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.

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.

      Fiber Supplement

      @Trish G, I like dates, they have lots if fiber as well. But what I found helped most was taking Thiamine (in the form Benfotiamine which helps promote intestinal healing), Pyridoxine B 6, Riboflavin B 2, and magnesium, and Omega Three fats. The absorption of nutrients is affected by Celiac disease which damages the intestinal lining of the small...

      @kpf, Were you eating ten grams or more of gluten daily in the month preceding your antibody blood tests? TTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. Ten grams of gluten per day for several weeks before testing is required to provoke sufficient antibody production for the antibodies to leave the intestines and enter the blood stream and be measured...

      Fiber Supplement

      Thanks, I'm not a big fan of prunes but did add them back after stopping the Benefiber. Hoping for the best while I wait to hear back from Nutritionist for a different fiber supplement. Thanks again

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      If you were wondering why milk protein bothers you with Celiac Disease. Commercial dairies supplement the cow feed with wheat, which becomes incorporated in the milk protein. Milk omega 6 to omega 3 ratio: Commercial Dairies: 5:1 Organic Milk: 3:1 Grass fed milk: 1:1

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      My TMJ ended when I lost a middle lower molar. I had an amalgam filling from youth (1960s) that failed and the tooth broke. I had what was left pulled and did not bother to replace it. My bite shifted and the TMJ went away. I just had to be careful eating M&M Peanuts because they would get stuck in the hole.

      Fiber Supplement

      @Trish G,  I like dates, they have lots if fiber as well.  But what I found helped most was taking Thiamine (in the form Benfotiamine which helps promote intestinal healing), Pyridoxine B 6, Riboflavin B 2, and magnesium, and Omega Three fats. The absorption of nutrients is affected by Celiac disease which damages the intestinal lining of the small intestines where our nutrients are absorbed.  If you have constipation, where your body is rather pushing your food away and not interacting with it, the nutrients in the food are not being released and absorbed.  You can develop deficiencies in all the vitamins and minerals necessary for the body to function properly.   The B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished daily.  Thiamine B 1 stores can run out in as little as three days.  Constipation (or diarrhea or alternating) is one of the first symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine needs magnesium, Pyridoxine B 6, and Riboflavin B 2 to make the intestinal tract function.  Thiamine and Niacin make digestive enzymes.  Thiamine provides the energy for nerve impulses to carry messages to the brain and back about digestion.  Thiamine provides the energy for the muscle contractions which move your food through the digestive tract. High calorie meals containing lots of starches and sugars can deplete thiamine stores quickly because more thiamine is required to turn them into energy.   Are you taking any vitamin and mineral supplements?  Correction of malnutrition is very important in Celiac disease.  Thiamine, the other B vitamins and magnesium will help with constipation better than adding more fiber.  What did your nutritionist recommend you take, besides just the fiber? The association between dietary vitamin B1 intake and constipation: a population-based study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11100033/ Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Association between dietary vitamin B6 intake and constipation: a population-based study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11584952/

      @kpf, Were you eating ten grams or more of gluten daily in the month preceding your antibody blood tests? TTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  Ten grams of gluten per day for several weeks before testing is required to provoke sufficient antibody production for the antibodies to leave the intestines and enter the blood stream and be measured in blood tests. If you had already gone gluten free or if you had lowered your consumption of gluten before testing, your results will be inaccurate and inconclusive.   See link below on gluten challenge guidelines. Have you had any genetic testing done to see if you carry genes for Celiac disease?  If you don't have genes for Celiac, look elsewhere for a diagnosis.  But if you have Celiac genes, you cannot rule out Celiac disease. You mentioned in another post that you are vegetarian.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  The best sources of the eight essential B vitamins are found in meats.  Do you supplement any of the B vitamins as a vegetarian? Deficiency in Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is strongly associated with anemia which can cause false negatives on antibody tests.  Fatigue, numbness or tingling in extremities, difficulty with coordination, headaches and anemia are strongly associated with thiamine deficiency.  Other B vitamins that contribute to those symptoms are Riboflavin B 2, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9 and B12 Cobalamine.  The eight B vitamins all work together with minerals like magnesium and iron.  So your symptoms are indicative of B vitamin deficiencies.  You can develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies just being a vegetarian and not eating good sources of B vitamins like meat.  B vitamin deficiencies are found in Celiac due to the malabsorption of nutrients because the lining of the intestines gets damaged by the antibodies produced in response to gluten.
