DS has had a reaction to something I ate and I believe I have narrowed it to some food from Sonic. I had a grilled chicken wrap only meat, lettuce and tortilla. I also had an order of medium fries. I know Mc Donald's fries have a milk coating,but Sonic doesn't show on the website that their fries contain milk allergens. Anyone else had milk issues with Sonic?

Re: Fast food and milk allergies
fyi I don't think you are correct about McDonalds fries having a milk coating. My DD has a severe milk allergy and has never had any problem with McD fries. I, of course, specifically checked that they don't contain milk.
Correction: So I just went and re-looked up McDonalds fries ingredients and omg they do contain milk! I can't believe it - She's been eating them for probably 2 years, never with a reaction. They don't have a "milk coating," but they do contain "natural beef flavor which contains hydrolyzed milk as a starting ingredient". I'm wondering if she has never reacted because it is hydrolyzed? Either way, I'm going to start avoiding them until we talk to her allergist. Thanks!
My DS is allergic to milk as well (previous anaphylaxis event) and he does fine with McD's french fries. It's the only fast food place we go to and has saved us a few times when we were traveling. I'm not sure why he doesn't react to the hydrolyzed milk but I am so thankful he doesn't!
My twins are 5! My baby is 3!
DS#2 - Allergic to Cashew, Pistachio, Kiwi
DS#3 - Allergic to Milk, Egg, Peanut, Tree Nuts and Sesame
I never trust a fast food place. Even if the food you order is "safe", there's so much risk for cross contamination.
For the fries- maybe because it's cooked at such a high temp it changes it? That's crazy and awesome that the kids can have those.
