    Peter is right. McD fries are definitely done in separate fryers and usually are nowhere near the other fryers. MOST Wendy's fryers are dedicated and the fries are gluten-free. Same with BK, although the fryers are near each other so CC is more likely. Hardees (Carls) does NOT have dedicated fryers. Just to be safe, always ask about dedicated fryers. ...

    Why would you be concerned about your olive oil? Personally, I'm not concerned about any cooking oils. richard

    lovegrov replied to knomad's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Communication is essential when eating out. I won't eat anywhere that I can't establish clear communication with the staff. For instance, are the fried dumplings fried in oil that that's used to fry something that isn't safe? Are you certain that the wraps or noodles used in the items you named rice and rice only? As for celiac symptoms, you did indeed...

    I have to agree. The only natural remedy I know that REALLY works is going gluten-free. richard

    I'm not sure why my doctor knew it but this was actually more than 30 years ago because he diagnosed my father by sight first. And then me several years later. What he didn't know was the DH-celiac connection, so while he urged us over the years to go gluten-free, he didn't push it a lot or tell us about celiac disease. He says that my father and I are still...

    I think what Lisa was saying in essence is that your husband will not absorb gluten through his skin. Yes, if he gets crumbs on his hands and then transfers that to his mouth, he could get sick. But just touching it, no. richard

    I see nothing in the ingredients that would be a threat. If you're still unsure, I would call them richard

    Of course Roanoke also has Outback and Carraba's. Most of the more reliable places are higher end, including Alexander's, Montano's, the Hotel Roanoke Regency Room, the Library, and Carlos (a big favorite of mine). There are a number of other restaurants on the downtown market that I would trust because they have chefs, though I haven't eaten there. In the...

    Concernedmamma, you have lots of fry choices if you're in the U.S. McDonalds fries have been independently tested and shown no gluten. Wendy's fries do not have gluten in them but a small number of Wendy's do not have dedicated fryers so you must ask. Chik-fil-a waffle fries are gluten-free and the fryers are dedicated. If you have them in your area, In and...

    It doesn't affect me at all. richard

    Of course you can carry to term with undiagnosed celiac, but it certainly would make it tougher in most women. richard

    Entrolab would be a waste of your money. As noted by Skylark, you'd still know nothing for certain. richard

    My dermatologist diagnosed mine the second he looked at it. Never had a skin biopsy. richard

    You've already answered your own question -- it depends on the person. Some people are set off by a crumb and others can eat a sandwich with no problem. richard

    Help me remember to come back to this topic. I live in Roanoke (but won't be much help with Lynchburg). richard

    Mine knew as soon as he looked at it. richard

    Let's see, if the steak was too raw for you, then you send it back for more cooking. Cooks sometimes undercook a little bit because if they overcook, there's no way undo that. Not sure about the tough part, I've never had tough meat at OB. Same with the broccoli. If you like your broccoli cooked to death (yuck), that's not the way Outback does it. They leave...

    I'm afraid your baking career is over unless you can find a job in a gluten-free bakery. There's just no way to avoid contamination. richard

    I'm not real sure what else you can do, but You DO have a major problem if you're returning home to live. Maybe somehow you can get her to be more careful to protect you. richard

    Both of those sites that Tidings posted are just flat-out wrong. richard

    If it were made from wheat it would HAVE to be listed, and MFS in the U.S. is rarely if ever made from barley. Never from rye, of course. Looking at their website I see just one flavor that lists MFS, although I do see natural flavors. Some companies list "food" instead of the actual source because the source might change periodically. Still, if it changed...

    I don't care who you sleep with, you've got to have some brains and credentials just to get INTO Stanford, much less through it.

    My DH went away immediately but that's unusual. It can take several months. And as far as I know, the only way to tell is to stop taking dapsone. You might also want to avoid sources of major amounts of iodine -- iodized alt and shellfish -- for a while. richard

    Why wouldn't you trust it? I would. richard
  25. lovegrov
    It's a mistake to automatically assume you will have some kind of horrible side effects. Many people with celiac and many with leprosy take dapsone with no side effects whatsoever. I took it for more than 20 years nearly every day. My doctor started me on too much (about 100 mg per day I think) and I did indeed have a few effects. I ended up at 25 mg per...
