Hi there, I have a question regarding things that are deep fried. I read that we cannot eat anything that has been deep fried in shared oil, like if fries are fried in same fryer as chicken nuggets and such.. but have also been told that the heat in the oil will kill the gluten on the fries.. and I was at a restaurant the other day and wanted yam fries, but was told they were cooked in the same fryer as the other breaded items.. yet a girl who was at restaurant who was also celiac ordered them and was fine... so can we eat fries that are in a shared fryer?? thx!

Nope, we can not... period. It's cross contamination and will do damage even if it doesn't cause physical symptoms. It stinks, but there it is. There ARE places w/ dedicated fryers and I'm grateful for them!

Unfortunately, you can't kill gluten, it isn't alive. You can burn it completely up at about 600 degrees. I think fryers are 350 -400 degrees. :angry:

In another topic a while back, it was stated that to "denature" gluten with heat, it must be held at no less than 650 degrees for at least 30 minutes.

Sheesh. It might as well be alive seeing as how it "instigates" and causes our "living" immune system to destroy us.

But no we can't share the fryer. And I found out the hard way...

I heard the same thing at 2 restaurants now. A local Boston Pizza gave me there gluten free list and when saw fries on there I immediately inquired if they have a separate deep frier. I was told that because of the high temperature of the oil the fries did not become contaminated. I told the waitress that's not possible and not to give the fries to people with gluten allergies. But then I was at another restaurant last week and they said the same thing? This must be coming for somewhere? I would like to know more about it.

(on a side note has anyone tried Boston Pizza's gluten-free pizza?)

I find that worrying. I was at burger place that does gluten free buns and they were very careful to warn me that the fryer was shared with breaded products and therefore a risk. Of course,I'd only been gluten free for a short time and I was stupid curious enough to want to test it and I found out the hard way that they (and all the warnings I'd read here) were right. Ugh.

Their gluten free pizza isn't all that bad, I've only had it once. The gluten-free pizza bread soaks up a lot of the pizza sauce so it looks kinda dry but it isn't. Next time though I am going to ask for extra sauce because that's how I like it.

It is an unfortunate urban legend. By the time the heat got to where gluten was not a problem, the whole fryer would go up in flames. Shared fryer food has made me quite sick in the past and I don't risk it any more. There are folks with silent celiac who can eat foods like shared fryer items with no symptoms. It's not clear what they are doing to their bodies over the long run.

Completely false (about the fryer).

Gluten is thought to be denatured enough to not cause a celiac reaction at 600F, or 315C. That's 46F/115C to 120F/250C hotter than a fryer gets (depending on the method they use for frying).

      Certified gluten free oats

      By dublin555 · Posted

      Yeah, it’s tricky. I’ve seen a lot of mixed opinions too. Some folks can tolerate certified gluten-free oats without a problem, but others with celiac still react. Honestly, it really depends on your sensitivity. Your doctor would be the best person to ask about your specific situation.

      Can gallbladder issues cause symptoms of celiac disease?

      I can't edit my posts, but I forgot to note as well: I also had low iron and vitamin d according to my blood tests, despite already taking supplements for each

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Hi @Soleihey, it looks like you are making great progress.  This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study:

      Can gallbladder issues cause symptoms of celiac disease?

      By robingfellow · Posted

      I've had symptoms of celiac disease since May 2022 (joint pain, severe migraines, digestive troubles, tachycardia, and hypothyroidism, fatigue) and couldn't figure out what was wrong, especially because I had no access to a doctor. In August of last year I tried a gluten free diet out of desperation and found all my symptoms clearing up! Especially the more of my diet I realized contained gluten and eliminated from my diet. I've even been able to maintain full-But just a couple weeks ago I had to have my gallbladder removed in am emergency surgery, and afterwards the surgeon suggested that a lot of my issues could have been caused by my gallbladder not working properly, but I haven't heard anything about that before. Any ideas? I don't want to try to reintroduce gluten without being certain it won't bring back my issues. It's already troubling enough to know I might have to reintroduce it to my diet just to be tested.
