Frito Lay

[Guest ~jules~]

Last week after being diagnosed, my husband was eating cheetos. So, I called frito lay and they said they are gluten free, and they sent me a gluten free product list. I got the LONG list today, and at the end of it it said only one of the products was actually made on separate machinery. I'm not big on junk food in the first place, but you know if I wanted a cheeto once and awhile that would have been nice. Jeez.

I'm pretty sensitive and have had no problems with cheetos, or any lay's product that was supposed to be gluten-free for that matter.

I rarely ate Cheetos before but after my dx I had them once in a while. As I grew more sensitive to gluten, I noticed I had issues with them. Knowing they are gluten free I figured I had problems with corn. That turned out not to be the case but in fact, I can not eat Cheetos without getting a b'ball belly. But I've know others not to react to Quaker grits and I did both times I had them. Quaker told me point blank not to eat any of their products ever due to cc issues. I'm not Cheestos are cc but we could be reacting to all those chemicals in them. Once you start eating more whole foods, your system can't tolerate all that crap in processed foods. My rule of thumb is if there are more than 5 or so ingredients on a label, I don't want to consume it. The exception being a few gluten-free mixes for cookies, muffins and pancakes. The fresher your food the better. We buy organic even for meats now. The difference is unbelieveable.
