Re: Long Silvers French Fries

I don't know for sure, but I think that the coating on

LJS fries has wheat in it. Even if it doesn't, I'm

sure that the fries are cooked in the same oil as the

hush puppies, which definitely contain wheat.

I have a 96 year-old great-grandmother in a nursing

home, and some family member had to open their mouth

and tell her about 's allergies. Now she's

worrying constantly, afraid that there's nothing he

can eat. It's really hard for older people to

understand. Especially when they have their mind set

that wheat is the only grain that can be cooked with.

So, I understand your frustrations with your

grandmother. We don't go to many family dinners

anymore, because it's not worth it to have everyone

making a fuss over it and drawing so much attention to

his allergies, not to mention the people that will try

to sneak him food out of ignorance.

Even my mother had been really skeptical about his

allergies and had thought that it was just a doctor's

ploy to get more money out of us for testing. My

husband and I went away for a weekend a couple weeks

ago, and left the kids with my parents. Thank God he

had two reactions while we were gone! I know it

sounds strange to say that, but now she sees that his

allergies are real and she's a lot more supportive

now. He started reacting to macadamia nut butter and

she has one of those spandex swimsuits with floatation

devices inside it for him to swim in, and he broke out

in a rash everywhere that it touched him. So we're

assuming a latex allergy??

Anyway, hang tough and realize that some people will

just never understand.
