Fast Food Checks
Use official nutrition tools to pick better options for digestive conditions.
Quick checks before ordering
- Review allergens and ingredient lists, not calories alone.
- Ask for sauces, onions, garlic-heavy dressings, and dairy on the side when needed.
- For celiac disease, ask directly about dedicated prep areas and fryer sharing.
- Prefer simpler builds: plain protein + tolerated starch + low-risk sides.
Common chain nutrition and allergen tools
Condition-aware ordering ideas
- IBS: choose lower onion/garlic options, avoid sugar alcohols, and test portions.
- Celiac disease: order certified gluten-free menu items and verify prep protocol every visit.
- Crohn's disease: during active symptoms, choose lower-fiber, less spicy, lower-fat options.
