Was She (Likely) Glutened?

My husband took our daughter to the park. Afterward he stopped to get her a treat. Rather than get her something from the several options I listed, he got her a McDonald's strawberry sundae with nuts. :angry: Though their site says they're gluten-free, what are the chances of cross-contamination in this case?

If you're asking is it okay to read him the riot act for not following directions on a potential glutening, the answer is yes.

McDonalds, like many other fast food places, does not set out to specifically make their food gluten free, with some sort of monitoring/testing/protocols along the entire way. While it may fall under the category of "naturally gluten free" because the ingredients currently (and I checked their website) don't have gluten, you don't know what was going on in the kitchen nor at the distributor's.

It's probably OK. I know people on here who get the chocolate ones. The person who does the ice cream is usually the person taking the money or , if it's really busy, they have a helper to get drinks & ice cream. I would watch them like a hawk.

This particular item would not be near the top of my list for CC concerns, but, yes, fast-food places in general are dangerous.

I don't think it was from there. I eat fries from there and don't get sick. Don't lay into him too hard.

I eat their caramel sundaes and do just fine.

      Traveling gluten-free in Ireland

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      Of all the countries I have visited in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, I have found eating out in Ireland to be the safest for celiacs. Most restaurants have all allergens (up to 14 different ones) identified on their menus, including wheat and gluten. I have found staff at restaurants to be very knowledgeable regarding gluten and cross-contamination compared to most other countries. Restaurant staff (including management) in Ireland even tried dissuading me from eating some items labeled 'gluten-free' on the menu, fearing that there could be risk of minuscule cross-contamination. Many of the hotels have fresh baked gluten-free breads, pastries, and cakes at their breakfast buffet, something unheard of in most U.S hotels. These are clearly labeled and well separated from gluten-containing items. There are also quite a few gluten-free desserts to satisfy one's sweet tooth.  With everything said and done, the meats and dairy products are simply delicious and worth trying. Overall, I would give dining out in Ireland five stars for celiac safety and quality.

      No, I meant two years ago when you had your most recent upper GI scope.
