Trader joe stocks a potato chip simply that is made with potato, olive oil and sea salt but is not stated as gluten-free.. Many chip bags state gluten free but this one does not.  Of interest, I raised the point of cross contamination to my gastro doc and he just waived it off said don't worry about it but being a newly diagnosed celiac {4 months} I am being cautious. So I would like to hear some opinions from fellow celiacs. I admit that I have already eaten one bag of these thinking they were gluten-free and had no reaction that I knew of.

I don’t know what sort of labeling TJs does for gluten free.  In general, if a company labels some products gluten free, then has a product not labeled gluten free, I would be very cautious with that product.

To be safe, it's always best to go for products with at least "gluten-free" on their label, or even better, certified gluten-free.

Thanks I am trying. Boulder is one chip co that states gluten-free on their bags of chips made with olive or avacado oil. Seems that they would no be quite as unhealthy to eat as those made with vegetable oil.

Cape Cod potato chips are gluten-free, according to the company. I've never had a problem with these.

      Anyone Here Sensitive To Fillers Such As Cellulose?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      How long ago were you diagnosed?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. I had a half dozen or more temporary intolerances until my gut finally healed, and after than I was able to add back most foods (except gluten of course).

      New diagnosis for 3 year old. Help!

      By Beverage · Posted

      The doc that diagnosed me emphasized that the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth all drain to the same place. He said, besides obviously not eating foods containing gluten, to eliminate flours from my world immediately. If gluten flour is used, it gets into the air, and would be breathed in through the nose, which drains down to the stomach. Also, if it gets into the air, it settles on everything, which would be very difficult to clean. So you are correct to be concerned about flour in the kitchen. Some people may argue this isn't necessary, but it was my doc's advice, which was 10 years ago. My step granddaughter was diagnosed with celiacs last year and she got the same advice at a post-diagnosis nutritionist consultation in Seattle.

      Cristina, it’s possible you may find other foods that also give you the same reaction. My advice: make a list and stay away from them.

      Funny you should mention this.  Three times in the past I've had a similar reaction to glutening when I eat broccoli. People have suggested I try it again to make sure it is the problem but I have three distinct memories of meals containing broccoli which caused chills, feeling sick and diarrhea within an hour or two of eating (and this was before I was diagnosed with coeliac disease).  Because I reacted in such a way, I have no intention of giving it another go!
