Many times the frozen ones have wheat flour in them. Restaurant ones almost always do, except for the rare case in which they are home made.
Ore-Ida makes a few potato things that are gf, and hash browns just might be one of them. I've actually not checked those for my other "allergens" but there's a good possiblity that they'd be ok on those as well.
Btw, there are a few brands of hotdog meats that are gf, etc. Perhaps some of the others could tell you which are ok from regular stores.
I recently purchased an "All Natural, Uncured, 'The Premium Beef Frank'" from Wellshire Farms.
Label is marked GF,SF, DF, and P8 which I can't remember what is.
Explanations inside, but not going to open because sacker didn't put the meat right next to the ice, but put some other things I just wanted "cool" next to the ice -- dah! Anyway, when I got home, these just didn't feel cold enough, so I'm going to return them to WFs. They have a reasonable return policy, btw.
We had record heat that day -- last weekend. This was at the big chain healthfood store.
Ingredients listed on package:
Beef, water, salt, honey and natural spices.
40 percent less fat and 35 percent fewer calories
"Beef raised without antibiotics or growth promoting hormones"
Package weighs 16 oz and there are 8 "dawgs" to a package, so they're good sized ones.
I don't generally get much in the way of processed meats, but this brand has lots of things I like for quicker meals. I will trade the "uncool" package for one just like it that is "cool" when I return this one.
Wanted to make some dawgs that both Mom and I could eat. She just has the gluten issue where as I have several sensitivities, sooo..

Luce,
It's so wonderful for you to live close enough to a World Foods to shop there. No chance for me here or in Florida. The closest one is hours away in both places. I looked it up on their site.
Anyway, I'm happy for you
Love, Shirley

I am trying sooo hard to eat "right" and seem to be stumbling. I have eliminated the obvious - breading, known wheat, oats, barley, etc.
I no longer eat any kind of bread at this point, nothing with breading unless made myself.
I have increased the fruit juice, eating 3+ meals per day in smaller quantities, eat food that is "good" for me (i.e., fruit, veggies, home-cooked), bake or George Foreman my meat (or cook in olive oil).
I am finding that I feel better to some degree but am still aching, tired and YUK feeling this last week.
Is potato flour ok?
Is Whey ok to eat?
What can I use to make a "crunchy" coating on meat besides crushed nuts?
I don't mean to sound discouraged, I'm not! I think I just need to look for more "clues" and be more diligent in reading lables.

The Smart chart is easy to use, and it is exclusively on Wellshire Farms packaging. If the product does not contain any Soy it will read "SF", If it contains no Gluten it will read "GF", no Dairy "DF". The Protein "P8" amount represents the grams of protein (8) per serving.

Potato flour, etc.
Potato flour should be fine.
Whey contains the main dairy protein, casein, so if you're sensitive to casein as comes in milk, cheese, and even immitation cheeses, that would be out, but it's not gluten.
Marsha, didn't someone recently post a delicious sounding recipe for crunch on the old board in the diet room. Think that was in response to my lament about crunching up the nut thins to make fried chicken because I then remembered these thins have dairy. Waaah!
Anyway, at the moment, I can't remember whether that recipe included any nuts or not, but I'm going to see if I can get over there to retrieve that before it's erased by admin.
Oh, and long before I was dx gluten sensitive, I remember the lose weight diets suggesting a sort of mock fried chicken which was really baked, and for the crunch, crumbled up corn flakes were used. In this case, they'd need to be gf corn flakes, of course, and to be checked for whatever else you might react to.
Marsha, you do have a list of all the mystery words in ingredients lists that can/do mean gluten don't you?
Do you also suspect diary now?
If I were you, I'd try to make sure I wasn't getting any minute amounts of gluten by checking out all those strange sounding ingredients. Best to just find things that only list the bare bones ingredients, and of course, contact the companies if in doubt.
The celiac sites can really be helpful when you're trying to eliminate the minute stuff, but once you're fairly certain about that, then by all means, see how you do off of dairy if you've not already. Whey, of course, is one of the mystery words, as are any form of the word casein.
I need to post this somewhere, but the www.gfcfdiet.com site should be helpful even though it's really designed for parents, mostly for their autistic spectrum children.
I don't have it, but if you're interested in a products list, they have one for gf casein free products that comes as part of their membership materials, but last I checked there, they'd sell you one without the rest of the materials of the membership, and this would make it cheaper. That being said, I'm not a big fan of stocking up on too much stuff in the beginning because it gets mighty expensive when a new sensitivity comes along, and lots of it you can't use.
Did you ever find one of those magazines called "Living Without?" Both the gluten and dairy "mystery words" are in that magazine every issue. You could even subscribe to that publication by looking it up on the net. Think there's a link to it in the Houston Celiac Support Group site also.
Wow, I'm now sooo mixed up on where most people are in terms of their diets? Perhaps we should all put that info in the body of our posts whenever the subject is about food/intolerances. I'll have a hard time remembering to do that though.
Opps, almost signed off before realizing I'd only meant to insert something here. Hope it's not too out of order.
Psychologically, it's hard to remove dairy, but in a way, it's lots easier, in actuality, to remove it.
Once those two were removed, I really wasn't getting all that much baker's/brewer's yeast species, except perhaps that that occurs naturally on fruits and veggies, so that became a sort of non-issue in my case, but I guess if one ate too much of a fruit that had lots of this type of yeast, it could upset them..also, if they were more sensitive to it.
Think I'm one of the few here who has a sensitivity to egg whites, but since I didn't eat in any quantity except maybe once or twice a week, it wouldn't have been all that difficult for me to figure out by elimination if I'd had to. After that was gone, the soy was easy -- the only one that I've not confirmed by lab testing.
Yours, Luce
