Totilla Chips

Does anyone have a brand of corn chips that are gluten free plus no chance of cross contiamination? I thought I read somewhere that the brand "Mission" was a good one. Any help is very much appreciated.

Hi, Bernadette--I eat Green Mountain Gringo tortilla chips all the time with no problem. They say "gluten free" on the bag, even. I've also heard that Mission chips are fine, but I haven't tried them. However, I do eat their corn tortillas all the time without any problem. Mission is a good company regarding cross contamination, and they supposedly have a separate facility or room for their corn products.

If you have a Wegman's grocery store around you, their in-house brand of Authentic corn tortillas are listed on the bag as gluten free, and they test their products for gluten. I've never gotten sick by eating them.

I've just switched to Mission from a local brand I was using. They are really good!!!

On the issue of corn chips and cc, I'm curious if anyone knows what Kettle and Garden of Eatin's records are. Good/bad?

I think my hubby read some of garden of eatin (maybe kettle, he forgets) that has some gluten in them. We usually have kettle with no problems but we didn't have obvious symptoms to begin with.

Kettle chips have notorious cc issues, some of their chips have gluten.

Does that go for their potato chips too? :unsure:

Especially their potato chips. The salt & pepper ones were my first glutening, it sucked.

Uh oh, I had a whole bag of potato chips yesterday. :o I get the unsalted. The kids also had some. Hopefully everyone is ok...the little one hasn't broken out yet and he's pretty sensitive to what I eat.

Oh crap! I have Kettle chips all the time. I never know about cc because I don't get the obvious symptoms, like "d" and what have you.

kettle- they have 1 chip that contains gluten and thats the beer batterd chetter, unfortuantly they are all made on the same lines, but they claim still that there chips are gluten free, i ate them for a while with no problems, out of 20 bags i finally got 1 bad bag so i personaly stay away, but they are the best chips in the world

mission- i eat them farily often with no problems, even though they do cause minor bloating in general(atleast the salsja roja) but mission seems to be great iwth the cc, they use a diffrient facility for the gluten free items so u should be in the clear

Haven't read to bottom...but I did Emal Hain, which produces Garden of Eatin ... they make their product on equipment that produces wheat, so the chips aren't clean. Boo hoo. I love their sesame blues.

That sure explains a lot <_< I was eating them and all week I have been having wheat allergy and celiac disease reactions. I had a hudge rash on both of my lower legs, I am having respiratory problems (not getting enough air or something), I had stomach pain, chest pains, and now I am having GI problems :( Those chips are definately contaminated.

gringo mountain for me.. I do find they don't stay fresh all that long in the bag though... last batch was stale tasting after 3 days... but I don't eat a whole bag at a time I guess I need to work on that!

Becky6 Enthusiast

I wrote to Kettle Chips and was told to stay away from them as they have bad CC. So, I have not gotten any since! I like Tostitos and green moutain gringo.

olalisa Contributor

I buy Snyder's tortilla chips and love them. They're just corn (enriched with thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, iron, and folic acid), canola oil and salt. I just checked the bag for allergen info and I states, "Produced in a facility that handles peanut butter." So that sounds good to me (unless you have a peanut allergy, of course :P), but no mention of wheat, so I consider that GREAT!

Pas Newbie

Eh.. does anyone knows if Lays chips are safe?

or Ruffles?

i heard they were all gluten free but im not too sure...and i am kinda afraid to eat them..

oh and is it true that Hershey chocolate are gluten free too?( sorry its not chips but i thought id ask :)

thanks ^^

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.

      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the milk protein?
    • Scott Adams
      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.
