I ate a bunch of Lay's brand potato chips an hour ago and am starting to get symptomatic. They say they are gluten-free, but I know this isn't always a guaruntee that there isn't cross contaminiation. Anyone else have bad luck with Lay's brand chips?

Hi Sarah--I eat the Lay's Natural Ruffles and the Natural Thick Cut/Sea Salt. I eat them frequently, and have never had a problem.

I usually eat Lays Natural Ruffles, but occassionally Lays Natural Classic. I've never had a problem.

I eat Lay's Classic Potato Chips with no problems. I also eat the Stax chips from time to time. The Stax chips don't make me feel glutened, but they do give me indigestion.

Maybe it was something else I ate. :)

We eat the Lay's Sea Salt Natural chips too with no problems. These are the best potato chips ever created!

FYI,

There are MANY people who have a problem with Lays Potato Chips (*actually Frito Lay in general).

I know that Ruffles and Staxx are made on "dedicated" lines. The other products are on regular lines that only get "cleaned" between each batch.

The strange thing is, the Stax don't agree with me--I think it's because of all the ingredients they use in them. I usually react to foods made in the same facility or on the same equipment as gluten, but these chips have never bothered me, and I eat them frequently. Just further proof that we're all different and react accordingly :)

Sometimes I am bothered by chips, but I think it's the grease factor :blink:

I have had reactions to the Tostitos and Baked Lays in the past. So now I stay away from the Frito-Lay products that are not produced on a dedicated line...

There have been several posts in the past of others who have had problems as well..

Fritos kill me, but I assumed it was because I might react to corn too.

Hi Sarah,

It is always the grease that gets me. I am definately more sensitive to greasey foods since I've been gluten-free.

It could be a reaction to the sunflower oil, which is not usually allergenic because it is refined, but I doubt it's that highly refined. Some people have problems with salt. Try the low salt variety. I eat them and don't have a problem, but the salty ones make me swell and feel icky.

Wow, :)

Thanks for all of the posts. I feel a little better now hearing that some people do have problems with some of Lay's chips. Because I just couldn't think of anything else it could have been.

I can only eat the Lays Natural product line. I tried other Lays products and I got sick many times.

I knew that about the Stax, but interesting about the Ruffles. I practically lived on Ruffles when I was really sick. For some reason they were the only thing that didn't upset my stomach. I even have a Mini-Cooper the color of a Ruffles bag, so my husband would joke that I should be their spokesperson. However, I don't think it would be a good marketing tool that someone was eating them to gain weight! :P

In my pre-gluten-free days, I used to eat Baked Lays, but shy-ed away from them once I was gluten-free as they say they have modified food starch in them. I never went to the trouble to contact the company about them since there were so many other options (like Stax and Ruffles). Anyone know if the food starch is okay? If it's cornstarch, could you have a problem with corn since Tostitos has it, too?

I had trouble with the barbeque Stax, but do fine with the plain. I have a casein intolerance, maybe the barbeque was a problem because of that ... or it could be because they have a problem with casein cc.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is why Daura Damm can be a sponsor here--at 3ppm or less it is gluten-free, and it's doubtful that anyone with celiac disease would ever have issues with such levels. Some people may be reacting to the yeast in the beer, but I seriously doubt that such beers could trigger elevated antibodies or villi damage--the science says such levels won't trigger...

      I have to express some significant skepticism about the drclark cleansing programs you've mentioned. The claim that a specific, three-part parasite and organ cleanse is a universal solution for chronic health issues is a major red flag, as it oversimplifies the immense complexity of the human body and conditions like Celiac disease, which is an autoimmune...

      Rectal pain

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this. I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure...

      I have to express some significant skepticism about the drclark cleansing programs you've mentioned. The claim that a specific, three-part parasite and organ cleanse is a universal solution for chronic health issues is a major red flag, as it oversimplifies the immense complexity of the human body and conditions like Celiac disease, which is an autoimmune disorder, not a parasite infection. Regarding your Celiac disease, the reaction you describe, while real to you, does not necessarily confirm a diagnosis; a delayed reaction is common with various digestive issues, and a definitive diagnosis typically requires specific blood tests and an intestinal biopsy, not just a provider's acceptance of symptoms. Furthermore, your mention of approaching mayors seems to misunderstand the role of local government versus federal policy; the deduction for gluten-free food is a federal tax law, and a mayor has no jurisdiction to implement widespread Celiac screening, which is a medical and public health decision far beyond a municipal leader's purview. It sounds like you are navigating a difficult health journey, but I would strongly advise consulting with qualified medical specialists and registered dietitians over relying on unverified online cleansing programs.

Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?
