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.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
