I have no problem eating cheetos or lays potato chips (I only eat the salt and vinegar, or regular ones because that is what I like best) :rolleyes:

Outside of indigestion...I have no iddues with Wavy Lays....althougth at this point...I have decided...why put crap in my body when I need to get this whole sitation sorted out still.

But I do indulge in those from time to time...

Well, I'd never touch Lays, or probably any flavored chips. Just look at the mile-long list of garbage they add to those things, not the least of which is MSG. I like just plain chips, and if I want something on them I'll use my own dips or whatever.

Isn't the issue that they share production lines?

This basically means you can't quantify the risk... it depends what other runs they are doing so its going to vary batch to batch.

Stax are produced on dedicated lines - I've never had a problem with them.

Baked Lays are my favorite thing to eat ever and they got me sick every time until I realized it must be from cc.

I am not much of a gambler, all the gluten floating around the factories is a real issue. I ate them at one time but learned the hard way to pass on their products.

This is what I found to be the case with Lay's. While I was still eating them, sometimes I'd be just fine, and other times, I knew it had to be the chips making me sick.

I'm sure it depended upon whether I got the first batch after something flavored with gluten or not.

I have never been glutened by Lays Regular Potato Chips and yeah, look at the ingredients:

POTATOES

SUNFLOWER OIL

SALT

Now that's the kind of list I like!

Doritos says right ont he label that they contain wheat starch. Just looked this past weekend.

Now...the potato chips...the ones that have the sunflower on the bag...I can deal with that list of ingredients. Whole fresh potatoes, sliced and fried in sunflower oil and salt. That's it.

I don't eat stax.

My favorite chips are Kettle Cooked kind. Utz chips come right out and say "gluten free" on the bag.

I stopped using Lay (never was a big fan) when I went gluten free. I stayed away from junkfood for quite awhile. When I do needs chips or salty treats, I go with UTZ who puts gluten free on their bag or with Wegmans brand because they have the gluten free "G".

These natural Lays are NOT safe! I used to be addicted to the all natural corn chips on their gluten free list; however, they kept me sick for an entire summer. Despite the wonderful looking ingredient list, these chips are cross-contaminated. Check the disclaimer on their gluten free list.

Yes, regular doritos have wheat starch. But Cool Ranch Doritos do not. I have done fine with those, but have issues with Fritos...

MSU.... this is exactly what I did with some corn tortilla's.

Because I thought they were safe I kept them as a backup.... and I lost about 6 months of my life feeling crap and wondering what I was doing wrong...

The problem is you never know.... you can test them one batch and be fine then another batch isn't.... and there is no logical way of knowing short of trying... but because of the nature of chips in general..they're something easy to keep around as a fallback.

OMG- Holy sh*&^%t! This could explain why I have been feeling like utter grabage for over 2 months now. I DON"T KNOW WHY I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT CC. I eat the Natural Lay's constantly. Maybe this is what it was all along!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow- I just had to popst again and say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially MSU! I literally was thinking something was seriously wrong with me! Potatoes are a safe food for me- potatoes and apples settle my stomach so even when I was feeling terrible, I would eat these and rice. I've lost like 10 pounds in the last two months and have been sick constantly.

And I JUST started eating them a few months ago. I cannot THANK YOU enough! UTZ- here I come!

THat's the ingredient list for REGULAR Lays.

I've never had the natural ones, but the regular ones work fine for me.

I hope they work for you--I tried Utz once, and within 2 hours had a full-blown gluten reaction. Not vague, like with the Lays--there was not doubt!

I know lots of people eat these with no problem--I just wasn't one of them, and thought you should know. :)

Incidently, after this happened, I emailed Utz (very politely, just inquiring)--and they never got back to me. :angry:

Well after I read this thread I went to the Utz website:Open Original Shared Link

And here's their disclaimer:

\An additional complication to this matter is the potential fact that the manufacturing facilities of our ingredient suppliers may use common manufacturing lines to produce different formulations for accounts other than our own. Obviously, these production lines are thoroughly cleaned between changeovers, but there is always the potential for trace contamination. Notwithstanding the above concerns, we have been giving out the aforementioned list of Utz branded

Their statement has changed--I'll bet they have gotten a lot more complaints! ;)

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
