My hands were raw for about 4 days.. I had no idea Bath and Body works used gluten products. Now I do, and now I ask.. and most people have no idea that work there. It's frustrating.

I still feel bad about that and have become much more diligent about reading labels! :) My first rookie mistake was – the first week – buying Rice Krispies and Rice Krispie Treats for my husband thinking “Oh, these are just rice, they should be fine!” I still feel bad about that and have become much more diligent about reading labels! :)

However, Gluten Free in SD wrote them last year (04/07) and they did NOT list french fries as being safe. In their statement they mentioned that their french fries were not cooked in a dedicated fryer. http://www.glutenfreeinsd.com/red_robin.html Based on the discussion of Red Robin this seems to be different at each location. Gluten Free Steve LOVES Red Robin and has his take on Red Robin http://glutenfreesteve.wordpress.com/?s=red+robin. Apparently there are dedicated fryers at that location. I am not sure about the seasoning they put on the fries... You might ask Steve about it! Nicole- I do not go to Red Robin so I don’t have any personal experience dealing with that restaurant.

I was told their fries are shipped frozen with the Red Robin special seasoning already on the fries(which contains wheat) therefore the fries are not GF. I believe I read this on the Red Robin website or it's listed on their GF menu. Can someone clarify Red Robin French Fries for me…?

I swear I lost my babyweight last time with the squats. Anyway, it is harder to get to the gym these days, so we just ordered a power rack so I can do them at home. I have a long way to go this second go round, but it is exciting at the same time. I will go check out the website. :) Tamar- I just set up my home gym (it is my favorite room in the house now) and have really gotten into weightlifting.

Loved these silly mistakes! I have to admit....I LOVE CADBURY EGGS, too! I just ate one yesterday. My intestines are super sensitive to gluten and wheat and when I eat anything with gluten, my belly makes me look like I am nine months pregnant! That is serious stuff to me as I am a professional fitness model and a natural athlete! I have to see my abs at all times! LOL And that little cadbury egg did not hurt me. I do gamble with French Fries as well. They have never bothered me. When I go out to dinner, I usually just go Japanese and have SASHIMI ! I love it! I bring my wheat free soy sauce by Tamari brand and chow down! That is always a safe alternative to traditional restaurant fare. Anyway, have a great day and I love this website!!! My website is for health and fitness enthusiasts and I am trying to make this issue with gluten and wheat intolerance very public in the world of bodybuilding and fitness!!

It is possible that I have an additional allergy or my particular egg was cross-contaminated, but my hands and feet were COVERED in hives... No idea why.... Some people haven't had reactions, so I would just make your own judgement call. I believe that there are no gluten molecules passing through in the glucose syrup and all that, but something is making me react...maybe it is cross-contamination. Hmmmm....

I'm not sure I would believe claims about them being gluten free or whatever one person said. They've put wheat on the label because they legally have to. I wrote Cadbury's USA about this, asking why they changed the formula because they are no longer safe for Celiacs to eat. I got an apology but that was it. So.. there was NO commentary from Cadbury's USA that they are still gluten free- I'd say these are not safe. Luckily the milk chocolate mini- eggs still are...!!! (they're solid milk choc with candy coating). Jane Hi, I am also in mourning about the cream filled Cadbury’s eggs :-) )

The products have been tested and no gluten is in the final products. The Cadbury Creme Egg clarification re: its safety was just posted on the celiac listserv. And this month's issue of Gluten Free Living shared this same issue re: candy that showed glucose syrup derived from wheat and they said it was indeed gluten free. A similar thing happened with the McD fries. They were always fried in an oil derived from wheat, but they were tested after showed wheat in the ingredients (and everyone understandably freaked out) and the testing showed no gluten. Their formulation had never changed. So now McD just avoids the whole GF issue. And, of course, it's true that McD fries are supposed to be fried in dedicated fryers, but every now and then someone will post on the celiac listserv that they worked at McD and the fryers were sometimes used for other things; i.e., breaded things.
