A Reaction From Cheetos?


Trish in Canada

There are thousands of ingredients in our foods that are not legally required to be on the labels.

Also, I think it is wise for us to be especially aware of eating nutritionally sound foods.

I used to have a few recipes for things that turned out like cheetos, only home made and wholesome....can't find them now, but I'm sure you could go online and find some fun recipes to make snacks. Not as nice as being able to grab some in the quick stop market, but you will feel better and your body will gain something instead of having more to fight off.

Also, if you have a local health food coop or store, they often carry quite a few healthy versions of cheeto type snacks and lots more that you may want to explore.

I choose to be glad that I have a disease that has prompted me to live a healthier life and seek out better sources of food for myself and my family. I could have had something worse and be on a bunch of medications. So keep your chin up.

This is interesting...a couple of days ago I was reading the transcript of a prank phone call from zug.com to frito-lay, where the guy claims his daughter is "allergic" to gluten.. the frito-lay girl's response was "well, you may not want to give this product to her then".

I have been getting DF rash flare ups for a few months and tummy issues here and there (ever since I started this job).

I've been bad and have snacked on Cheetos bought in the vending machine since I started working here (at least twice a week).

I quit the Cheetos for two weeks, the rash got better and my tummy behaved more.

I ate Cheetos this morning and got a HUGE red flare up on both of my legs. omg itching itching itching and had to run to the bathroom because my intestines basically went haywire.

So, I went to the FritoLay website and Cheetos are listed as Gluten-Free...

However, at the bottom of the Gluten-Free list it says this:

*The above products do not contain gluten; however, they are produced on the same line as our products that do contain gluten. Although the lines are washed between batches, a slight residue may remain on the lines. Individuals who are extremely sensitive may be affected.

I'm sorry, but I have rarely seen anyone in a food processing area truly clean it thoroughly in all the years I worked in restaurants, so I'm going with the strong assumption of it also being true at any pre-packaged food company as well.

So I'd take that statement as a no, Cheetos are NOT Gluten-Free.

I use to love cheetos and other Frito Lay's brand chips. But after going gluten free and learning more I was noticing I was still feeling sick when I ate them. It is nice that some of the food companies are now posting gluten free lists but it is sad when you get excited about getting to eat food from the grocery store with the rest of your family and then feel sick from it.

I don't buy their brand in general anymore (it is very tempting at times but then you just have to remember how you felt). My husband reminds me how I felt when I ate any of their chips and gives me a look whenever I want to buy a bag (this normally happends when we go grocery shopping after work before dinner and I am hungry haha).

The only chips I buy now are the Mission brand -- Mission Corn Tortillas off and on (the white corn tortillas) and have had no problem.

I really wish that people would mention that they're replying to a topic that's a year and a half old. I just read through the whole thread before I ran into my own old reply and noticed. :o

There's a huge difference between restaurants and manufacturing facilities. No comparison at all. They wash those lines down with steam hoses. I know, I worked at Frito Lay. I've eaten Cheetos, Tostitos, Ruffles, and Fritos the whole time I've been on a strict gluten-free diet. Never once had a problem. There's no way that could be if there was a gluten cross contamination problem to the extent that many of our posters think. I suspect it's mass hysteria. :rolleyes:

I don't doubt some people are intolerant of MSG, orange dye, soybean oil, dairy, processed foods, junk food, whatever. But that's not gluten!

Cheetos are good. Cheetos are our friend.

best regards, lm

I know my body very well and I HAVE been glutened from Doritos, Cheetos, and plain Lays potato chips. I don't think it's the msg, although that is very bad for you too, because I've had msg other times and not been glutened from it. I won't eat any of these types of chips anymore, as I'm interested in healing my body but putting chemical filled artificial junk into it. The only type of chips I ever eat are plain corn tortilla chips and the only ingrediants they have are corn, oil, and salt.

MSG is not so good for you, BUT it is NOT Gluten related.

I'm personally allergic to niacin, which can be found in cheetos and other products. If you really don't know, perhaps you should consult a doctor?

The original discussion is almost 10 years old.  I would urge people reading this now bumped up thread to check with the manufacturer for up to date ingredients and practices.

RainaS,

You can start a new thread about this if you really think it is the Niacin but have you considered whether it could be Folic Acid instead.

Some people do experience because of MTHFR gene defect issues with Folic Acid and going gluten free helps them because gluten free foods are not enriched with Folic Acid.

here is a recent article featured on celiac.com about it.

https://www.celiac.com/articles/25019/1/Methylation-and-Celiac-Disease/Page1.html

quoting

"Those individuals with MTHFR variants should avoid folic acid as a dietary supplement and foods enriched with it like cereals, breads, flour, etc."

There is a natural flush free form of Niacin known as Nicainamide that many people tolerate very well instead of the flushing form of Niacin most people/doctors use for Cholestrol management.

Magnesium use/supplementation has a similar image problem.

Magnesium Citrates in higher doses 200mg+ can cause flushing and people wlll often stop taking it before it does any good . . . but Magnesium Glycinate has none of the issues some people have taking Magnesium Citrate (especially on a empty stomach).

Think of the Niacinamide form in the same way.  No flushing/hives/rash etc. . .but all the benefit of Niacin.

If taking Folic Acid seperately causing you the same problem as you noticed and attributed to Niacin then  you might want to be tested for the MTHR variant.

I have taken Folic Acid very successfully for BP. . . .but people who have the gene defect might think they are having gluten problems that seemingly get better when they go gluten free.

A little testing will determine if it is the gene defect or the gluten in your diet.

*****this is not medical advice but I hope it is helpful.

I do a lot of nutrition research and as soon as I think I have it figured out . . I learn something new.

I just wanted to make you aware of the MTHFR gene defect so you would be aware you might have it and not be alert too it!

You can't do what you don't know.

Again I hope this is helpful and you can search for celiac.com for other users that have  had the same problems to see if your symptom's are similar but the link/article I provided is a pretty exhaustive resource on the topic.  Or at least enough to educate you or others who read this thread.

again quoting

"These MTHFR variants are NOT uncommon but unfortunately few in the medical arena are educated to address dietary concerns related to them."

And it is possible it might still be the Niacin . . . but I found Niacin helped me. and the level of Niacin used for enrichment is a very low dose. . . less than or  approx. only 30% of the RDA.

it is more likely (in my opinion) that you have reached toxic levels (of Folic Acid) due to internal processing errors of methylation or at least likely enough you should be tested for it and rule it out.

taking the methylform of B-Vitamins might be necessary for you if you have the gene defect. . . it would be an easy self test.

see if you can tolerate the methyl folate form not the synthetic folic acid form as the article points out. . . the form natural found in foods.

see this webmd summary on the difference

https://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-1017-folic acid.aspx?activeingredientid=1017&activeingredientname=folic acid

"Folate and folic acid are forms of a water-soluble B vitamin. Folate occurs naturally in food, and folic acid is the synthetic form of this vitamin. Since 1998, folic acid has been added to cold cereals, flour, breads, pasta, bakery items, cookies, and crackers, as required by federal law. Foods that are naturally high in folate include leafy vegetables (such as spinach, broccoli, and lettuce), okra, asparagus, fruits (such as bananas, melons, and lemons) beans, yeast, mushrooms, meat (such as beef liver and kidney), orange juice, and tomato juice."

And again I hope this is helpful to you or the next forum user who reads it.

good luck on your continued journey.

OP here, I have the MTHFR gene, I'm homozygous which means I have 10-20% efficiency in processing folic acid which means I have high homocysteine, low B12 and folate levels. I found out when I plugged in my raw dna data from ancestrydna into the promethease website in May.

Every other day I have been taking Methylated b12, methylated folic acid, methylated B6 (P5P). I have been doing this since June/July.  Started taking niacin with inotisol in September.

Starting in June I got a couple of itchy patches under my arms. I thought it was a reaction to deodorant. Nope, over the summer the rash has got progressively worse and popped up in other places: around ankles, stomach/abdomen, knees, lower arms, genital areas/buttocks, worse underarm area.  Tried benedryl which helped mildly, tried over the counter hydrocortisone, both which usually works with rash for me. Tried a cream with niacinamide in it but it did not work. Maybe it was too low dose of niacinamide to work? It was a cream that is meant for excema and has other ingredients.

I came the forums to post about this and ironically found my old post from 12 years ago.

I did also get exposed to gluten in June. My sister was sharing beef jerky with me and I assumed she checked (she also follows gluten-free diet mostly), it had wheat. Also had eaten out at restaurants a couple of times this summer and the food may have been contaminated. I ate fried food (corn chips and fired potatoes) ugh. 

I also have been eating dairy and eggs which I found out are high in iodine, so... I am gonna have to do an elimination diet again until I figure out what is going on. 

I stopped taking the supplements 3-4 days ago just in case they are making my skin flare up (they are gluten free as listed on the label). I may be having some weird histamine response.

I also had a bad reaction to cheetos.  For me, it was the yeast extract that messed me up.  A skin test has shown that my allergy to yeast is pretty strong.  I did not read the ingredients, and it gave me eczema on my face and body, along with hives and acne.  :(

Not long ago, I ate some baked Cheetos, within just a few minutes, my lips and the inside of my mouth went numb. I brushed it off as to maybe something was on my hands.  A few days later, I was at a local restaurant where they served popcorn as an appetizer.  I ate a few hand fulls of the popcorn, and my lips and mouth went numb again. I thought this was odd, and now I am trying to figure out what is the common denominator  between the two snacks!  Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,

Research corn allergies.  That would be the number one suspect between the two products.  Who know what was in the popcorn served at the restaurant?  You could always call and ask.

O.K. so I ate a bowlful of cheetos yesterday and got a fairly minor skin reaction within 1-2hours later. Previously I had a full body DH rash for about 7 months. The rash went away when I went gluten-free. Every once and awhile I accidently eat something that triggers a skin reaction. This time it was cheetos. I thought the ingredients were safe. I'm not sure anymore. About 2 1/2 months ago I had cheetos and had the same reaction but, at that time, I thought it was caused by something else (something that definately had gluten in it). I was dairy-free up until a week ago when I decided to start consuming lactose free milk products. I was fine all week. So I decided to try the cheetos to test about lactose. I didn't have any bowel or stomach reactions. I'm not sure if you can have a skin reaction to lactose? I know it's not a reaction to casien because I've been consuming lactose free milk all week with no skin or bowel problems. I've been eating corn tortillas all week, so I know it's not corn either.

 

I'm confused, so I need your help. Is there anything that would trigger a reoccurence of DH in this list of ingredients? Too much salt? (iodine?) Can anyone find a possible hidden gluten source in this list of ingredients? I've only been gluten free since May, so I'm still learning.

 

Cheetos Ingredients:

Enriched cornmeal (cornmeal, iron, niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, folic acid) Vegetable oil. Seasoning (Whey, cheddar cheese, sour cream, artificial flavour, MSG, Lactic acid, colour, citric acid) salt.

 

Thank you,

 

Trish

Cheerios reacts same way with me. Oats are not gluten free due to extreme cross contamination. Rice chex cereal has been event free for me( also, as a result, it appears that you are re-injuring small intestines. Because of this stay away from LACTOSE! Use almond milk if possible. Pure oats are gluten-free and safe for most people with gluten intolerance.. However, oats are often contaminated with gluten because they may be processed in the same facilities as gluten

I have dermatitis herpetiformis and I can confirm from personal experience that cheetos, even the baked ones, cause me to get skin blisters. Whenever I get a flare up, I put a cream on called Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream USP, 0.1%. My dermatologist gave it to me. Dapsone never made a difference for me and I was on it for 3-4 months.

I really have to stress what I lifesaver the cream was. My skin blisters broke open leaving my entire arm to look like it had dragon scales that would ooze. I smeared the cream all over my damaged skin and after it dried, I would wipe the residue off and repeat. This process lasted about a week, until my skin was so improved, I didn't get weird looks from people anymore. It was honestly a Godsend. Before the cream, my DH-damaged arms were a hot mess for 3 months with no sign of improvement, while it took a week (maybe 2) for the cream to work its magic.

Last thing: the cream is really effective at stopping the intense itch DH causes. It works within 10 minutes. Don't touch the cream until it has dried and hardened before putting on a new layer if you still itch.

      Thank you for your post, @Nedast, and welcome to the forum. It is interesting to read of your experiences. Although I've not had TMJ, from time to time I have had a bit of mild pain in my jaw, sharp stabbing pains and tingling in my face which appears to have been caused by issues with my trigeminal nerve.  I read that sometimes a damaged trigeminal nerve in coeliacs can heal after adopting a gluten free diet.  I try to keep out of cold winds or wear a scarf over my face when it is cold and windy, those conditions tend to be my 'trigger' but I do think that staying clear of gluten has helped.  Also, sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck is a tip I picked up online, again, that seems to bring benefits. Thank you again for your input - living with this sort of pain can be very hard, so it is good to be able to share advice.

      I made an account just to reply to this topic. My story resembles yours in so many ways that it is truly amazing. I also suddenly became lactose intolerant, went a little under 10 years attributing all my symtoms to different body parts, never thinking it was something systemic until much later. I had the same mental problems - anxiety, depression, fatigue, etc. In fact, the only real difference in our story is that I was never formally diagnosed. When I discovered that my myriad symtoms, that had been continuous and worsening for years, all rapidly subsided upon cessation of consuming gluten, I immediately took it upon myself to cut gluten out of my diet completely. I live in America, and had lost my health insurance within the year prior to my discovery, so I could not get tested, and I will never willingly or knowingly consume gluten again, which I would have to do in order to get tested now that I have insurance again. But that is not the point of this reply. I also had extreme TMJ pain that began within months of getting my wisdom teeth out at - you guessed it - 17 years old. I was in and out of doctors for my various symptoms for about 5 years before I gave up, but during that time I had also kept getting reffered to different kinds of doctors that had their own, different solutions to my TMJ issue, an issue which I only recently discovered was related to my other symptoms. I began with physical therapy, and the physical therapist eventually broke down at me after many months, raising her voice at me and saying that there was nothing she could do for me. After that saga, I saw a plastic surgeon at the request of my GP, who he knew personally. This palstic surgeon began using botox injections to stop my spasming jaw muscles, and he managed to get it covered by my insurace in 2011, which was harder to do back then. This helped the pain tremendously, but did not solve the underlying problem, and I had to get repeat injections every three months. After a couple of years, this began to lose effectiveness, and I needed treatments more often than my insurance would cover. The surgeon did a scan on the joint and saw slight damage to the tissues. He then got approved by insurance to do a small surgery on the massseter (jaw) muscle - making an incision, and then splicing tissue into the muscle to stop the spasming. It worked amazingly, but about three months later it had stopped working. I was on the verge of seeing the top oral surgeon in our city, but instead of operating on me, he referred me to a unique group of dentists who focus on the TMJ and its biomechanical relationship to teeth occlusion (i.e. how the teeth fit together). This is what your dentist did, and what he did to you was boderline if not outright malpractice. There is a dental field that specializes in doing this kind of dental work, and it takes many years of extra schooling (and a lot of money invested into education) to be able to modify teeth occusion in this manner. Just based on the way you describe your dentist doing this, I can tell he was not qualified to do this to you. Dentists who are qualified and engage in this practice take many measurments of your head, mouth, teeth, etc., they take laboratory molds of your teeth, and they then make a complete, life-size model of your skull and teeth to help them guide their work on you. They then have a lab construct, and give you what is called a "bite splint." It looks and feels like a retainer, but its function is entirely different. This is essentially a literal splint for the TMJ that situates on the teeth. The splint is progressively modified once or twice per week, over several months, in order to slowly move the joint to its correct position. The muscles spasm less, stress is taken off the joint, as the joint slowly moves back into its proper position. The pain reduces each month, each week, sometimes even each day you go in for a visit. The joint has to be moved in this manner with the splint BEFORE the modification to the teeth begins. They then add to your tooth structure with small bits of composite, to keep the joint in its proper place after it has been sucessfully repositioned. Subtracting from your teeth, by grinding down bits of your natural tooth structure, is done very conservatively, if they have to do it at all. This process worked for me - after six months, my face, jaw, neck all felt normal, and I had no more pain - a feeling I had not had in a long time. It also made my face look better. I had not realized the true extent that the spasming muscles and the joint derangement had effected the shape of my face. The pain began to return after a few months, but nowhere near where it had been before. This immense reduction in pain lasted for a little over two years. The treatment still ultimately failed, but it is not their fault, and it is still the treatment that has given me the most relief to this day. Later on, I even went about three years with very, very good pain reduction, before the joint severely destabilized again. This field of dentistry is the last line treatment for TMJ issues before oral surgery on the TMJ. There aren't as many denists around who practice this anymore, and the practice is currently shrinking due to dentists opting for less espensive, additional educations in things like professional whitening, which have a broader marketability. Getting this treatment is also very expensive if not covered by insurance (in America at least). My first time was covered by insurance, second time was not, though the dentist took pity on me due to the nature of my case and charged like a quarter of usual pricing. Most cases seen by these dentists are complete successes, and the patient never has to come back again. But occasionally they get a case that is not a success, and I was one of those cases. A little over a year ago, I began seeing the second dentist who keeps my TMJ stable in this manner. The first dentist retired, and then died sadly. A shame too, because he was a truly amazing, knowledgable guy who really wanted to help people. The new dentist began to get suspicious when my joint failed to stay stable after I was finished with the bite splint and his modifications, so he did another scan on me. This is ten years after the first scan (remember, I said the surgeon saw "slight" damage to the tissue on the first scan). This new scan revealed that I now no longer have cartilage in the joint, on both sides - complete degeneration of the soft tissues and some damage to the bone. The dentist sat me down and had a talk with me after these results came in, and said that when he sees damage like this in cases like mine, that the damage to the joint is most likely autoimmune, and that, in his experinece, it is usually autoimmune. He has sent patients with cases like mine to Mayo Clinic. He said he will continue to see me as long as the treatment continues to offer me relief, but also said that I will probably have to see a dentist for this type of treatment for the rest of my life. He is not currently recommending surgery due to my young age and the fact that the treatment he provides manages my symptoms pretty well. I still see this dentist today, and probably will see this kind of dental specialist for the rest of my life, since they have helped with this issue the most. I did not inform him that I am 100% sure that I have celiac disease (due to my complete symptom remission upon gluten cessation). I didn't inform him because I thought it would be inappropriate due to not having a formal diagnosis. I was disappointed, because I had believed I had caught it BEFORE it had done permanent damage to my body. I had never suspected that my TMJ issues may be related to my other symptoms, and that the damage would end up complete and permanent. Luckily, I caught it about 6 months after my other joints started hurting, and they stopped hurting right after I went gluten free, and haven't hurt since. I of course did the necessary research after the results of the second scan, and found out that the TMJ is the most commonly involved joint in autoimmune disease of the intestines, and if mutliple joints are effected, it is usually the first one effected. This makes complete sense, since the TMJ is the most closely related joint to the intestines, and literally controls the opening that allows food passage into your intestines. I am here to tell you, that if anyone says there is no potential relationship between TMJ issues and celiac disease, they are absolutely wrong. Just google TMJ and Celiac disease, and read the scientific articles you find. Research on issues regarding the TMJ is relatively sparse, but you will find the association you're looking for validated.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?
