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".

POTATO

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

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Yeast extract

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this. But you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which would not damage the villous architecture. You could also have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) or H. Pylori infection. Both of these conditions would thrive on carbs and you do say you feel better when you don't eat a lot of carbs. And with your resection of the small bowel, that could be causing it's own problems like you describe. When was that surgery done? You have had over 1 foot of your small bowel removed by that surgery in 2022 so that would certainly challenge digestion and nutrient absorption.  Edited

      My Doctor messaged me that I have no sign of Celiac disease so until I meet with her next week I don’t know what the labs mean. I am being evaluated by my new GI for Celiac disease because of digestive issues (bloating, distention, fullness in mid section, diarrhea).  I also have been diagnosed with GERD and some associated issues hence the endoscopy. I also was diagnosed with NAFLD after an abdominal CT scan in December - which surprises me because I gave up alcohol 5 years ago, workout 5 days a week, cardio / weights and cook from scratch every night. Anecdotally,  I do feel better when I do not eat a lot of carbs and have been staying away from gluten 95% of the time until my follow up.  History: I had an emergency bowel obstruction operation in August 2021 for a double closed loop obstruction, open surgery removed 40 cm of my small intestine, my appendix, cecal valve and illeocectomy. Beside the fact that this put me in the situation of no longer being able to absorb Vitamin B12  from my diet and having to  inject Vit B 12 2x a month, I also became Iron deficient and am on EOD iron to keep my levels high enough to support my Vitamin B12 injections, as well as daily folic acid. I tested positive for pernicious anemia in 2022 but most recently that same test came back negative. Negative Intrinsic Factor. My results from the biopsies showed 2nd part of Duodenum, small bowel Mildly patch increased intraepithelial lymphocytes with intact villious architecture. Comment: Duodenal biopsies with normal villous architecture and increased intrepithelial lymphocytes (Marsh I lesion) are found in 1-3% of patients undergoing duodenal biopsy, and an association with celiac disease is well established however the specificity remains low. Similar histologic findings may be seen in H pylori gastritis, NSAID and other medication use including olmesartan, bacterial overgrowth, tropical sprue and certain autoimmune disorders. So my GI ordered Labs for Celiac confirmation: Sorry I couldn’t upload a photo or pdf so typed below: TEST NAME                               IN RANGE and/or RESULTS RESULTS:  IMMUNOGLOBULIN A :           110 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG, IGA)                            <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGA)                                     <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG)                                    <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE ANTIBODY, IGG, IGA TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGG                                     <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA                                     <1.0 INTERPRETATION: <15.0 ANTIBODY NOT DETECTED  > OR = 15.0 ANTIBODY DETECTED RESULTS: HLA TYPING FOR CELIAC DISEASE INTERPRETATION (note The patient does not have the HLA-DQ associated with celiac disease variants) More than 97% of celiac patients carry either HLA-DQ2 (DQA1*05/DQB1*02) or HLA-DQ8 (DQA1*03/DQB1*0302) or both. Genetic counseling as needed. HLA DQ2 : NEGATIVE HLA D08: NEGATIVE HLA VARIANTS DETECTED: HLA DA1* : 01 HLA DA1* : 05 HLA DQB1*: 0301 HLA DQB1*: 0501 RESULTS REVIEWED BY: Benjamin A Hilton, Ph.D., FACMG I appreciate any input, thank you.

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.
