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

      Need Advice on Doctors

      I recently had an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and blood tests, and my gastroenterologist concluded that I’m “likely gluten sensitive.” However, they wouldn’t provide a prescription or a formal doctor’s note—just a test result saying I’m likely gluten sensitive, along with the advice to avoid gluten. I’m frustrated because I know that proper doc...

      Celiac, Fructose and Lactose

      Hi, I'm very frustrated with my problems related to the above. I find Gluten to be easier than fructose, at times even lactose b/c I love cheese. I do buy lactose free dairy products but still have problems. Have recently been adding more bread to bulk up my stools. Any suggestions for products that might help? Thx. AP

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      Welcome to the forum, your symptoms are certainly consistent with possible celiac disease. Were you eating lots of gluten daily in the 6-8 weeks before the test? If not it could lead to false negative results. When you post your results please also include the reference ranges, as each lab uses their own. Good luck!

      Keep us posted on your results. I hope you don't have to wait too long. Are you planning to have your son tested? Do you feel your father might get tested? Wishing you all better health.🍀

      Waiting on camera test

      Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks before your blood test? If not, you can end up with false negative results. Feel free to share your blood test results--were your antibody levels elevated at all? Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms g...

I’m frustrated because I know that proper documentation could help with tax breaks for gluten-free foods and even workplace accommodations. I’m also not willing to go through another gluten challenge—it was rough! Does anyone have recommendations for a doctor (U.S. based preferably Texas) who is more understanding and willing to provide the necessary documentation for gluten sensitivity? I’d really appreciate any suggestions!

Feel free to share your blood test results--were your antibody levels elevated at all?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. If your biopsy ends up negative you still may want to go gluten-free for a few months to see if your symptoms go away. Also, be sure to eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks leading up to your endoscopy, otherwise you could get false negative results.
