It says on their website that the potatoe oles, nachoes and cheese are gluten-free. Has anyone tried them?? I am really craving them right now.

Thanks!

This warning screams don't even think about it...Potato Oles were awesome there though when I could have them.

When checking for allergens, it is important to note that all of our fried menu items are cooked using shared frying oil. For example, Potato Ol

I see this is a really old post but we just got a Taco John's in my town. i recently got dianosed as gluten sensitive (sprue) from blood test and have eaten the potato ole's with cheese sauce and all their other dipping sauces several times and not felt bad in any way. but then so many people on here and other places say even if you don't feel bad from eating gluten/wheat you still may be damaging your inner system so do so at your own risk! (I do). But the super potato ole's say there is gluten in them on the Taco John website so I am trying to figure out what has gluten meat or beans? because the rest of the ingredients in that dish are listed separately as gluten free on the taco john's website. I really would like to try the Super potato ole but then again not if it does have direct gluten in it.

You will never get better and heal if you keep eating like that!  If they say it has gluten, don't eat it.  Not really sure how safe any of the food there would be or how careful the workers are to keep gluten-free food separate from gluten food.  

 

Maybe you should try to eat safe food you make at home for a couple of months.  Give yourself a chance to heal.

 

And Celiac sprue is not just "gluten sensitive".  To me, "gluten sensitive" make it sound like its not a serious illness and you just have to be a little bit careful to avoid gluten.

Thanks for the response. I really don't understand my diagnosis completely and feel that it may be incomplete without a biopsy from a gastroenterologist. But hey that is expensive plus all that preparation for the test. Oh my! Just putting it off since not eating gluten makes me feel better. I eat out a lot. At home its rice cakes with cream cheese and meat on top or gluten free chips and dip. Just not much of a cooker. The poor loaf of gluten free bread I bought a few months ago just sits there with a crazy far out expiration date and I look at it sadly as I walk by thinking it could taste really gross. But these days mostly the Power Bowl at taco bell..chicken and steak since I've given up McDonalds fries and burgers (except for a bunless quarter pounder...but so small looking that way and no fries...just not the same). Now the subway gluten free bread is or was delicious the last time I had it. Even thawed in a microwave tasted potatey (if that's a word). And the low carb breakfast bowl at Hardee's is actually good but again not very filling but Hardee's has the best sausage in the fast food world I believe!

Even if you didn’t have Celiac, that is a horrible way to eat.  You don’t have to do much cooking to eat a lot better than that.  Just because something does  not have gluten ingredients does not mean that a place like Hardee’s  is safe for a Celiac!  The risk of CC is huge!  

It sounds like you should stop your reduced gluten diet and eat a full gluten diet so that you can get a biopsy.  Because you don’t believe you have Celiac without it and you will continue to hurt yourself.

      Hi all, I was diagnosed by blood work about 2 months ago and have since went on a strict gluten free diet. I have an endoscopy in January and the GI dr said nothing about staying on gluten for it; hes aware i went no gluten. starting to heal symptoms include: (this is huge) sensation coming back to genitals and when having a bowl movement. everything has been numb for a long time down there including lower belly button area. good size (not abnormal) bowel movements once a day or every two days. small dot size wart just fell off my finger that was there for years. have not broke out with a cold sore this winter (every winter prior for years i would develop a cold sore on my lip) Ongoing issues I don't sweat. not from my hands, or armpits or feet. I do not get butterflys in stomach. my hands have been so dry for years ive been using a crack cream as they crack and bleed very severely in the fall and winter.  (since going gluten free ive not used crack cream but they are still very very dry and chapped/flaky, no sweat or moisture in palms of hands at all. I dont crave food. i have no cravings at all, not for pizza, ice cream , nothing. my cravings are dead. smell of foods kinda make me hungry, but my stomach blocks it. pins needles in feet get weak legs standing up from sitting and dizzy, things almost turn black. i cannot tolerate veggies or vitamins. Iam vitamin D deficient according to my Dr and Ive tried vitamin D pills. they give me a massive migraine for 8 hours and upset my stomach. the heat from the direct sun make me extremely tired to the point of wanting to pass out. again i don't sweat. broccoli gives me a migraine headache as well. mushrooms, bell peppers burn my stomach. fruits burn my stomach, fats (peanut butter, any oil or fat from meats make me sick to my stomach for a couple hours or longer. salt and pepper burns my stomach. all these issues cause pain at my belly button area and expand to the rest of my upper stomach and sides the more i ingest through out the day. I currently eat bland basmati rice, chicken, pork chops (fat trim), boiled russet potatoes no skin for three meals a day. my snacks are gluten free ground buckwheat flour pancakes. (just water, no oil , salt, dairy.) how am i to get vitamins in my system if i cannot tolerate them in my stomach? i mentioned epidermal vitamin patchs but dr said no. why cant i stand the heat from the sun ? why cant i sweat? thanks for any info.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      Because you have significantly reduced your gluten intake over a considerable amount of time, it is likely that you will test negative on the antibody tests. However, if the $112 for the Quest test is not a burden, it wouldn't hurt to try. It tests for total IGA (to ascertain if you are IGA deficient) and tTG-IGA. If total IGA is deficient, it can result in false negatives in other IGA tests. The tTG-IGA is the single most popular test ordered by physicians. The Quest test is not a complete celiac panel by any means (refer to the linked article above) but it might be a good place to start. Personally, I think you know enough to conclude that you need to get serious about avoiding gluten, whether you have celiac disease or NCGS. Human nature being what it is, however, many people seem to need an official diagnosis of celiac disease in order to stay on the bandwagon. Otherwise, they seem to rationalize cheating on the gluten-free diet. And there is this misconception out there that NCGS is inconvenient and uncomfortable but not harmful so it's okay to cheat. The more we learn about gluten-related disorders the more they seem to not fit into our neat little black and white categories. By the way, celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is classified as an autoimmune disorder.

      These responses are all extremely helpful, ty.  Really good reminder about omega 6.  I also know I'm low in zinc; I took the zinc test where I drank it on a spoon and couldn't taste it.  To that end, I try to eat a lot of oysters.  I do think it would be a good idea to get the blood test.  Two questions: 1-  Is there any reason you wouldn't recommend that I just buy and take a test like this as a first step? 2- I've been somewhat gluten free since ~Jan 2023 (technically organic, gluten free, soy free, light on dairy).  I eat a lot of meat, vegetables, rice -- a common breakfast for me is three eggs and a sausage link, and I can't remember the last time I had a sandwich or bread.  However, because in my mind I didn't think I had an allergy, and I more was doing gluten free to avoid artificially iron-enriched foods, I do make exceptions.  I'll eat breaded calamari.  When my Dad visits, I split mozzarella sticks with him because he loves them so much.  I'll eat the "gluten sensitive" items at a restaurant and if they asked, "is cross contamination ok?",  I always said yes.  Based on that, since I never probably fully eliminated gluten, but it was significantly reduced... is that good enough to take the blood test?  Because the pain in my side gets SO bad (really sometimes I can't function, and I absolutely thought I was dying), I am hesitant to do the gluten challenge.  Would it make sense to take the test, and if it's negative, then consider doing the challenge and seeing if I can deal with eating the bread every day? Thanks again!

      For me, with osteoporosis, Celiac and more than 1 heart condition, the slower, safer route is preferable.  I'm on 5 meds per day.  Too much of anything can disturb absorption of this or that. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.  I'm gone for a few days.
