Anyone had this issue. I am beginning to reintroduce some things.  I know french fries are not on the list but its odd to me they make me very nautious.  Potatoes are not a problem and I ate a ton on whole 30 so maybe the oil?

Possibly... everyone is different so if that's the reaction you get from french fries then now you have that information in your arsenal to decide when or if they are ever worth it.  If you think it's the oil, reintro something you know you don't react to IN the oil... but if you're eating french fries from a restaurant or from a package from the store, it's quite likely they are coated with something to help make them crisp so that's what the reaction might be to

Yep, unfortunately, a lot of restaurants coat fries in a flour mixture to make them extra crispy. You'd need to check the allergen menu for that location to see if there's something other than potatoes in those fries. I've gotten really good at looking up restaurant allergen menus due to a severe dairy intolerance. They sneak that stuff in everything!

Another note on french fries - if you end up having issue with gluten, it's not just coating you have to look out for - any shared fryer will cause you problems. I have issues with fries or chips fried in the same fryer as chicken nuggets, for example. I can basically only eat fries at Red Robin (ask for the allergy fryer), Chick-fil-A (chicken is pressure cooked, fries are drop fried, entirely different machines), or Larkburger (I think that's Colorado only) since they don't make anything breaded. Basically, I don't eat fries much.
