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 only eat the regular lays, but i have now noticed that they make me sick, too much oil in them, or maybe they are cc, im not sure. I just know they will never be in my mouth again lol

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".

POTATO

SUNFLOWER OIL

SALT

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! ;)

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
