I have listened to the debate and didn't bother to check the allergen menus, ha ha jokes on me!

Yes, I should have looked for the info myself and I finally did! If you want fast food french fries, stick with Burger King!!! They were the only ones that I found that didn't list wheat or gluten as an allergen in regard to their french fries.

Cripes I am so annoyed with myself for not checking this out myself.

You are opening a can of worms with the mention of fast food fries and the debate on if some are gluten free or not. ;)

My son and I both eat McDonalds fries with no ill effects.

I avoid them all. Better safe than sorry. I have heard BK's are safe, but I am the person that ALWAYS ends up with the mystery prize, a hidden onion ring. :(

Are you sure Burger King's fries are safe? There are always other things in the same fry box like onion rings and what not. Eek!

Burger Kings policy is to have a separate fryer as is the same with most fast food restaurants. I have never seen foods come out of the french fry fryer.

I can only tell you what they do and don't say on their websites and all of them except Burger King says there is wheat in their fries.

I have had too many issues over the last year that it isn't worth it to me to eat something that doesn't bother most people. I don't like being sick and if I had gone to the fast foods websites in the first place then I wouldn't have eaten the fries. MY OWN FAULT!!! but i listened to people on here say it didn't bother them. Again my fault for not checking the companies website. SO I thought it might be a good idea to post this information for those of us that get sick easier and wonder why.

What about Chick-fil- a???? Anyone know about these? The fries are listed as gluten free, so in a bind we get fries and a fruit cup. Has anyone had issues there?

I ONLY eat Chik-fil-A fries. Unfortunately... the closest one is a 2 hour drive away, so they're a rare and special treat!

Their website says they are gluten-free. I would trust them. Pre-gluten-free days I don't recall ever getting anything stray in my fries.

      Vaccines

      Hi Dawn, Back in the Fall of 2019 with Covid looming I considered getting a pneumonia vaccine. I went as far as getting in line and reading the pamphlet and saw the warning about not getting it if you ever had a reaction to diphtheria. I instantly recalled a tetanus booster shot in 1971 that caused a severe reaction. Tetanus booster shots include diphtheria...

      Vaccines

      Since we don't know what you reacting to when you get vaccinated, we can't say whether or not the pneumonia vaccine will cause a reaction. Is there some common ingredient in these vaccines that is causing a reaction. I mean, with many vaccines the antigen is delivered via a solution containing albumin (chicken egg protein). Some people are allergic to chicken...

      potato chip cross contamination

      Cape Cod potato chips are gluten-free, according to the company. I've never had a problem with these.

      I'm 63 Thank you for the article. I have worked with Dietitian at Mayo and also had breath testing done.

      Dawn, yes, once the genes that give the potential for the development of celiac disease are "turned on" so to speak, they will be on for the rest of your life. It is not something that is cured or comes and goes but something that must be managed. Eliminating major sources of gluten from one's diet is pretty straight forward but many don't realize the multitude...

      Hi Dawn,   Back in the Fall of 2019 with Covid looming I considered getting a pneumonia vaccine.  I went as far as getting in line and reading the pamphlet and saw the warning about not getting it if you ever had a reaction to diphtheria.  I instantly recalled a tetanus booster shot in 1971 that caused a severe reaction.  Tetanus booster shots include diphtheria.  I haven't had a tetanus shot since, but recent lab results show that I have many timed the immunity required.  Good Luck.

Some people are allergic to chicken egg protein so they can't take those vaccines. That kind of thing. When you say your "numbers are off the chart", what numbers do you refer to? Are you referring to celiac disease antibodies?

      I'm 63  Thank you for the article. I have worked with Dietitian at Mayo and also had breath testing done. They felt I was following a strict gluten-free diet along with eliminating sugar alcohol and chicory root. Also don't eat a lot meat, eggs and peppers. Because I get so sick I use only gluten-free products for my skin food medicine my pet food is gluten-free and I live alone so all my cooking stuff is all brand new prior to being diagnosed.  I buy only organic certified gluten free products and if not sure  look up or just don't eat or use. The Dermatologist at Mayo gave me a list of gluten-free products that I can use. ( personal products,  laundry detergent, I use vinegar and baking soda for cleaning ) . I ask family and friends to not bring  anything  in to my home that has gluten in it. I have tried  everything and my numbers still off the charts.   So as for the pneumonia vaccine I question if it has anything in it that will react negative in me?

      Dawn, yes, once the genes that give the potential for the development of celiac disease are "turned on" so to speak, they will be on for the rest of your life. It is not something that is cured or comes and goes but something that must be managed. Eliminating major sources of gluten from one's diet is pretty straight forward but many don't realize the multitude of places and ways gluten is hidden in the food supply and sneaks its way into our eats. So, eating "lower gluten' is easy but attaining a consistently and truly gluten free state is much harder and requires diligence. I am linking this article that might be of help to you in that regard:
