I eat Que Pasa tortilla chips and I haven't had any problems. Here is their allergy statement from their website:

"14. Do your chips and corn tortillas contain gluten, wheat, soy, or nut products?

No, our chips and corn tortillas do not contain gluten, wheat, soy, or nuts as ingredients. Our corn tortilla chip facility does not manufacture products containing these allergens. For all of the products processed in our facility we have an allergen management program in place. This is inteded to ensure our chip and tortilla products are not exposed to any undeclared allergens. Please contact our Quality Assurance Department if you have specific allergen concerns about any of our products - Links.

Please note that while we only process whole grain corn in our plant, it may be possible for some of these other items to occur in a batch of corn or be present to some degree in other ingredients or foodstuffs stored in the plant. For example, packaged wheat flour tortillas are stored at our plant, even though we do not manufacture them at this facility."

An online friend told me about Fritos corn chips, and I just bought a bag this morning. Ingredients: Whole corn, corn oil, and salt. No preservatives.

We're brand new to the Gluten-free Casein-free diet, and today is actually our DS's first day being completely Gluten-free Casein-free. I'm anxious to find a variety of foods that are safe for him to eat... WITHOUT breaking the bank! :blink:

I eat Fritos (the plain ones) with no trouble. I can't comment on the BBQ flavor ones.

IMO, Mission tortilla chips are the absolute best packaged tortilla chips. We eat those or baked tostitos when I'm trying to be "good" :)

Tostitos (made by Frito-Lay). I have seen Fritos only at Wal-mart. I'm not sure if you have a Wal-mart iin your town.

I have never seen Mission brand in Canada.

I haven't seen Que Pasa either, but Felidae's from Canada, I believe near Edmonton, and you're a bit north of Edmonton, so it's possible you can get them at Save-On Foods. We don't have a Save-On here.

I buy corn tortillas and make my own in the oven. It's really quick and easy!

You have a good memory. LOL

Que Pasa is available at Save-On and Planet Organic.

Thanks everyone! Seems like most people can tolerate tostitos, I may be brave and try them. Que Pasa chips are good, but they are contaminated with dairy. I'm planning on challenging my milk allergy in the future, so maybe I'll be able to eat them!

I like the "Natural" Tostitos as they are soy free (unlike regular Tostitos) and don't seem as greasy as some corn chips.

I don't think that I have ever had the natural Tostitos. Maybe I will try those...

Our family loves both Mission and Tostitos. I like Mission because by me they are priced better than Tostitos and just taste different. We LOVE authentic Mexican food (however we just don't go out to eat anymore...too scary for my DH)...and mission is just closer to authentic than Tostitos.

WARNING!

Natural Tostito Chips are not gluten free! Tostito's official gluten free list is at this websight

Open Original Shared Link

Although many of their products are listed, they are cross-contaminated.

"*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."

These chips made me sick all of one summer before I identified them as a problem.

I'm guessing they aren't sold in Canada. Ah well. Maybe I'll get someone I know to get some for me.

The warning does bother me, but some people don't seem to get a reaction. I have reacted to lays regualar chips and regular stacks before, but I believe it was a dairy reaction (I could be wrong though).

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
