I drove past McDs today and began thinking about their vanilla milkshake ! Does anyone know if their milkshakes or 'McFlurry' ice cream is gluten-free? And what about the fries? I go there occasionally with my young child so I'd really appreciate knowing if there's anything 'safe' in there. Deb

I began to think that this was wonderful. However, over the last couple of weeks I'm not feeling so good again. My stomach's nowhere near as bad as before gluten-free, but it...

Well yes, here in the UK. Sorry, it's easy to just assume that all ingredients that we're familiar with are available everywhere . it's just ready-made meringue (egg whites and sugar) which is then crushed.
