Big D Blog: Gluten Free Fast Food

Posted by: Hanna Nelson

Lately people have been talking about the effects of gluten in their diet and going “gluten-free.” I started eating gluten free about 2 years ago when I found out I had a mild case of celiacs disease, a digestive disease caused by a gluten irritation.

When I go out to dinner it’s sometimes hard to find food that is gluten free, especially when eating fast food. However, last week I was delighted to see that many fast food joints are advertising their gluten free options!

Dairy Queen has an extensive gluten free menu, it even includes brownies! Their website details toppings, ice creams, and treats that are gluten free.

Chick-fil-A gluten free menu includes entrees, sauces, sides, and breakfasts. The menu is not an addition to the regular menu, but I’ve found that if you ask they will give you pieces they know haven’t touched anything with gluten.

And of course at any fast food restaurant french fries are a great choice, they’re my favorite!
