    Is this like startng a culture on bread for blue cheese? richard

    I'll take issue with or comment on some of these potential food source problems. bouillon cubes -- maybe I'm wrong, but can anybody name one that definitely has gluten? cold cuts, hot dogs, salami, sausage - in fact, virtually all of these are gluten-free, at least in the U.S. For example, now that Nathan's has eliminated wheat, I don't know of any...

    The comment about MFS is just flat-out wrong. richard

    You absolutely have to quit eating gluten. Most of the gluten you're eating is very obvious -- pasta, bread, many sauces, anything that lists wheat or malt in the ingredients. Just avoiding those will cut most of the gluten from your diet. And keep reading and studying to cut out the rest. richard

    Say bye-bye to that cousin. richard

    As I said before, sandsurfgirl, McD fries have been independently tested as gluten-free. The most sensitive test in the world cannot find gluten. Also as I said before, the Wendy's fries do NOT have gluten (read the ingredient list) and in the vast majority of their restaurants they are cooked in dedicated fryers. But you DO have to ask. I'm still curious...

    The Hardee's (same company as Carl's) where I eat the low carb burger do NOT have dedicated fryers. You need to ask. richard

    If it doesn't list wheat it's almost certainly gluten-free. I've yet to find any type of cooking oil that has gluten. richard

    I would consider Beano gluten-free. From their FAQ page. "The smallest amount of gluten that can be chemically detected in a product is 0.00016 percent. Results of our testing have shown that Beano contains less than 0.00016 percent gluten." IOW, their testing could not detect gluten in Beano.

    Virtually any pre-made bread. richard

    Of course this in one of those things with no pat answer. It all depends on the person, the amount of damage, what and how much you ate, and so on. richard

    Every grain, livestock, food and celiac expert I've heard of agrees that wheat-fed animals are no threat at all to people with celiac. Just look at the number of celiacs who eat them with no ill effect. As for mad cow, passing a disease along to an animal through grain is an entirely different matter than whether gluten would make its way through to the...

    I think Brien is asking for hot drinks that are NOT coffee or tea. richard

    Sandsurfgirl is right, the chili thing is completely untrue. Not only does Wendy's have a policy against doing this, in most places it would probably violate health laws. richard

    Sandsurfgirl, McD's fries have been independently tested by celiac organizations and they test free of gluten. Wheat is NOT used as a binder in them. There is a some small amount of wheat in something to do with the oil before the oil is processed, so they list wheat in the ingredients, but the gluten is processed out. Wheat is also NOT used in Wendy's...

    ANYTHING with a sauce is an automatic red flag. As others have said, you have to ask. And Applebees is one of the worst places for us. Generally uncooperative. Take your money elsewhere. richard

    No risk on the skin itself. You cannot absorb gluten through your skin. richard

    Rose, Wendy's has dedicated fryers at almost all of their restaurants, but you need to aks. McD has dedicated fryers at all of theirs. Same with BK, but they seem to be sloppy with it. Chik-fil-a has a dedicated fryer for its waffle fries and 5 Guys fries nothing other than gluten-free fries. However, I have found that the vast majority of non-fast-food...

    I've never seen one that isn't, but you need to find out about specific brands or talk to the people making it, not kettle corn in general. richardr

    I apologize, but I've read this in so many places that I no longer have a link to where it came from. You might find something through a google search. I've been gluten-free for more than 8 years and really haven't worried at all about sticky labels. richard

    Vomiting absolutely is NOT one of the main symptoms. It just isn't. The only time I've vomited from POSSIBLE gluten ingestion was well after I went gluten-free, and I can't be sure that was from gluten. And before I was diagnosed, I was just about as sick as one could get from celiac without dying. richard

    Given the short amount of time you've been gluten-free, I'm guessing there's a good chance you'll change your view on this. richard
  23. lovegrov
    Don't know of any gin that isn't gluten-free. richard
  24. lovegrov
    Maybe I'm just adding on to the problem by commenting, but we really need people to not resurrect really, really old threads. richard

    If they're calling it a neurosis or calling you picky, they don't mean well. They need to grow up. However, you can't dictate where everybody eats, either. My office always seems to eat at places that are tough for me, but that's life. Glad you were able to pull it together for the second choice. richard
