fast food french fries
Carrie don't use any fries from anyplace that the manager hasn't confirmed they had a dedicated fryer and nonfloured fries. Talk to each manager yourself. Let him or her know why you need to know. Every manager has heard horror stories about a child that died because a fry cook took a pickle off a burger instead of making another, I know I worked a couple of McDonald's back in the day. Ask everytime you go in. Mc Donalds is suppose to be GFCF on their fries, but don't trust them unless you know for sure. I have good luck will small resturants that will heat some oil in a small pot and slice up a potato and make fries just for Connor, also they will cook a plain chicken breast or even boil pasta I bring. Of course any place will let you bring in food for an allergic child. I haven't had one complaint, although I do go out of my way to explain why I am bringing my own Kid's Meal for Connor, we always order plenty of drink and food for the other people in our party, so they still are making a profit.

Carrie take it from Angela and myself: DO NOT TAKE ANYONE'S WORD. Ask the manager yourself. Even then I question it. Have you ever been in a fast food joint when breakfest ends and lunch begins, ITS BUSY. These people are getting paid minimum wage (and this is not meant to offend anyone) but do you really think their going to drain the oil if the store is busy. I'm not sure about that. We have been on the diet for well over a year now and it kills me to pass a Micky D's cause my son loves fries so much. We have contacted Heniz, who is the manufacture of ORE IDA potato products. According to them there is a large product base that they produce that are safe for our kids. I do not have the list here with me at work, I promise to post the items asap. Again always question foods. A little bit of something bad will cause major set backs. I'm not trying to preach but just trying to help you avoid problems. But most of all help your child. I speak for everyone, your not alone in this battle. Sal Loving father to Justin
