what about CC? Any info? Layx Staxx has no dairy listed, but Carriefaith and I both react to it (comon diary intorences).

They're not made on dedicated lines--I am extremely sensitive and have never reacted to them and I eat them often. But, as we know, reactions are an individual thing. Good luck on your junk food quest :D

Yes--I've been dairy free for 2 years now, while only gluten-free for just under a year. I react to small amounts of dairy as well.

Awsome! errr not realy, you knwo what I mean :)

Do you react to Lays Stax?

jerseyangel Proficient

yea, I do. I don't know why--possibly the dairy CC? The Stax also have many ingredients, whereas the chips are only potato, oil and salt.

Well you , Carriefiath, and I react. We all share diary problems. So I bet its CC from the other flavors that share the line.

Works for me--I think we figured that one out :D

My dd likes the Glutino pretzels too! She also really likes plain air popped popcorn w/salt.

Haven't bought potato chips in a while, but she likes Tostitos too!

VydorScope Proficient

Lay's Natural Ruffles

Glutino pretzels

Tostitos

Anything else? I like the pretzles, but can only get them form Whole Foods and thats a hike and a half to get too...

I believe the Nana's cookies bars are Gluten-free Casein-free. They are good! And Michael Season's potato chips are good.

French fries! Oops, sorry. I know that's a sensitive subject. Not the McD's one of course :) Make them yourself, or get them frozen. I like Alexia - says gluten-free right on the package.

KETTLE

Felidae Enthusiast

Kinnikinnick cookies

Skittles

This is pretty sad, I can't think of any other junk foods. I react to Lays Staxx also, so I stopped eating them.

Becky6 Enthusiast

I know it is not near you but Whole foods carries the potato chips and Nana's bars. The Ener-g Snickerdoodles cookies are good too!

angel-jd1 Community Regular

Just a note on the alexia fries. Some of them DO contain dairy (I had oven baked reds with olive oil, garlic and parmasean cheese last night) Sooo you might be running the risk of CC with some of them. You would have to call the company to find out for sure.

I second the Enjoy Life Snickerdoodles! Also their Gingerbread Spice Cookies--yum :D

There's tons and tons of gluten-free/cf junk food you can get....cookies, cake, cinnamon rolls, donuts, candy... Ironically, you usually have to get it at the health food store, or order it online. There's not many options there at the regular grocery store (I don't think).

No wholefoods at all so they are not an option. :( But hanks!

      @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?

      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.
