Last night i was watching tv, and they showed an commercial for the new tostitoes made with flour. I havent done any reasearch on them yet. But just wanted to see what you all thought about still eating regular tostitoes now that they make a brand with flour. Im wondering if this is why some are getting sick on tostitoes. I am very upset that they decided to make some now with flour when they know so many people in the world cant have gluten.

It's probably worth calling the company and finding out if they're made on the same lines or in the same facility or not - if you like tostitos.

It's hard to fault them for adding flour, if those chips do significantly better in taste tests, since 98% (pretty much literally) of their market can have wheat.

I am going to call them when i get the kids off to school, it is much easier to be on the phone with only 2 kids at home then 5 lol.

I know its not their fault if they taste good with flour. Its just that i love tositoes and if they make them on the same lines as the other chips im going to be so heart broken. They are the only chips i have had since going gluten free lol

Well I did call, and they said many of their products are made on the same areas of gluten based prducts, but they do clean them in between products, so there is a chance things can be cross contaimated, but it will be listed on their products.

And they said there is only one plant that is making the flour chips, that is not anywhere by colorado were i live. So i think everyone in different states should call and see if they are by the plant that makes the flour chips.

She did say she will send me a new list of gluten free products in the mail within 7-10 days.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
