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 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.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
