Fast Food

[lnseagraves]

Hey,

I know all of us can lead crazy/ hectic lives, and its sometimes impossible to make dinner, ourselves from time or travel or whatever. I was wondering if we could start a post of our favorite fast food options for those of us who CAN tolerate food from McDonalds, Hardees, KFC or whatever...

Mine are:

McDonalds: Nuggets with honey to dip
Bacon Ranch Salad
Most items from breakfast menu
Vanilla Shake
Vanilla Ice Cream
Cookies

Arby's: Most of the roast beef sandwichs. The "Cheddar" sauce is really tame. I don't add any sauce

Quiznos: New Roastbeef, garlic sub

Any other ideas out there??

I always did really well with Burger King burgers with just cheese and lettuce on them and a side salad with Ranch, that I'd dip my fork into to get the flavor, lol!! I also was great with vanilla milkshakes too!

I do well with sub sandwhiches...turkey and roast beef. I can eat mayo and most cheeses so that is what I have on them.

[GayleK]

Thanks for your list! It was good to hear about that Quiznos garlic roast beef sandwich I saw it in an ad and was wondering if I could maybe eat it.

I can eat:
Wendys plain hamburger and fries
Red Lobster shrimp scampi and fried shrimp.
McDonalds plain hamburger and fries
Arbys Roast beef and fries
Cheesecake factory filet and fries

I LOVE Burger King and can handle that pretty well.

I can also manage to eat Wendy's, McDonalds, Taco Bell. My newest favorite thing is the Wendy's Frosty (like soft serve frozen hot coco/soft serve ice cream in a cup). My mom jokes that I will give myself a hernia trying to suck it through the straw (it's very thick and not easily suckable).

MerryBerryMoose,

I love taco bell, but I'm intrigued at what you can eat. I try it when I'm not flaring and haven't flared in months, but even then I worry about flares. What do you eat at taco bell?

Thanks!

I also can do KFC or boston market pretty well... forgot to list those earlier.

I like Burgar king cheese burgars with lettuce no mayo..I also can eat fries with no salt.. And I love my vanilla shakes...I can also eat some subway sandwhiches...

I don't seem to have a problem with mayo so I usually get the crispy chicken sandwichs w/o tomato at either Burger King or McDonald's. It kills me to get a burger from a place like that w/o ketcup and tomato and all that yummy stuff.

I'm bad I take my chances when I go eat at fast food restraunts.. Just ate a big mac, and know what will be heading my way soon..

I hardly ever go to fast food restaurants anymore, but I usually do the crispy chicken sandwiches at Burger King -- the "old school" one on the long oval shaped bun. It comes with mayo and lettuce only, at least the places I've lived, and I can eat both of those. I also like the chicken tenders there (I get the sweet 'n sour sauce but only put like a drop on each one... LOL).

At McDonald's, I usually just get the Quarter Pounder with no cheese... I hate American cheese so IC is not the reason for that one (I can eat all cheeses). I figure if I'm in there I'm cheating anyway.... I just take some Prelief with it and it seems to counteract the ketchup and mustard that's on there.

You guys are lucky that you can eat Ranch dressing. I can't... it almost always has MSG (monosodium glutamate) in it, and that is an insta-flare for me, Prelief or no Prelief. It can also trigger a whopping migraine for me... so even though I love Ranch I can't have it

[leelee88]

Hey Jen....
I cant have anything with msg in it either..
Heres what I do that kind of taste like ranch, I mix garlic salt (Lawrys) has no MSG, And Mrs dash in with mayonaise.. But just a little bit because it does have some citric acid in it, but no MSG. and a little bit of milk.. Its very tasty, but if you cant do a little of the Mrs Dash, then the garlic salt works good..

I miss in n out burger. I use to work there and eat there everyday for free, I also worked at, mcdonalds, wendys, little ceasars, taco bell, an other retail stores and restaurant like hungry hunter, whole foods, albertsons, home depot, Rings. Who would to think while I was working their I would one day not be able to eat those food again. I can't do any fastfood due to many allergies and intolerances. It's chicken soup everyday for me. This IC triggered something awful in my body or did my body trigger IC?

Fast Food I can eat:
Wendy's: baked potato & garden salad (I pick out the tomatoes) - I don't eat it there though, I take it home & put IC safe butter on the potato & Marie's lite creamy ranch dressing on the salad. There's a Wendy's on the way home from work & if I'm tired, I'll stop & pick these up to eat at home. No cooking=no dishes.
In&Out: plain hamburger, vanilla milkshake, fries
Subway: Turkey or Roast beef on whole wheat (lettuce, bell pepper, carrots only), milk, Lays Classic potato chips or Fritos original or oatmeal raisin cookie, or raisins.

That's it so far.

We don't do fast food very often, but do have pizza fairly often. I order it without red sauce. There are several kinds I can have. We sometimes eat at subway so I can order exactly what I want on a sandwich.

Vanilla milk shakes are my very favorite!!!!
