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.

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      I have increased my vitamin intake Vitamin B Complex plus 2 Thiamax, NeuroMag, Benfotiamine with breakfast. I continue reading and watching gluten free items that I eat. Breakfast is Bobs Redmill gluten-free oatmeal with Chobani zero sugar yogurt a banana and blueberries. Lunch since im at a deli gluten-free is hard to come by so I stick with turkey with gluten-free Promise bread. Dinner varies like gluten-free pasta, tacos, chicken, sausage, meat etc. rice or take out from gluten-free places. I have decided to stay away from gluten-free pizza as I feel I felt weird with it unless its store bought frozen. I am going to try to make my own gluten-free bread, Bagels. I have been good with baking gluten-free treats like cookies, muffins. Snacks if its not fruit, veggies I grab a protein bar or chocolate guilty pleasure reeses, hersheys, York PP. I am going to start to use my fitness pal app to track what I eat and note when I feel off to see if I can pinpoint if a trend of a certain gluten-free food is a culprit. I noticed once in a while I feel a little bloated, gassy that I think is from the pizza so I am going to avoid it and continue narrowing it down. I have been doing very well and I have learned even if you think you are doing everything 100% gluten-free eating it can sneak in without you knowing. This year is more traveling which im afraid of but have already looked into gluten-free places in Nashville which they have and back to Aruba I went last year and have the gluten-free places already selected. Most restaurants I have been to have been very helpful with what to stay away from to avoid CC. If a place states they don't have any gluten-free the I stick with a salad or when I took my kids to breakfast as much as I miss the breakfast this place serves I played it safe with yogurt and a fruit bowl so at least my kids were happy to go there again. Local farmers market has great gluten-free items that I treat myself to like different types of breads, baked goods. My journey continues...

I told him im glutenfree since 1994 by colonoscopy with biopsy positive celiac sprue by GI.Its RIDICULOUS when im bringing in material from this site of knowledge as well as the autoimmune institute,and  there's zero interest on their part.Medical IS causing me depression.Im view as a disability chaser, IM STILL RECOVERING from being a bus driver that im still healing and having more issues, now I may have multiple sclerosis or meningioma. Ive reached out, wrote letters, NOT feeling well. This is inhumane.
