Tortilla/corn Chips?

Does anyone know of a truly gluten-free tortilla chip?  I've seen posts about how of course, most do not have gluten ingredients, but there's a real issue with cc.  Is there  a totally safe brand out there?  I'm about to embark on a gluten-free life and this is one product I'm really hoping I can find.

Thanks!

There are lots of gluten-free corn tortilla chips. Many even say gluten-free on the bag. I use Mission chips a lot. They don't make any chips but the corn ones.

This is the Frito Lays list for the US

From Mission chips website:

Are wheat flour tortillas produced in the same lines as corn products?

No, our corn production lines are dedicated to corn products only. Wheat Flour tortillas are produced in dedicated lines.

      Can anyone offer any advice/help please!

      Hi Sammy I was going out for a meeting when I wrote my last post, and wanted to add something to your second comment, but didn't want to rush the post in case it came out wrong. The push for a diagnosis tends to be because it is worth finding out for sure if one has coeliac disease or not if one has been experiencing gastric symptoms.  Coeliacs have to take their diet very seriously indeed - something that doesn't apply to someone without the condition, like my friend, for example, who has not got coeliac disease but occasionally feels bloated and tired when she eats wheat.  She occasionally consumes gluten if nothing else is available at a restaurant, something a coeliac mustn't do. Also, here in the UK,  it is worth noting that if someone is formally diagnosed with coeliac disease the NHS takes it very seriously and puts in place a lot of support: annual blood tests for dietary compliance and to rule out complications, such as other autoimmune conditions to which coeliacs can be prone;  annual reviews with a gastroenterologist, DEXA scans to check for bone density (coeliacs can suffer from osteoporosis); additional vaccinations where medically indicated and also, in some areas, prescription gluten free staples such as bread.   Although you have had some symptoms you may of course not have coeliac disease, but it would be good to be sure one way or another.  Should you decide to one day to reconsider testing, making sure enough gluten is consumed before the test is vital.  I hope that helps a bit, and I am sorry for any confusion caused.

      Neurologist says deficiencies are caused by some malabsorption

      By VioletM · Posted

      Hi, I'm writing here to help my boyfriend who is struggling with doctors and exams that didn't go anywhere.  Frustration led me to write symptoms and results from different exams to AI (since I saw the debate about AI as an assistant to diagnosis is wide open) and it said that celiac is the most probable cause of all his symptoms. But I need now opinions from actual people. However, he doesn't show evident GI symptoms, it happens that he feels nauseous and has some bloating but those could be correlated to his mental health. He is now almost 24 and first symptons showed up at 17 with persistent hand tremors, almost as he is always cold, even when that's not true. He is also irritable and has troubles focusing and with short-term memory (often forgets what he was going to say, doens't remember where henleft keys etc..). There are other symptoms that come and go. For several days (from 1 or 5) symptoms described earlier are much more pronounced. Tremors affect other body parts as teeth start chattering, he has spasms with his head and his arms some of them being directed to specific targets and mimic voluntary actions (like slapping the nearest person, punching a door and throwing things). Other symptoms occurring in these episodes are shouting as he is feeling pain and has troubles speaking. He did some tests thinking it could be Wilson disease due to ceruloplasmin being low, but both urinary and blood copper was low (it was supposed to be high for Wilson). Zinc is also low, excluding the possibility of excessive zinc intake being the cause of low copper. Other low values were folate and alkline phosphatasis. He was diagnosed with an abnormal bipolarism disorder, treated with valproate but it just limited the frequency of those acute episodes. I hope we find an answer soon

      But you have already had the genetic testing done and you have results. You have one main celiac gene out of two main celiac genes. You have  the HL-DQ8 gene. So, you do have the potential for developing celiac disease.

      oh wow that's so interesting! if I do re-scope, I will try to eat gluten more as well. when I do its super light. so maybe trying to keep that consistent for a while then the scope. plus i want to still do the genetic testing to rule it out. that would be so easy if that is negative then I for sure don't have it.

      Keep us posted about the scoping results. Make sure before the scoping you ask them to take several samples from both the duodenum and the duodenum bulb. Damage can be patchy and is sometimes missed if insufficient sampling is done during the biopsying.
