Hi there, I have a question regarding things that are deep fried. I read that we cannot eat anything that has been deep fried in shared oil, like if fries are fried in same fryer as chicken nuggets and such.. but have also been told that the heat in the oil will kill the gluten on the fries.. and I was at a restaurant the other day and wanted yam fries, but was told they were cooked in the same fryer as the other breaded items.. yet a girl who was at restaurant who was also celiac ordered them and was fine... so can we eat fries that are in a shared fryer?? thx!

Nope, we can not... period. It's cross contamination and will do damage even if it doesn't cause physical symptoms. It stinks, but there it is. There ARE places w/ dedicated fryers and I'm grateful for them!

Unfortunately, you can't kill gluten, it isn't alive. You can burn it completely up at about 600 degrees. I think fryers are 350 -400 degrees. :angry:

In another topic a while back, it was stated that to "denature" gluten with heat, it must be held at no less than 650 degrees for at least 30 minutes.

Sheesh. It might as well be alive seeing as how it "instigates" and causes our "living" immune system to destroy us.

But no we can't share the fryer. And I found out the hard way...

I heard the same thing at 2 restaurants now. A local Boston Pizza gave me there gluten free list and when saw fries on there I immediately inquired if they have a separate deep frier. I was told that because of the high temperature of the oil the fries did not become contaminated. I told the waitress that's not possible and not to give the fries to people with gluten allergies. But then I was at another restaurant last week and they said the same thing? This must be coming for somewhere? I would like to know more about it.

(on a side note has anyone tried Boston Pizza's gluten-free pizza?)

I find that worrying. I was at burger place that does gluten free buns and they were very careful to warn me that the fryer was shared with breaded products and therefore a risk. Of course,I'd only been gluten free for a short time and I was stupid curious enough to want to test it and I found out the hard way that they (and all the warnings I'd read here) were right. Ugh.

Their gluten free pizza isn't all that bad, I've only had it once. The gluten-free pizza bread soaks up a lot of the pizza sauce so it looks kinda dry but it isn't. Next time though I am going to ask for extra sauce because that's how I like it.

It is an unfortunate urban legend. By the time the heat got to where gluten was not a problem, the whole fryer would go up in flames. Shared fryer food has made me quite sick in the past and I don't risk it any more. There are folks with silent celiac who can eat foods like shared fryer items with no symptoms. It's not clear what they are doing to their bodies over the long run.

Completely false (about the fryer).

Gluten is thought to be denatured enough to not cause a celiac reaction at 600F, or 315C. That's 46F/115C to 120F/250C hotter than a fryer gets (depending on the method they use for frying).

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/
