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."

We eat Mission chips, they say gluten-free on the package.

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:

We eat Fritos all the time and haven't had any problems.

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

Tostito's - never had a problem

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 also generally have Que Pasa.

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.

Carriefaith Enthusiast

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

Piesmom Apprentice

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.

hey carrie :)

mission, tositos, and fritos are my main choices.

I wonder if I can buy Mission brand in Canada... Anyone know?

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).

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer. 
    • trents
      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
