lately though) without incident. I use my own butter as I prefer real butter to the "air spread" they provide. Love those little packets of sour cream though. You tear off a corner of that wax paper wierdly twisted triangle shaped package (what's the geometric shape?), and you can really control your sour cream distribution. I like to squeeze a little dollop on each bite. That way you get that hot/cold sensation.

Sorry, I'm digressing. Anyway, one time, in band camp, someone brought me a Wendy's BP that had all the other goop on it. I took one bite and decided not to eat the rest. Just seemed too risky. Sometimes ya just get a bad "gut" feeling. A Celiac moment. Better safe than sorry thing.

Ok, If anyones still with me and likes dog stories, here's one. One of our daughters is living here now and has a Doberman, LuLu. I was eating a Wendy's BP w/chives in the living room. I set my tray down on the coffee table to get something in the kitchen, and when I got back my full sour cream package was gone. Never found it. She ate the whole thing, package and all. Dogs aren't very adept at controlling they're sour cream distribution. :lol:

you must have a very fast digestive system getting the gluten to you intestines in 15 minutes or less.

btw baked potatoes are a high risk food for borne illnesses

do to the speed and potential amount of gluten (no matter the sensitivity) you might want to consider a non-gluten sensitivity this time around

The one time I screwed up enough courage to try a BP at Wendy's, they were out, and I couldn't wait 15 min. for fresh ones.

What concerns me about them is simply the potential for CC, with the kitchen staff so busy handling burger buns all day.

I'd love to hear that people regularly do well with them, as I'm plenty tired of chili, which I go for just because no one has to ever touch the food itself.

I'm the same way, I know when I've eaten gluten, only takes 15 to 20 minutes before I'm heading the bathroom.

I've given up fast food places for eating. There is no way they can not contaminate some of the gluten free items they serve. Might be ok for some people who aren't as sensitive but not for me. I think I'd react if someone was talking about making bread. lol

I usually know if I've been glutened within 15 or 20 minutes too. I'm glad I saw this thread because I had been thinking about trying Wendy's. I'll stick to the butter, chives and sour cream.

I'll keep it away from my dog though.. :lol:

I had a dog when I was little that ate a whole chocolate Santa that was wrapped in tinfoil, with a $5 bill wrapped around it with a rubber band and wrapped in Christmas paper. There was nothing left but the bow. :lol:

I made sure to get it plain because that is the only way that I knew that they were gluten free and I always tell them how to handle them. Im not sure if maybe it was just CC with handling or what. I know before it has been fine for me to eat them, but I have only had them maybe 3 or 4 times. :(

Im actually very sensitive to contaminations. My body freaks out within 15 minutes or so. It did almost kill me before they diagnosed it though, so maybe my body has had enough?? lol Im not sure how it works so fast to be honest.

My friends actually joke with me that I should take a bite of something and wait the amount of time to see if I can eat it. Im not that brave though. I dont want to go through more misery than I have to.

I dont have a dog, but my cat sure does love the sour cream also. She dont eat the package though. She tries to lick the sour cream off the end of the potato that I am not eating. She thinks she is sneaky but I always catch her. Its cute. Gotta love animals! :)

I think Im going to just stay away from the baked potatoes. I dont know about anyone else but once I am contaminated once I dont like to try it again out of fear. Thanks for all the info though guys! I appreciate it.

Im new to the forum and I tried a different forum before and there was too much fighting and drama. I love everyone on this one! Everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful! Thanks a mill guys! :)

Sorry if this gets too off-topic but...I once had a Doberman pup that ate my hair scrunchie. I put it down and turned around and in 10 seconds he had swallowed the whole thing. Whole! I thought :huh: "nah! he couldn't have eaten that huge thing!" but the next day...sure enough...he proved it. ;) I was shocked! Dobies are never in it for the flavor, that's for sure. They never eat slowly enough to taste anything! :lol:

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, ...

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Hello, @MogwaiStripe, Vitamin D is turned into its activated forms by Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can affect Vitamin D activation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14913223/ Thiamine deficiency affects HLA genes.  HLA genes code for autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Thyroiditis, Diabetes, etc.  Thiamine deficiency inside a cell triggers a toggle switch on the gene which in turn activates autoimmune diseases carried on the gene.  The reference to the study is in my blog somewhere.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll down to the drop down menu "Activities" and click on blogs.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!

My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, how long did it take you to feel back to normal? It took about two months before she got “glutened” again but now she’s having difficult coming back from that and has a lot of fatigue. I’m hoping someone has some advice!
