You Are Not My Friend, Wingstop...

I emailed WingStop to see if they were still gluten-free, since I noticed a breaded item sneak on to their menu, and I didn't know about their oils, fryers, etc. I guessed they were no longer gluten-free, but what the heck. I gave them a brief description of Celiac and gluten, and they give me primarily LOW CARB INFORMATION and toss in gluten-free at the end. Idiots. :rolleyes:

I could make a snarky comment about stupid Texan companies but I'll refrain...

"Dear Chelsea:

We appreciate your interest in including our menu items in your healthy life style.

It is always our goal to satisfy our guests. We have a number of items on our menu, with recipes that are subject to slight changes throughout the year. We do not have the nutritional values calculated for these items. Since we prepare our food fresh to order, the recipe specifications can vary. Thus we are unable to provide detailed information regarding the ingredients / nutritional information of our menu items.

We can provide you with the following information regarding our sauces:

TOTAL CARBOHYDRATES (serving size 10 wings)

• Lemon Pepper…0 grams

• Original Hot……2 grams

• Cajun……………4 grams

• Atomic…………..4 grams

• Mild……………..5 grams

• Garlic Parmesan..6 grams

• Hawaiian BBQ….8 grams

• Teriyaki…………10 grams

There is no fat in the Hot, Atomic and Cajun sauces.

Additionally, our Original Hot Sauce has 0g Total Fat, 0g Cholesterol, 140 mg Sodium, 0g Sugars and 0g Protein.

Of course, we cook our chicken from the raw state with no breading.

We were gluten free until recently we added a Boneless Wing to our menu which is a battered and breaded chicken breast strip. Since we rotate our oil through all fryers we are no longer gluten free in any area.

That was all that they needed to say! What was the point in giving you all that other information?

EXACTLY! Who eats wings on a diet anyway? Duh, that one little paragraph is going to make me avoid you like the plague, no matter how low-carb your food is. BAH! Even if they were gluten-free, I'd probably stay away because they're so effin' stupid! :angry::rolleyes:

Hello, it's an allergy, not a diet.

It's a shame I'm so shy and reserved, eh? :P

True, it's ok for Atkins I guess...especially since I now have all of their carb info!

Other diets, not so much. Deep fried chicken fat can't be good...

The company must be run by politicians with all that blathering. I think it is so nice of them to congratulate you in your "healthy lifestyle." This is not some fad diet and that is the way they made it sound.

It reads like they are trying to be politically correct and cover all of their bases. What a bunch of maroons they are!

thanks  for this,  one just opened up in NY down the street from me so it is good to know about them adding the breaded items. I guess they basically said screw people on a gluten free diet

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions...

      Why Bananas No Longer Cure Celiac Disease

      I missed this article when it was first put up. It is interesting to read, as my old neighbour who sadly passed away a few years ago was a trainee midwife during WWII. Bananas disappeared from the shops in Britain during the war, but she told me that those that did get to the UK were kept back for infants with coeliac disease. I didn't realise that...

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease, and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with...

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important...

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?
