Tostitos Baked Scoops- Anyone Had Trouble With These?

Not2sure

Recommended Posts

New to the gluten free arena. Been off gluten for 3 weeks now and have seen tremendous improvement with my symptoms, but this past weekend I had several things that I hadn't been eating that might have caused the symptoms to reappear. I had the baked Tostitos scoops and was wondering if they might be the culprit. The ingredients don't mention any wheat, but the bag also doesn't say gluten free. What do you think?

I am a type 1 diabetic and also had to treat a low blood sugar reaction with some sugar tabs. I later looked at the ingredients and it said that they contain dextrose, so is that the same as dextrin that's mentioned on the forbidden foods list?

Then if that wasn't enough I just read where sunscreen's might be the culprit as we were out on the boat on Sunday and I applied sunscreen to my body.

So which is it? Can anyone help with these questions?

Thanks a bunch! :)

If you google "lays gluten free" they list all the products and which have what including gluten in them. I don't believe they have dedicated facilities.

Dextrose and dextrin are different ingredients. Dextrose is a form of glucose (a sugar) and is gluten-free.

They definately don't have dedicated facilities except for the Lay's Stax. I am very sensitve to CC and some times I will be able to eat their gluten-free by ingredients items and other times they will make me sick. I avoid all but the plain potato chips now as for me they are not worth the risk.

I eat the corn tostitos rounds all the time without problem, and I'm usually pretty sensitive.

I was looking at some baked lays recently but they list 3 different oils they might contain, one of which is soy. So I can't eat them. But, just mentioning it since you should consider you might be reacting to something besides gluten, like soy.

That could be a possibility for the original poster. I do react to soy but the reaction is distinctly different from my reaction to gluten. I do react to CC on shared lines, not all do. Those that don't are lucky and I am a bit envious of them but my gluten reactions are very distinct and have a pattern that is obvious to me. I did for quite a while early on not know the difference and thought that some products that were giving a soy reaction was a gluten reaction. It took eliminating soy and then challenging to be able to tell the difference.

Hello everyone and thanks for your feedback. :) I have made sure that nothing I was eating contained soy, although I did notice the tostitos bag says soybean oil. I know soybeans themselves don't contain gluten, so I would have thought that the oil wouldn't either, so I thought it was safe. However, I am being tested for soy, egg, yeast and dairy as well. So, I'll know better once that tests come back.

Thanks for clarifying about dextrose. It's definitely a learning experience and you all have been very helpful! THANKS!

I have not introduced anything to my system that I felt was unsafe for the past 3 days and yet last night I had cramping and gurgling in my stomach and this morning I had the awful soft stool with oil again. Meaning that something I was ingesting wasn't agreeing with me still. So I thought about it this morning and the last 2 days I've eaten raw vegetables which included red, yellow and orange peppers and cherry tomatoes. I remembered that night shades(peppers, tomatoes and eggplant)are not always good for people, so I checked out the night shade allergy symptoms on line and figured that I needed to stay away from those as well.

I'll keep trying to figure this out, and with the help of all of you kind folks I'm sure it will all come together eventually.

Thanks again to all who have replied! :)

Soy doesn't contain gluten. The issue with soy is that some of us are intolerant to that also not that it contains gluten.

sometimes you have to be super careful with Baked products because they contain something that causes anal leakage.....seriously, it says it on the bag. So sometimes it might not be a gluten thing, it might just be an ohmygosh I ate too many thing. haha

I have never seen this on a bag of baked tostitos or Lays chips. What are you talking about? Can you give an actual example of the product and ingredients?

I could be wrong but I think the ingredient referred to is olestra. It is something that keeps your body from absorbing fat. It is not in the tostitos or Lays chips and is usually found in 'diet' food.

"Olestra sometimes causes underwear staining. That phenomenon may be caused most commonly by greasy, hard-to-wipe-off fecal matter, but occasionally also from anal leakage (leakage of liquid olestra through the anal sphincter)."

I just said that sometimes it is in Baked version of chips. Wasn't specifically talking about a brand...just something to be aware of!

Olestra is hard to digest. It is an oil type stuff used to fry. It is not used in baked chips that I have seen. It's in the low fat, lite type chips.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil. Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."

A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1
