Wow, you typed that all out? Thanks for the work. Though I don't think they can claim to be gluten free when they have this little item.

*the above products do not contain gluten; however, they are produced on the same line as our products that do contain gluten. Althought the lines are washed between batches, a slight residue may remain on the lines. Individuals who are extremely sensitive may be affected.

So doesn't that mean these products might be safe, but may not, so it's a risk?

I'm still kinda new to avioding gluten, so I could be wrong. But wanted to ask about that.

Any time you eat a processed food you are taking a risk pretty much. They are being upfront and warning you that there is a chance of cross-contamination. I personally haven't had trouble with them. I am pretty sensitive.

i think i lot of places stick a disclaimer in there just so they don't get sued or something. i eat ruffles without a problem except for the WOW but i don't know if that's the olean or whatever it's called or gluten, either way probably not good for people with stomach problems!

Okay, thanks you two. =)

Though making life harder for me, I need to aviod casien too.. and since they do make products with cheese, think that increases my risk there too. Figure that's on the same lines as well.

So guess for now, I'll stick to home made potato chips! lol

Thanks a lot Jessica :D

i was diagnosed with celiac disease a few weeks ago and was wondering, if the potato chips from Lay's contain gluten. So i read the label, because i didn't know and thought that only the Lay's classic potato chips were gluten free. I didn't know. Cool! Now i can eat more.

But can somebody help me with this problem? First i started to eat from a big bag of Lay's classic potato chips for a few days (everyday a few hands full). And i never had problems. Now two days ago my husband ate from the same bag. And after that i ate from this bag again and my stomache made strange noise. Could it be, that he ate something with gluten before, then he ate from this chips and whatever he ate before was sticking to the chips now? Well, i don't know. Could anybody help me with that?

Try asking him?

If he had just ate or grabbed something else that would get gluten on his hands, and then put his hand in the bag of chips, then I think that could contaminate the bag.

Least that makes sense to me.

He could have contaminated it but I'll have top tell you that I see more complaints about contaminated Lay's products than with most companies. You'll get one bag that's OK and another that isn't. In Lay's case, I don't think their warning is just CYA. As is the case with cereal, the nature of the product makes it harder to clean lines completely.

I buy the UTZ individual bags, that way I don't have to worry about him eating his sandwich and reaching in the potato chip bag! UTZ has a whole page on their website dedicated to Celiac disease and I've never had any problem with their chips. Another one that is good is Cape Cod. They will appear on almost all the gluten-free lists. :)

Joemoe's post - and other posts that have noted the same thing in the past - made me curious to investigate this. The fact is, Frito-Lay specifically lists virtually, if not all, of their Doritos flavors and being gluten-free. And I've never seen wheat flour on the label of a bag of Doritos (though, the only time I look is if I'm at the store and this sort of thread pops up in my mind ;-) ). So where are the claims of wheat flour in the ingredients coming from?

One possibility is Walkers Crisps... they make a corn chip also called Doritos, and their Tangy Cheese flavor specifically lists wheat flour as an ingredient. (Open Original Shared Link

I wonder if this is a country specific thing?

Only the Nacho cheese flavored Doritos(in the red bag) contain wheat flour. Hope that clears it up.

for what it's worth, i don't consider myself to be too sensitive to gluten yet i have definitely gotten sick off of gluten-free lays chips, it took me a long time to make the connection but i'm pretty positive that's what it was a bunch of times. so even though it's labled gluten free this is one of the few commercial products i avoid now because of cross contamination issues

and walker crisps i've only seen in europe, i'm not sure if they are available in the states

I am, unfortunately, sensitive ~ Lays products make me VERY sick. I would love it if they were gluten-free and free from contamination ~ I LOVE their puffy cheese curls!!! ~ but the fact is that they must get cross contamination. Sorry!!!

Lay's does indeed seem to have a problem with contamination of some products. Recently I read, however, that Lay's says the regular potato chips, Ruffles, Fritos and the Stax chips are made on dedicated lines. Obviously I cannot guarantee there's no contamination even in them, but thought I would pass this along.

If you like cheese puffs, Pirate's Booty is a great alternative. They are gluten-free and I've been eating them with great enjoyment. I believe their Fruity Booty and Veggie Booty are also gluten-free.

      I haven't been on this forum for a long time, but it was absolutely wonderful during the diagnostic process!  My path for celiac disease diagnosis was the following: -Had normal IgA level, and my only serology positive test was the DGP IgG -Deficiencies in both Vitamins D and K that did not increase at first despite massive supplementation -Diagnosis of fat malabsorption both total and neutral -Diagnosis of severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) -Testing was completed to rule out causes of EPI, and the only one not ruled out was celiac. -Both traditional endoscopy and pill capsule endoscopy yielded negative results for biopsy confirmation, but my GI doctor said that both procedures simply could have missed the damaged spots. -EPI and fat malabsorption resolved after taking Creon for 6 months since my EPI was caused by celiac -23 and Me said I don't have either of the two prominent genes for celiac disease   Remember that you might not have 'textbook' symptoms, but you still may have celiac disease.   Also, I am SO incredibly grateful for this site for all the learning it has allowed me to do. I have a senior dog, and these last few weeks with her were very scary! After two hospital stays, she finally received an IBD diagnosis after having gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. I know that celiac disease is not IBD, however, through reading this site, I learned more about it. I was relieved when I found out she had IBD and not cancer this past Wednesday. I know IBD can be managed thanks to what I've learned here!  So celiac.com, not only did you help me, but you helped my pup too! Thank you ❤️

      It was tTG IGG that was flagged high. I'm not sure about the other stuff. I'm still eating my normal stuff.

      Thank you for your post, @Nedast, and welcome to the forum. It is interesting to read of your experiences. Although I've not had TMJ, from time to time I have had a bit of mild pain in my jaw, sharp stabbing pains and tingling in my face which appears to have been caused by issues with my trigeminal nerve.  I read that sometimes a damaged trigeminal nerve in coeliacs can heal after adopting a gluten free diet.  I try to keep out of cold winds or wear a scarf over my face when it is cold and windy, those conditions tend to be my 'trigger' but I do think that staying clear of gluten has helped.  Also, sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck is a tip I picked up online, again, that seems to bring benefits. Thank you again for your input - living with this sort of pain can be very hard, so it is good to be able to share advice.

      I made an account just to reply to this topic. My story resembles yours in so many ways that it is truly amazing. I also suddenly became lactose intolerant, went a little under 10 years attributing all my symtoms to different body parts, never thinking it was something systemic until much later. I had the same mental problems - anxiety, depression, fatigue, etc. In fact, the only real difference in our story is that I was never formally diagnosed. When I discovered that my myriad symtoms, that had been continuous and worsening for years, all rapidly subsided upon cessation of consuming gluten, I immediately took it upon myself to cut gluten out of my diet completely. I live in America, and had lost my health insurance within the year prior to my discovery, so I could not get tested, and I will never willingly or knowingly consume gluten again, which I would have to do in order to get tested now that I have insurance again. But that is not the point of this reply. I also had extreme TMJ pain that began within months of getting my wisdom teeth out at - you guessed it - 17 years old. I was in and out of doctors for my various symptoms for about 5 years before I gave up, but during that time I had also kept getting reffered to different kinds of doctors that had their own, different solutions to my TMJ issue, an issue which I only recently discovered was related to my other symptoms. I began with physical therapy, and the physical therapist eventually broke down at me after many months, raising her voice at me and saying that there was nothing she could do for me. After that saga, I saw a plastic surgeon at the request of my GP, who he knew personally. This palstic surgeon began using botox injections to stop my spasming jaw muscles, and he managed to get it covered by my insurace in 2011, which was harder to do back then. This helped the pain tremendously, but did not solve the underlying problem, and I had to get repeat injections every three months. After a couple of years, this began to lose effectiveness, and I needed treatments more often than my insurance would cover. The surgeon did a scan on the joint and saw slight damage to the tissues. He then got approved by insurance to do a small surgery on the massseter (jaw) muscle - making an incision, and then splicing tissue into the muscle to stop the spasming. It worked amazingly, but about three months later it had stopped working. I was on the verge of seeing the top oral surgeon in our city, but instead of operating on me, he referred me to a unique group of dentists who focus on the TMJ and its biomechanical relationship to teeth occlusion (i.e. how the teeth fit together). This is what your dentist did, and what he did to you was boderline if not outright malpractice. There is a dental field that specializes in doing this kind of dental work, and it takes many years of extra schooling (and a lot of money invested into education) to be able to modify teeth occusion in this manner. Just based on the way you describe your dentist doing this, I can tell he was not qualified to do this to you. Dentists who are qualified and engage in this practice take many measurments of your head, mouth, teeth, etc., they take laboratory molds of your teeth, and they then make a complete, life-size model of your skull and teeth to help them guide their work on you. They then have a lab construct, and give you what is called a "bite splint." It looks and feels like a retainer, but its function is entirely different. This is essentially a literal splint for the TMJ that situates on the teeth. The splint is progressively modified once or twice per week, over several months, in order to slowly move the joint to its correct position. The muscles spasm less, stress is taken off the joint, as the joint slowly moves back into its proper position. The pain reduces each month, each week, sometimes even each day you go in for a visit. The joint has to be moved in this manner with the splint BEFORE the modification to the teeth begins. They then add to your tooth structure with small bits of composite, to keep the joint in its proper place after it has been sucessfully repositioned. Subtracting from your teeth, by grinding down bits of your natural tooth structure, is done very conservatively, if they have to do it at all. This process worked for me - after six months, my face, jaw, neck all felt normal, and I had no more pain - a feeling I had not had in a long time. It also made my face look better. I had not realized the true extent that the spasming muscles and the joint derangement had effected the shape of my face. The pain began to return after a few months, but nowhere near where it had been before. This immense reduction in pain lasted for a little over two years. The treatment still ultimately failed, but it is not their fault, and it is still the treatment that has given me the most relief to this day. Later on, I even went about three years with very, very good pain reduction, before the joint severely destabilized again. This field of dentistry is the last line treatment for TMJ issues before oral surgery on the TMJ. There aren't as many denists around who practice this anymore, and the practice is currently shrinking due to dentists opting for less espensive, additional educations in things like professional whitening, which have a broader marketability. Getting this treatment is also very expensive if not covered by insurance (in America at least). My first time was covered by insurance, second time was not, though the dentist took pity on me due to the nature of my case and charged like a quarter of usual pricing. Most cases seen by these dentists are complete successes, and the patient never has to come back again. But occasionally they get a case that is not a success, and I was one of those cases. A little over a year ago, I began seeing the second dentist who keeps my TMJ stable in this manner. The first dentist retired, and then died sadly. A shame too, because he was a truly amazing, knowledgable guy who really wanted to help people. The new dentist began to get suspicious when my joint failed to stay stable after I was finished with the bite splint and his modifications, so he did another scan on me. This is ten years after the first scan (remember, I said the surgeon saw "slight" damage to the tissue on the first scan). This new scan revealed that I now no longer have cartilage in the joint, on both sides - complete degeneration of the soft tissues and some damage to the bone. The dentist sat me down and had a talk with me after these results came in, and said that when he sees damage like this in cases like mine, that the damage to the joint is most likely autoimmune, and that, in his experinece, it is usually autoimmune. He has sent patients with cases like mine to Mayo Clinic. He said he will continue to see me as long as the treatment continues to offer me relief, but also said that I will probably have to see a dentist for this type of treatment for the rest of my life. He is not currently recommending surgery due to my young age and the fact that the treatment he provides manages my symptoms pretty well. I still see this dentist today, and probably will see this kind of dental specialist for the rest of my life, since they have helped with this issue the most. I did not inform him that I am 100% sure that I have celiac disease (due to my complete symptom remission upon gluten cessation). I didn't inform him because I thought it would be inappropriate due to not having a formal diagnosis. I was disappointed, because I had believed I had caught it BEFORE it had done permanent damage to my body. I had never suspected that my TMJ issues may be related to my other symptoms, and that the damage would end up complete and permanent. Luckily, I caught it about 6 months after my other joints started hurting, and they stopped hurting right after I went gluten free, and haven't hurt since. I of course did the necessary research after the results of the second scan, and found out that the TMJ is the most commonly involved joint in autoimmune disease of the intestines, and if mutliple joints are effected, it is usually the first one effected. This makes complete sense, since the TMJ is the most closely related joint to the intestines, and literally controls the opening that allows food passage into your intestines. I am here to tell you, that if anyone says there is no potential relationship between TMJ issues and celiac disease, they are absolutely wrong. Just google TMJ and Celiac disease, and read the scientific articles you find. Research on issues regarding the TMJ is relatively sparse, but you will find the association you're looking for validated.
