I have a question, now I know you are not supposed to eat french fries that are fried in the same oil as anything breaded or any not gluten free but when i eat fries from a restuant that are not fried seperatly it doesn't bother my stomach. So my question is, is it ok to still eat the fries, because it does not bother my stomach at all, my aunt who is also a celiac said not to eat them because it could cause damage down the road, but I think that if it were doing any damage then my stomach would hurt, am i right? Lets just say I hope I am!! Thanks!!

Nope you are not right at all. If something is contaminated then you will still get damage from it whether you feel it or not. Some people never get symptoms but get just as much damage. It will hurt you in the long run.

When I first heard about the fries, I was pretty upset. Eating bread itself never upset my stomach before I went on the diet, but it is most likely still damaging the intestines. I would talk to the manager of a restaurant you like to go to and find out if the oil is reused, what kind of oil is used, what foods are cooked in the fryers, etc. McDonalds fries are gluten free.

Unfortunatly, thank you because i was just going to keep eating fries without asking what their frying situation was but now i wont, its dissapointing but if it is doing damage then I wont eat them anymore. :( Only very few places around me fry fries seperatly so i got sick of asking and when i found out it didnt hurt i thought i was in the clear, Thanks everyone for the help!

Yet there is a tendency among celiacs to cite absence of symptoms as evidence that a food is gluten free.

when i eat fries from a restuant that are not fried seperatly it doesn't bother my stomach.

So if Tracykobegf had not inquired about the frier, he/she might have reported an eating out success story in a format with which we are all familiar, "I eat the fries at such-and-such and have never had any problem."

      Oral thrush question

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Has your doctor tested your vitamin D?  Urine Iodine deficiency? Vitamin B12 deficiency can be a contributing factor for oral thrush, especial if you are vegan. Celiac Disease causes  malabsorbtion leading to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Zinc supplementation reduces Candida infections  I know that zinc is an antiviral and have been using zinc glycomate (Cold Eeze lozanges) since 2004 and have not gotten cold or flu since.  The lozenge coats the mucous membrane with zinc, protecting the cell wall from the virus.  This research paper and some others indicate that zinc also acts as an antifungal.  Worth a try, Try to reduce how much food with high omega 6 that you eat to lower your omeaga 6 to 3 ratio.  It helps with inflammation.  Try eating foods with lots of benificial bacteria.  The goal is to repopulate your gut with good guys. Assuming you do not have dermatitis herpetiformis or another reason to limit iodine, Liquid Iodine to raise your iodine to the 600 mcg a day (middle of the RDA range (150-1000mcg)  to boost your immune system.  Iodine has anti-fungal properties that can help kill Candida species.  Your whole body will heal quicker when you have sufficient iodine and vitamin D.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Oral thrush question

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JulieRe! You would do well to get checked for a candida infection of the gut. Yeast thrives on carbs so you might also look into a low carb diet. These kinds of things seem to be more common in the celiac community than in the general population. There is a growing body of evidence that the development of celiac disease is rooted in unhealthy gut biome conditions. It's good that you are getting that red spot on your tongue checked out soon. It's likely related to the thrush but I would also not rule out a neoplasm which you would certainly want to catch early.

      Hi there! I have very similar dermatitis herpetiformis responses. The only thing that helps is dissolving a Benadryl pill and rubbing that on the painful itchy spots that arise on my knees, scalp, elbows. I have been working with a nutritionist who also has celiac we narrowed down to me only getting we certified gluten-free products - which I try the best I can. But then I have found products that use guar gum and other additive gums I have reactions as well. It was my plant based milk. I had to switch to Elmhurst it’s just nuts and milk- most of the time.   I hope that’s helpful! I’ll keep following:) we seem to have very similar reactions!
