I guess they think they need some good publicity after that whole "finger in the chili" incident; they're giving away free Frosties all weekend just for asking!

Free is always nice...especially when you just bought your college books for courses getting ready to start and now your broke...free sounds real good right about now

Now do you have to specifically ask for a free one? Or when you order it they will just say thats free?

P.S..o yeah and is there a limit on how many you can get free? lol

Yes. You have to ask for a free frosty and the limit is one per customer. I don't think they're going to remember you, though, if you come back a little later. And if you think they might, you can just wear different clothing or a very large hat, lol :lol:

Yeah, lol :lol:

Jessica, I think they say "at participating stores" or something. But they should either do it or not--with no strings attached.

yeah it's free JR. frosties!!! LOL! My daughter and I had lunch at Wendy's today and they were passing out balloons to all the kids and bringing the free frosties to everyone's table. It was nice though. They were really busy so I'm guessing this is working for them!

Yeah, we were there too today and it was really busy.

I thought I had read somewhere that their fries were gluten free as long as they were cooked in their own frier. But I didn't see it on the list celiac3270 posted. Does anybody know? I hope they are, because I ate some. :unsure:

McDonalds fries are the ones that are gluten free and in a separate fryer. I have a list of Wendy's gluten free products and their fries are not on it.

If you go to their site they have the ingredients for their products on a note below the fries it says they may be used in the same oil as the crispy chicken nuggets and some other things...I definitely would not eat them

I asked them and they said they were cooked seperately.

If they were cooked separately then I would think they are fine. They could have been cooked separately but on their website it says they may be cooked with the same oil.I would get the wendys # and call the main office to see their policy on it and see if the fries can be considered gluten free..

hopefully it was fine and you can keep enjoying them :D

The site I got my info on their fries from said different Wendy's have different policies where cooking in seperate oil is concerned so you have to ask at each one.

LOL, I'm finally going to go to a Wendy's today for the free frosty. Then if I like it go back in with sunglasses on and ask for another, lol, just kidding.

They may have been gluten-free in your case, but I still wouldn't want to eat their fries if there's no set policy...and the people behind the counter might not really know or care what you're asking about--I've found that in McDonalds they yes me all the time--is it made in a dedicated fryer or only with other gluten-free products? The glazed eyes, bored stare, and constant yes, yes, yes. I prefer McD's though where the company actually certifys that the fries are gluten-free--and if they screw it up, you can complain, cause it goes against company policy--you can't with Wendy's.

I guess I won't eat them anymore, because it's better to be safe than sorry! And they're not so great that I will miss them. McD's are yummier anyways. I should just stop eating fries, because they are all bad for you regardless if they are gluten-free or not. :lol:

Is there any risk of cross contamination with the Frosty? Or is the machine clean? Clean, meaning gluten-free, of course! lol

Pardon the dumb question, I assume if everyone is eating them they must be safe b/c you guys are the gold standard for finding out if it's gluten-free in my opinion:)

No question here is dumb :D

Yes, to my knowledge only frostys are made in the machine they come out of and I know Frosty's are gluten free. That's one of the only things I trust from Wendy's.

My friend went there and ordered something and made the cashier account for all 10 fingers :lol:

LOL they are getting so much crap for that woman's finger case and it wasn't even real!!!

Wasn't there a case, though, recently with a man who really did find a part of a finger and it was legitimate?

Yep theres more about that in a thread in the gab room from a while ago. His case was legitimate...doesn't look like he's out to fraud anyone.

Even though the Wendy's case wasn't "real" I still find myself looking through the frosty's for chuncks :lol:

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By Mmoc · Posted

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.
