My teen son works at our local MacDonalds, and I asked him about the fries. They do have a dedicated fryer..BUT...he mentioned that one evening a couple of the employees were trying to create a fried apple pie similar to what some other restaurant has, and they stuck one of the apple pies in the french fryer so there you go...possible cc from the crust of the pie. So you see it could easily happen.

That said, I've occasionally had their fries, and I don't think they bothered me. However, I don't do well with fried things so I didn't eat many of them.

Good heavens! We are not going to go down the McDonald's road again are we? :o

Wheat is just a source of the oil ... there is no measurable gluten in it ... There is no vegetable protien in it, and it has been considered "safe" by all the Celiac associations.

Yes, there is a possiblity of Cross contamination ... there is every where ... including most of our own homes. :rolleyes:

Let's just leave it up to each and every individual whether or not they want to eat there and give poor old McDonalds a rest for a few days :lol:

As much as some of us log on here, its funny how suprised we are when people haven't heard about the whole McD's scenario...

Some folks go a few months between log ins -- hence they missed 99% of the McD's drama in here just a few weeks ago...

Too funny...

LOL we need some sort of massive banner on the front page of the board that says "click here for McDonald's fries threads before you proceed" or something like that. Not that we ever get sick of talking about the fries. :)

It is probably because we miss them so much!

      Is it gluten?

      Being gluten free for two weeks prior to testing can make a difference in the test results if the score is borderline.

      Is it gluten?

      Hello, New to Celiac.com, glad I found this site. I have had a lot of GI issues most of my life. Recently my GI issues got so bad I tried a gluten free diet and made a appointment with my GI doctor. I got the Celiac disease blood test but I had been gluten free for two weeks before the test. My doctor told me being gluten free for two weeks would not...

      An early incubation and inoculation

      I forgot to add a status update on my health. I've had no issues. Been staying away from the foods I know cause GI problems: alcohol, peanuts and mayo. Stools are well-formed and of normal frequency. Consumption of gluten continues to have no effect.

      Is it gluten?

      By A Wilson · Posted

      Hello, New to Celiac.com, glad I found this site. I have had a lot of GI issues most of my life. Recently my GI issues got so bad I tried a gluten free diet and made a appointment with my GI doctor. I  got the Celiac disease blood test but I  had been gluten free for two weeks before the test. My doctor told me being gluten free for two weeks would not make a difference in the test results. I am not sure I believe that.  I have been reading a lot of articles about Celiac disease and they all give the same information. My GI issues are all gone since my gluten free life started around October 16th 2024, and I  don't want to go back to eating gluten. I am nervous about going back to the doctor for my test results.
