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.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      By Levi · Posted

      I have taken D2 50K oral capsules once weekly for 7 years consecutively due to a dangerously low deficiency level of 17. It took 3 whole years before I reached D level 34, followed by higher D levels up to low 70s. Two or three times throughout the following 4 yrs my labs would show slight high TSH (hypothyroidism). Is it possible that the last 4 of the 7 consecutive years of D2 50K which gradually increased my D levels to 60s & 70s is causing current labs of high TSH, even though for at least the last 4 months I have reduced my D2 50K intake to half dosage, every other week vs. weekly?

      Can celiac cause widespread pain??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Untreated celiac disease is associated with arthritis and other autoimmune diseases which can cause such pain. These categories have research articles on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/fibromyalgia-and-celiac-disease/ https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/arthritis-and-celiac-disease/

      Can celiac cause widespread pain??

      By Paula Andrews · Posted

      Hi! Did anyone experience severe body aches prior to being diagnosed?  Last year I suddenly experienced widespread pain, completely unexplained. After numerous tests with normal results I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in August and started taking Cymbalta, which helped about 80%. Now other than pain, I did not have any additional fibromyalgia symptoms.    In the following months I started experiencing diarrhea, to the point where it was constant. In January I was diagnosed with celiac disease and microscopic colitis after having an endoscopy/colonoscopy. I've been gluten-free since that day and recently my pain level has dropped to ZERO.  I'm starting to wonder if I even have fibromyalgia, or if all of my symptoms were celiac and colitis.  I've seen several doctors and no one suggested this, but from what I'm reading it sounds possible.  The fact that I was diagnosed with two different diseases within a few months also seems odd. Has anyone else experienced all-over body aches with celiac?  And if so did the pain end after eliminating gluten?  Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has either celiac or fibromyalgia to talk to.

      Help Understanding Test Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Understood, and with any positive blood test the usual next step is a biopsy to confirm celiac disease, and this would be true even if the tTg-IgA is negative.

      ADA, if that applies to you, has specific procedures, guidelines, rules, and regulations for employers to accommodate employees with disabilities. Check with your company HR Dpt. As Scott has mentioned this would be a quick fix, with the protection afforded employees with disabilities through ADA there is no need for you to job hunt. Hope this helps.    Ps. Coeliac Disease is now a listed Disability in the U.S.
