Potatoes have no gluten, to my knowledge, but I am not an expert, by any means. I know that rice cakes with PEANUT BUTTER were my daughters favorite snack! You can find more info at my link above...

Of course you are wrong, if she acts responsible how on earth will she be able to sue.

I'm curious. Why would your sister avoid potatoes? Potatoes don't contain gluten. Actually, potato flour is used as a substitute for wheat flour in a gluten-free diet.

Furthermore, why would a parent of a gluten-intolerant child ask McDonald's if their fries contain gluten? Certainly they're in a position to know exactly which foods to avoid and which are safe. And potato fries are safe.

Unless, of course, they read about the cooking oil controversy BEFORE visiting McDonald's. Which means they knew about it ahead of time and intentionally made their own 5-year-old child sick in order to play the legal lotto game.

Yes you are wrong. There is nothing that creates a problem for us with potatoes.

The problem is that in this country everything must, for some reason, have wheat added to it. Read the labels on soup cans some time, for an example.
