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.

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 ^^

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?
