Greetings!

I hope everyone is doing well.

I'm a hugh fan of A 1 steak sauce and and even hugher fan(actually a freak) for Doritoes. I have found gluten free corn chips and they are wonderful, but I do miss my salsa flavored doritoes and A1 for my steak when I have it. I found Mr. Spice, but I would really appreciate anyone who would have a recipe for something that tastes close to A1 or a recommended gluten free over the counter product.

As for the corn chips, I have a microwave chip maker and I do like it, I purchased it at Big lots and unfortunately it didn't have the recipe booklet with it. I've made plenty of plain corn toritilla chips-great and potatoe chips-great too, but now that I'm gluten-free would like to make my own flavored kind. Does anyone else have this? If so, do you have gluten free seasoning recipes? Please share if you do.

Have a great day!

Christine

Hi Christine,

I have 2 children with celiac and my husband is in the process of being diagnosed. I have been searching for snack foods for that my kids had previously enjoyed. There are several varities of doritos that are safe, but of course, please check the labels as ingredients can change: Dorito's 3D, Ranch mini, Jalapeno cheddar, nacho cheese, zesty ranch, 4 cheese, ranchero, salsa cerde. For the steak sauce, check the Shaw's steak sauce and also Lea & Perrins (800-987-4674). We use the Pace brand of salsa and the kids love it. I hope this helps.

Oh my goodness, this is wonderful news, however, I have heard that about the Doritos, WOOO HOOO. I was just afraid. I will read those lables. Have you tried the Doritos Naturals, again I know to read the lable, but wonder if they are better at being gluten free. I will check out the Shaws, I'm happy to see more.

Thank you for the great response.

Have a great and healthy day!

Christina,

Glad that I could help! :D I have not tried the Doritos Naturals. When I first started on the gluten free venture with our son, I felt extremely overwhelmed as I had no clue what to feed him and felt I had to purchase all food from the health food store, which of course can be extremely costly. It is great to find out items that are gluten-free that you can purchase at the grocery store. I'm still expanding my list as our daughter has just been diagnosed, plus she has a peanut allergy. My mom, who just retired, makes all of my baked goods, cookies, cakes, breads for me. She said she needed a hobby and she loves to bake. I told her she should open up a gluten-free bakery as her cakes are awesome! You can't even tell a difference. If you come up with more things you need ideas on, let me know. I think these message boards are a great source of assistance! Take care.

I eat the Dorito's Salsa Verde flavored chips and I have not had a reaction to them. Some of the seasoned chips have wheat or milk in the flavorings, but they will list them on the ingredients/allergen part of the label. It will say something like Contains Wheat or Contains Milk.

I have A-1 steak sauce as being gluten free on my lists. If it is not will somebody clarify why. I don't currently have any on my shelves so I can't read the label. I have some Lea & Perrin's steak sauce and it appears to be gluten-free.

God bless,

Mariann

Read those Doritos labels closely! The Nacho Cheesier and the Four Cheese Doritos that I have read all listed wheat flour towards the middle to the end of the ingredients label.

I've called A1 at least twice to clarify their gluten-free status, and both times they confirned they are gluten-free.

Thank you so much for the input! I have tried to get a hold of A1 with no luck. It doesn't appear there is gluten from the ingrediants listing. Thank you gillian502 for your hard work, I'm glad you got in touch with them. This is great!

Also I read the ingrediants and also found on the Frito-lay list that Doritoes baked Ranch Flavor is gluten free, however they do put that warning at the end of the list that their products are made on the same machines as wheat products, but they wash after each batch. To tell you the truth I did try those and did not have a reaction. But I will keep a close watch on that ingrediants list!

Thank you everyone.

Have a great day!

Christina

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
