Mcdonalds Frappe Reaction

My son drank a caramel frappe and pretty much straight away got pretty sick. I think it was probably a reaction; he doesn't want to believe it.

 

I think these are supposed to be gluten free, according to ingredients. Anyone know anything about whether they are prone to cross contamination? Are they made on the same machine as the flurries?

 

He's also allergic to nuts and fish, but that usually causes hives/swelling. He doesn't have problems with dairy foods (or large amounts of junk food, come to that).

Have you double checked the ingrediants?  There is always a chance of CC when eating/drinking out.  Hope he feels better soon.

I just avoid McDonald's all together.

 

I've had reactions to things there that are supposed to be gluten free.

I have not eaten McDonalds, Burger King or any of those joints in 8 years, this also includes pre diagnosis years.post diagnosis I avoid eating out if at all possible. We have a place by our house we go to and have found a server who takes us when we come in, after hearing about my condition, and each time we have gone,(it's not been a whole lot) no incidents. But as for the frappes ditch them., I used to get drinks similar at a local coffeehouse. Upon ditching them made with other types of milk,almond,coconut etc I'd still get ill feeling. I think it may have honestly been an issue the cc in that place because the staff didn't seem to get gluten sensitivity/intolerance/celiacs.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By trents · Posted

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
