Lunch Out-Wendy's

I went out to lunch for the first time since my diagnosis today with my best friend. She suggested just running to McDonald's, but I was leery of what to order there. I've heard mixed reviews on their fries and didn't really know what to order there. I had just read that Wendy's, however, has a bowl of chili that is gluten free.

We packed up the kids and headed to Wendy's. I bought the kids their usual chicken nuggets, cheese burger and fries while I got the chili. After I divided up the food I kept thinking how I had gluten all over my hands. I wiped them on a paper towel, but honestly don't think that really got it all off. Luckily, my lunch was to be eaten with a spoon. I also had a coke.

After lunch my stomach started hurting, but I really don't know if it was the gluten on my hands that got into my system, the full stomach or maybe even the carbonation from the coke that set it off. I went home and looked up gluten in coca-cola and found that the maker states that in the U.S., it is gluten free. I guess I'll be on the look out and try to see how it works out for me next time.
