Utz Baked Tortilla Chips Gluten Free?

Recommended Posts

I have been relying on the utz baked tortilla chips as a snack lately even though it is not certified gluten free. I unfortunately do not get any symptoms when I get glutened but have generally not gotten much better since i started my gluten-free diet a few months ago. I am trying to take a second look at everything I am eating even though I mostly eat fresh unprocessed foods. Has anyone had problems with their products? Please help!

Some people do (like me), but we are the more sensitive ones.  You say that you don't get symptoms, but you also say that you haven't gotten better.  Maybe you do get symptoms and you just need to learn to recognize them?  Try keeping a food symptom journal and look at all possible symptoms and not just the obvious diarrhea.  Mine include blurred vision, joint pain, anxiety, depression, irritability, fatigue etc.  Maybe you will be able to make some food/symptom connections and that will help you to find a diet that works for you.

Thank you. That means they are off my table for now. I do not notice any stomach issues when I accidentally get cross contaminated but might be too early to tell (only been a few months on the gluten free diet). My symptoms were mostly body pain and neuropathy type and those are just not getting better unfortunately.

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
