"mfg. In A Plant That Processes Wheat"

My favorite frozen french fries say they are mfg in a plant that processes wheat. Does this mean I can't eat it? I'm just learning and very confused. Thanks!

This is a risk factor. I eat some things that are "manufactured in a facility....wheat". It just means that somewhere in the facility there's wheat. It doesn't tell you in what form or how close. On the other hand, there are others from which I have been glutened and I won't eat those brands again.

I personally draw the line at "manufactured on the same lines...." because I've gotten "got" by too many of those.

yeah i don't like to risk it either. i used to buy beans from walmart that said that on the cans, and just washed the beans really well, but i don't eat beans anymore.

I just inquired about the FritoLay product contamination.. and regardless of what people say, I might try it a few more times, but I am starting to feel like it definitely DOES matter. I've been sick when the bag/box says that stuff.. maybe not all the time, I don't know yet..But I would rather be feeling good than feeling sick because I thought something might be ok. Its just not worth it.

Thanks so much. I may have to start mfg my own french fries...

But I haven't been gluten-free long enough yet to tell if those frozen ones make me any sicker. I guess I'll go off of them for now and test them later when I'll be more sensitive to gluten.

Thanks!

My mom used to make us our own french fries! just cut up a potatoe and fry it in oil. They are really good!!! My sister used to slice potatoes really thin and then fry those so that they kinda resembled a fry/chip. then she'd put powdered ranch or bbq seasoning on them (I know that stuff has gluten alot of times.. but any kind of powder, whether its a seasoning for meat or a salad dressing mix, would work good if you like the flavor and can verify its gluten-free!)

Make your own fries! A fry shouldn't have anything in it but potato. Dust lightly with salt and/or pepper, and for a tasty treat, herbs. You can also top it with garlic and fresh grated parmesan cheese, yum.

Ore Ida that makes a lot of gluten free fries. They have a list on their web site heres a link,

Open Original Shared Link

If you have a wegmans near you they label all their gluten free stuff.

Fries as many have said are really easy to though. I cut up a potato in wedges and put it on a pan on tin foil then drizzle with olive oil and seasoning, I use McCormicks brand and bake till brown stirring the pan once. If I am in a hurry I will microwave it for a minute first. You can do a lot with the humble tater.

You could try Cascadian farms.

I just had this happen to me this week. My husband bought some corn tortillias that had that warning on them. I did not realize he had bought a different kind and ate part of one. I had put some tomato product on it like a baguette but didn't like the taste so I only had 2 bites. The next day I was in so much pain and couldn't figure out what I had done. Then it dawned on me that he had gone to Wal-Mart not the grocery store whose brand we normally buy. I went and checked it out and sure enough it was not my brand. I have had this happen to me twice now with two different brands of corn tortillias.

      What should I do with these test results?

      I haven't seen any information there are other genes which trents wrote but what if I spend money to do this test and the results show I have these genes. It will mean nothing. I can have these genes and not have celiac disease if I know it right. Because biopsy is not available, unfortunately, the most reliable methods are blood tests, in my opinion...

      Gluten migranes at night

      The first symptoms I had of coeliac disease were migraines. I think your doctor needs to test you for coeliac disease. The fact you are having migraines at night is interesting, but I never used to drink enough and my headaches were worse when I woke up in the morning. Dehydration was also a big cause for me.

      Gluten migranes at night

      I'll ask the same question that knitty kitty asked? On what basis did your Dr arrive at the conclusion that you have gluten intolerance? But let's be clear about terminology because the terms "gluten intolerance" and "gluten sensitivity" are typically used interchangeably out there in the wild and both are used indiscriminately to speak of two different...

      Gluten migranes at night

      Interesting....my Dr says since migranes are my only symptom she says I have gluten intolerance. I have stopped eating gluten. However, it seems to sneak in from time to time. Example: I ate canned mushrooms! Never thought canned mushrooms could have gluten, but they did. I had a migrane for 3 nights straight. Or I eat out, I think I am getting gluten free...

      What should I do with these test results?

      By Jack Common · Posted

      I haven't seen any information there are other genes which trents wrote but what if I spend money to do this test and the results show I have these genes. It will mean nothing. I can have these genes and not have celiac disease if I know it right. Because biopsy is not available, unfortunately, the most reliable methods are blood tests, in my opinion. So I'm gonna eat gluten for another two months and then do the test again. It will be 12 weeks eating food with gluten so some symptoms might appear. Now, I don't have any except fogginess but I'm a software developer so it could be normal for me. Talking about how much food containing gluten to eat, I'm eating 6 slices of wheat bread per day (each slice weighs around 35 grams). I think it's much more than other people eat doing a gluten challenge. Before a gluten free diet I had symptoms like some food intolerance, diarrhea, bloating, belching. However, I also had giardiasis and after treating it I started a gluten free diet so it's unclear whether I had this symptoms because of eliminating gluten or this parasite. The symptoms for both are very similar. So I think it was this parasite because two years ago and before I didn't have these symptoms and I always ate gluten freely. Am I thinking okay or should I consider/do something else? I appreciate any suggestions.

      Night time migranes

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine.  Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine.  Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter.  Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycles.   Some foods like gluten and nuts contain high histamine themselves or trigger our bodies to produce more histamine.  A low histamine diet is helpful, cutting out high histamine foods and histamine-release triggering foods.   Our bodies can breakdown a certain amount of histamine, but sometimes our bodies cannot keep up with the amount of histamine needing to be broken down, and can be overwhelmed by the amount of histamine resulting in Histamine Intolerance and health problems like migraines.   Vitamins C, B12, Pyridoxine B6 and thiamin B1 help lower histamine levels.  Our bodies use these vitamins to make an enzyme DOA (diamond oxidase) that breaks down histamine.  DAO from beef or pork kidney is an over-the-counter supplement that can be taken.   Riboflavin B2 is very helpful for relieving migraines.   Have you been diagnosed with Celiac Disease or suspect you have it?   Happy Holidays!

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ABP2025, Have you thought about having a DNA test to check for known Celiac genes?    I do hope you will make sure that you are getting sufficient gluten to provoke an autoimmune response strong enough that the antibodies can be measured in the blood.  See article below. Celiac disease affects the absorption of nutrients,  including vitamins and minerals.  Your symptoms may be associated with thiamine deficiency.   Migraines and peripheral neuropathy, phimosis (yes, even this), and white spots on the brain are seen in thiamine deficiency.  Celiac disease disrupts the absorption of all the essential nutrients, but thiamine can be quickly depleted, in as little as three days.  Thiamine deficiency can occur even if blood tests show normal levels.  Thiamine deficiency can affect antibody production.

      Night time migranes

      By Debado · Posted

      Anybody ever heard of getting a migrane from gluten and coconut oil ONLY at night?   If I consume gluten or coconut oil, even in the morning,  I will get a migrane. But not until half way thru the night. I don't get this. Why at night? Why not right after I eat?
