First off, you are hijacking the comments for this article, as the article has nothing to do with either McDonald's French fries, or hydrolyzed wheat, and McDonald's does not claim that they are gluten-free, nor do they recommend them for celiacs. It's a personal choice whether or not celiacs decide to include them in their diets. Also, Celiac.com is... -
I have you two sources--Celiac.com and The Gluten Intolerance Group, so you are incorrect that there "isnt a single source online recommending to eat McDonald Fries." You are thinking of Burger King, as McDonald's hasn't changed their fry recipe the way that you falsely describe in your post. McDonald's has made changes to their French fry recipe in...

If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

PS - You might want to look at this post, as gluten detecting service dogs apparently have warned their owners to avoid Trader Joe's gluten-free bagels:

We've done some articles on this: @Rachwertz than you for sharing this! Has your dog ever detected gluten in McDonald's French Fries?

Hydrolyzed wheat in McDonald's French fries does not mean they are not gluten-free because the hydrolysis process breaks down gluten proteins into smaller fragments, reducing them to a level that is typically below the FDA's threshold of 20 ppm for gluten-free labeling.

Confusing test results
Scott Adams replied to maggiemaay's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The test means that it's unlikely that you have celiac disease, but normally a full panel is done that includes a couple of other tests, and it is too bad those were not done. 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 i... -
Violife cheese

It says that is is gluten-free on their site, so it should be safe for celiacs: https://www.violife.com/en-us/products/dairy-free-cheese-blocks/just-like-feta -
It appears to be naturally gluten-free, and I don't believe wheat could get into it where it is processed, but perhaps give them a call to see if they can give you more info? https://www.springhillfarmvt.com/products/6-75oz-maple-syrup-flask-amber Also, did you eat anything else that might have been contaminated?

Let us know how it goes, and what other clear liquids you found. Besides water with lemon juice I'm not sure there is much to add.

Increasing the fat content in meals can help individuals with celiac disease feel less hungry by providing longer-lasting satiety, since fats digest more slowly than carbohydrates and proteins. Fats take longer to digest compared to carbohydrates and proteins, which helps in maintaining a feeling of fullness for a longer period. Fats play a crucial...

Confusing test results
Scott Adams replied to maggiemaay's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome to the forum. Can you provide the reference range for your tTg test? Each lab has a different range so knowing more would be helpful. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the... -
Good experience at The Olive Garden
Scott Adams replied to Oldturdle's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
It is definitely safe to take GliadinX, the real question you seem to have is, does it actually work? I can only say that it has worked for me and my family that have celiac disease and/or DH, and we've been taking them before we eat out now for years. Before we took them I would estimate that we had issues with probable cross-contamination ~25-33% of the... -
The Gluten Intolerance Group, who runs the GFCO certification, has also endorsed McDonald's French fries, if made in dedicated fryers (which is currently standard), as safe for those with celiac disease, so I am not taking any radical stance on this. They've tested them and detected zero gluten. My daughter, who has DH and is very sensitive--she gets a DH...

You may want to have a restaurant card like this with you just in case: -
FYI: We just added a new section to this article called "Every Romer AgraQuant® Gluten G12 ELISA Test Kit Includes Fish Gelatin to Prevent Non-Specific Binding." Note that the test kits used by HRI do include fish gelatin, which is used to prevent non-specific binding, so clearly the lab used the protein agent as directed by the test.
-
As I've already mentioned, since they didn't actually test the same batch the posts by GFWD sow confusion, which may lead some people to believe that the bagels and other products that were found to be higher in gluten than allowed are actually safe. This seems to run counter to their mission, at least from my perspective.

Scott Adams replied to Oldturdle's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Under the FDA's gluten-free labeling rule, a food labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. This applies to packaged foods and also extends to restaurants that make gluten-free claims on their menus. However, enforcement can be more challenging in restaurants due to the complexities of food preparation and the potential... -
Perdue Foods LLC, in conjunction with the USDA, has voluntarily recalled 167,171 pounds of frozen breaded chicken breast tenders and nuggets after a foreign material was identified in a limited number of consumer packages. The recall is isolated to the following products: PERDUE® SIMPLY SMART® ORGANIC Gluten Free Breaded Chicken Breast Nuggets s...

GFWD tested a different batch! They did not run any tests on the batch which tested positive. So what could their posts possibly mean for anyone who might have bagels from the contaminated batch in their freezer or refrigerator? So according to you their article is telling celiacs to go ahead and eat them, is that right?

The first one looks ok, but the 2nd one contais sodium Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate. This ingredient is a modified starch. While it's often derived from corn or potatoes, it's worth confirming that it is not sourced from wheat in case you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. https://www.cerave.com/skincare/cleansers/soothing-body-wash https...

You haven't answered what GFWD's position is--should celiacs eat Trader Joe's bagels from that lot number if they have some in their refrigerator? What do the posts by GFWD say about this? What is their position? We are not making "personal attacks" or "fear mongering" here. Do you realize that a fully accredited lab has tested nearly 300 ppm of gluten in...
