    I have not tried it but I eat artichokes like 4 times a week, I love them dipped in butter. I hope it counts that way! Susan

    Well my travel tips are: check out the restaurants in the area you are staying BEFORE you get down there, you can find a lot of info on the internet and locate the chains near you that do gluten-free, have their addresses and phone numbers written down. I often call them or e-mail them prior to getting down there. I buy small travel packages of gluten...

    What does, "its not cheap" mean.... $100 or $500 or $1000? I'm not sure how to find a lab that does it, when I google it I keep getting labs that test people for Celiac not french fries! Susan

    I'm the person that umm started this, well not this one.... but the entire McDonalds French Fries and gluten thing. I am sorry that its pissed a lot of people off (I'm certainly not sorry I posted it) but its better to have the facts then not have them. And I'm sorry that some people are angry that I've continued to post on it . The story has turned...

    Yes of course its possible that the manager made a mistake, like everyone always says... eating out is a risk. I'm sorry this happened to you and I hope you feel better soon. I'm going to stay away from those bread crumbs too, I can see how they would be easy to mix up. Susan!

    I have a question... is it possible for say... me to test McDonalds fries? I mean what is stopping me from buying some fries and sending them somewhere to test for gluten. I know that this doesn't mean that the results I get would be the same for every McDonalds but I'm just sort of wondering out loud here. Does anyone know where you can send something...

    I've said this a million times a lot of people are probably sick of me saying it. I go to Legal Seafoods all the time and even still when I get seated I ask the hostess if she could please send the manager over to my table. When he gets there I introduce myself (the Legal at Copley Place, Boston knows me I know all the managers and I still do this) and...

    From: Open Original Shared Link website: MSNBC.com Report: McDonald's fries contain allergens New ingredients labels include wheat, dairy, according to newspaper MSNBC Updated: 12:44 p.m. ET Feb. 13, 2006 McDonald's french fries contain "wheat and milk ingredients" that could pose problems for people who have allergies to these substances...

    Well cruise lines are getting on board with all the various food issues, I've cruised a lot and I've got gluten issues and my daughter has peanut and tree nut allergies. However for a honeymoon look into Windstar Cruises its been voted by all the travel magazines as the most romantic cruise line. There will be almost no children on board (I hate other...

    I'd like to copy the story that David wrote to another couple of lists and people but I don't want to violate the copyright, am I allowed to do that if I include all the info? If not is there a way to link directly to his post, not the page his post is on but the actual post? thanks, Susan

    Well I was going to post this too, I am going this weekend to buy one as well in light of the McDonalds thing.. my daughter and I don't very often eat fried food but once in a while we get a hankering for fries. My best friend has a Tfal and loves it, other then that you might want to check on epinions and see if any are reviewed. Susan

    OH darn I was in Nashville a few months ago and didn't know about this but I did have no problems finding safe places to eat there, so it was a good trip. I'll check it out when I go next year, thanks for the info! Susan

    >> Trust is something you earn. They have a lot of "earning" to do. Very good point, I'm with you on this 100%. Susan

    I just wanted to say that we really all need to keep this up now and then.... the calling and letter writing. I do it too... because as more and more people are diagnosed with Celiac and various other allergies it will become more important to companies to find out what is in their products. The more pressure we put on them the more inclined they will be...

    I react to fritos too! Susan

    I have tons of food allergies as well and similar symptoms, pain, gas, all sorts of GI symptoms. You might want to talk to the GI doctor about having your son take Gastrocrom... its a mast cell inhibitor... (which are allergy related) its got virtually no side effects, you mix a few drops with a glass of water before you eat and it mitigates the allergic...

    Wow and to think I started this firestorm! If you take the ketchup and salt and mix it with their gluten-free water you can call it tomato soup. One thing that always bugs me... I'm on a variety of lists, but its when people say, its ONLY french fries or that we need to "get a life" because I'm very involved in a topic. If they don't like all the posts...

    On a Celiac e-mail list I'm on someone just posted that they called McDonalds and they said there is no change in the recipe and they now must list all the ingredients it could contain, but they said that the manufacture of the oil (which is apparently where the beef, wheat and dairy are... why they are there I don't know) any how, the manufacture says that...

    Thanks everyone for your kind words... I went to bed last night feeling... well not bad that I posted the info about McDonalds but more... shaking my head at the human race for a couple of people being angry at me. It wasn't anyone who posted in this thread it was privately to my e-mail. But I'm a big girl and I would never let it stop me from doing the...

    I'm sorry to have been the one to have seen this.. (I'm getting nasty letters from 2 people that I guess couldn't see it and have said I'm crazy/making this up!!) . I can only hope that it is some sort of error but, I'm not sure it is. When I go to the gluten free menu dated 2/3/06 it too lists the french fries as containing wheat and gluten. So I...

    The page with the wheat is clearly dated at the bottom as 2/3/06. It is brand new. But I totally agee with the poster who said (can't remember who right now) its just potatoes why did they go screw them up?? Sigh. Susan
  25. pixiegirl

I am so sorry to break this news to you and I'm so upset, I URGE you all to write to them a contact us link is at the bottom of the web site. susan (sorry for posting so much but I was upset that I was the only one that could see it)
