They make the claim that they are gluten-free but the website Verywell.com, this site rocks and is updated regularly, said that they can be cross contaminated. Anybody ever give these fries a try with any success?

Used to years ago no issue, do not do carbs any more for other AI issues. But I cook with them as a chef. Ora Ida is one of the few french fries you can trust that have performed quite well with the celiac community, I suggest their plain fries, and hash-browns to those who can still tolerate carbs. Some celiacs react to nightshades or have carb issues like me and can not tolerate any kind of potatoes. They did start a new product line of breaded porducts that do contain gluten but from my understanding they were produced in a different facility entirely.

I always keep their hash browns diced and shredded in stock for doing scrambles for guest, and cooking up breakfast for the guys next door (form of income). Cheap easy and pairs great with eggs while being the most whole food compliant you can find. Open Original Shared Link
Other thoughts, stick with the country style premium fries, the others versions sometimes contain xantham gum which many celiacs develop a intolerance to or corn which some have issues with. Open Original Shared Link

I am in the US and use them often.  I don't know anything about that site or where it gets its information or why it would even involve itself in telling Celiacs what foods that are labeled, tested and manufactured to be gluten-free are not gluten-free.

I eat them (sparingly because I am a diabetic and potatoes raise my blood sugar). I have several bags in the freezer and dang it, I gave in and ate some with my lettuce-wrapped burger the other day.  I have some remorse though.  They did not taste as good as I thought they would.  Guess my tastebuds for junk food has diminished.  Homemade fries or roasted sweet potato chips are frankly much tastier!  

Verywell has some great  advice, but keep in mind that the author has DH.  DH can be really hard to manage.  For example, too much iodine can set off the rash or make it worse.    Some people with DH have to be in a really restrictive diet as 20 ppm maybe too much for them.  It maybe too much for some celiacs who are super sensitive.  Not much research has been done to determine different spectrums of celiac disease.  

If you are perplexed like me about how much gluten is too much for you, err in the side on non-processed foods at least until you feel better or ask us!

I eat them all the time and have no problems even though I am fairly sensitive.

      Can gallbladder issues cause symptoms of celiac disease?

      I can't edit my posts, but I forgot to note as well: I also had low iron and vitamin d according to my blood tests, despite already taking supplements for each

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Hi @Soleihey, it looks like you are making great progress.  This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study:

      Can gallbladder issues cause symptoms of celiac disease?

      By robingfellow · Posted

      I've had symptoms of celiac disease since May 2022 (joint pain, severe migraines, digestive troubles, tachycardia, and hypothyroidism, fatigue) and couldn't figure out what was wrong, especially because I had no access to a doctor. In August of last year I tried a gluten free diet out of desperation and found all my symptoms clearing up! Especially the more of my diet I realized contained gluten and eliminated from my diet. I've even been able to maintain full-But just a couple weeks ago I had to have my gallbladder removed in am emergency surgery, and afterwards the surgeon suggested that a lot of my issues could have been caused by my gallbladder not working properly, but I haven't heard anything about that before. Any ideas? I don't want to try to reintroduce gluten without being certain it won't bring back my issues. It's already troubling enough to know I might have to reintroduce it to my diet just to be tested.

      Celebrity Luncheon Loaf Gluten Free

      By robingfellow · Posted

      I can also report from personally trying it that while not tasting quite as good as Spam, it is still very good especially compared to other Luncheon Loaf options that may not be gluten free
