Doritos

Hi,

I understand the whole FritoLay thing...possible contamination since not all products made on equipment are gluten-free.....lays potato chips, wavy lays, fritos, cheetos, lays stacks are all gluten-free............and I thought that Doritos weren't.

Then, on another thread (I don't remember which or where), I think it was Jessica who said something about a certain kind being the only kind of dorito that wasn't gluten-free. Now I'm confused: are Doritos gluten-free? I haven't checked the site, yet.......I could probably find the answer there, but thought I might be able to get the info. from somebody here.

Thanks,

celiac3270

Is that for the US, or another country? Every bag of Doritos my kids buy lists wheat flour on the label. It is part of the coating.

As far as I'm aware, I think it's only the Nacho Cheese flavor (the original dorito) that has wheat flour in it. At least that's the only one not on their list of "gluten-free" chips.

FritoLay also lists "milk" on the label if that flavor has milk, so it is easier for those of us on gluten/dairy free diets. :D I have not had a problem with cross-contamination with the chips.

God bless,

The US, I think...

That's what threw me off! My brother (non-celiac) sometimes eats the original Doritos and that's the only kind I ever ate. I recall looking at the label, seeing wheat, or something, and coming to the conclusion that ALL Doritos weren't gluten-free. Then, I think I read the bag of the "Cooler Ranch", saw they were gluten-free, and doubted that I read the labels correctly: since one kind wasn't gluten-free, I assumed the others couldn't be.

FritoLay also lists "milk" on the label if that flavor has milk, so it is easier for those of us on gluten/dairy free diets.  I have not had a problem with cross-contamination with the chips.

That's good to know...to my knowledge I am not lactose intolerant, but I've maintained a "dairy limited" diet. I haven't had any problems with cross-contamination, either, but others have mentioned it, and FritoLays warns you on the web (see below the list of gluten-free products) that the products are produced on the same equipment, even though the lines are washed between batches.

Hi,

The brand of Nacho cheeze Doritos that the person was talking about is the newly released "Rolitos" (sp) which are the same as a Dorito except the chip is rolled up. Rolitos do not contain gluten as an ingredient but fall under all Frito-Lay's "gluten-free chips" as being dangerous because their products (as well as most other manufacturers') are not made on dedicated lines, and thus cross-contamination from Gluten containing products previously run is a possibilty. Though Frito-Lay claims that all lines are washed thoroughly between runs.

They are quite tasty and I am not sure why they do not contain gluten as an ingredient when regular Nacho Cheese Doritos do. I eat them (Rolitos) when I am on my less restricted diet plans.

Hope this clears up the confusion.

Strange...I haven't seen those....if it really is that easy to elimiate gluten from it, why doesn't FritoLays make the regular Doritos Nacho Cheesier gluten-free....manufactureres.. :rolleyes:

I was shopping yesterday and saw in the "natural" foods section of my supermarket a "Natural" line of Doritos, and one is a white nacho cheese and it didn't list any gluten containing ingredients! I'm calling them today, but I was psyched!!

I am really, really, really, glad to see that Cheetos are gluten-free.

I have been eating them almost daily. Some of the medication I take can make me a little sick to my stomach. I have found that Cheetos help to remedy this. So, it was just a day or two ago, whenever I found the Safe/Forbidden lists here that I verified that

Cheetos are gluten-free.

I was also wondering, since the BAD list is much shorter than the Good list, (thankfully!) what is the best approach for learing what on ingredient lables is okay or not? I have pasted the lists here into Word Documnets, and have loaded them into my Palm Pilot, but, it seems that I will eventually learn what's good and what's not. What approach works for you?

Thanks!

My friend had Doritos at her apartment and I went to go have some, but then decided to take a look at the ingredients, and it listed that Wheat Flour was in there. I can't remember the exact kind of Dorito it was; the bag was a greenish color...I'll just have to go look at it sometime and see. I've never been the biggest Doritos fan, so I'm not sure if the labeling is the same on other bags of Doritos. I'll have to keep a look out for that when I go grocery shopping

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Hi all, just wanted to post an update.  I have been gluten free for about 1.5 months now and seeing improvement already in the bathroom.  Recently I had a visit with another GI doctor for a 2nd opinion. He said that while my blood tests and scope are not a "slam dunk" for celiac, he believes it's more likely than not that I have it. His advice was to stay with a celiac-level gluten free diet (no CC) for 6-12 months then retest to make sure TTG-IGA is still negative. He also said that my CRP should return to a normal level at this time if the culprit was inflammation in the small intestine due to celiac.  Today I had a follow up with the original GI that performed the scope. She is confident it is NCGS and says I can still have gluten sometimes. When I asked about the visible duodenum damage, she said it is just "irritation" from gluten because the biopsies were negative. She also said that my positive EMA isn't valuable because it has "a high false positive rate."  I guess I'm having trouble reconciling the totally different advice from these 2 GI's. I want to believe the new doctor more at this point because what he said just makes more sense to me, and he gave an actionable timeline for possible next steps. Feeling lost and disappointed at this point and wanted to write it down here in case anyone has input. Thank you.

      Help!

      @junell, Can you get a DNA test to look for genes for Celiac Disease?   Have you had your thyroid checked? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Being on a restricted diet for so long and especially now since you are having symptoms can cause malabsorption resulting in vitamin deficiencies.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      I strongly agree with others about processed gluten free foods, like breads and pasta, being bad for us. Read the labels, full of this starch and that starch, seed oils that are inflammatory, etc. Before you were celiac, you probably wouldn't even touch something with those ingredients. I do much better with whole foods, meat, veggies, a little fruit. I made 90% myself, make extra and freeze it for future meals. Cutting out processed gluten free food and eating mostly real whoke food helped me feel much better. And definitely benfotiamine!

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please be sure to try Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride.  The form Thiamine Mononitrate is not absorbed nor utilized well.  Benfotiamine is much more bioavailable.  Perhaps Thiamine Mononitrate was in your previous B Complex supplements, explaining why they didn't work for you.   All the B vitamins work together.  Thiamine needs the other B vitamins to make enzymes and ATP, so you will need to take them.  Taking them in individual supplements is fine.  I've done the same.  Just remember you need all eight.   Let me know how it's going for you!
