Good to know! I wonder if they use the same oil for chicken nuggets/strips and fries...

I haven't tried McDonald's fries since gluten-free - there doesn't seem to be a clear consensus on safety.

Anything made in a fryer in a fast-food restaurant is taking a real gamble.

According to McDonald's website their fries contain a meat flavoring that has wheat in it. I want to trust the BK fries, but I remember everytime I used to order them prior to going gluten-free I would get a random onion ring or two mixed in.

For a long time we had no problems at BK. But the last two times were bad. Salad with cheese on it. That never happened before. And buns on the burgers. The lady even had the audacity to say I never told her "no buns". The manager freaked and we got the right food but I am not so eager to go back.

McD's fries have been independently tested as gluten-free. Even the very cautious CSA acknowledges they appear to be safe.

The menu says that fried items may be fried with items that contain gluten. That is enough answer for me!

Thanks a bunch, Richard.

When I first started gluten-free eating, I never reacted to the McD fries (and I react to EVERYTHING severely), so I thought it was strange when it came about that they did have gluten. So strange.

I don't mean this as a bad thing, many people (my family, too)have worked at fast food but: We need to consider who is working (kids, people who don't speak English, etc) & how busy they are. This really applies to all eating out. If we go at the busiest times, its hard for the workers to remember or want to do extra work for our food. It can be hard for teenagers & people who don't speak much English to understand the importance of our requests.

All I've ever gotten fast-food wise are chocolate frosties from Wendy's and a plain baked potatoes from Arby's and Wendy's which even scared me a little (they were pre-cut and I was iffy on the butter which wasn't separately wrapped or anything). didn't get sick though.

But I'm too cautious to try anything else.

Well I've gotten Five Guy's fries too, but I'm talking about the main fast food joints.

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thank you @trents for letting me know you experience something similar thanks @knitty kitty for your response and resources.  I will be following up with my doctor about these results and I’ll read the articles you sent. Thanks - I really appreciate you all.

      My only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.
