so how many of you(who are not lactose/casein intolerant) can tolerate lays prodcuts such as ranch doritos, cheetos, and regular potato chips (baked too)?

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 WHY I EAT THEM!! I used to be a vegetarian and like unprocessed foods, and short from getting my own kitchen greasy from frying them myself, I don't know how much simpler you can get!

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! ;)

      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.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
