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

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
