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.

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 ^^

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
