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.

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

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.
