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 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.

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.

Stay away from the Garden of Eatin's chips!

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!

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.

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!

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
