Tostitos How Could You!

So since I have been diagnosed, chips and salsa have been my go to snack food. Corn chips are delicious and have always been safe for me. But now Tostitos have have come out with chips made with flour, kind of along the lines of flour tortilla instead of corn but for chips. I think I need to buy a bag, and open them up just to see what they look like, and hope that they differ from the corn chips. For instance at parties, what if someone buys these, sticks them out and they look just like the regular ones I have always loved. I mean I can obviously ask to see the bag, or ask the host, too bad i never had to before. So this is just a warning for everyone, don't grab blindly for those nachos!

LOL I agree, flour Tostitos are the worst idea ever. I kind of yell at the television screen every time I see the commercial for them :ph34r::lol:

My favorite Tostitos chip had been the Bite Sized Gold, and I was so mad when I saw that they recently have made the flour tortilla chips and they are EXACTLY the same size and shape as the bite size gold chips! I assume that means that they are run on the same macine that makes that size! I no longer feel safe buying my favorite chips. I had to go find a NEW favorite... <_<

Hmmm maybe stick with the Tostitos scoops? Or bite sized rounds? Those would be easy to tell apart. I don't really have a preference in terms of tortilla chips, but recently I have been getting into the blue corn ones--somebody makes a really good Blue Sesame corn chip, and Miguel's brand also makes a great one. But for me Tostitos always had the best balance of salt and crunch! Ahhh just have to be more careful now. I wonder why they did it, probably to promote more whole grains?

So have you seen the flour chips? Are they a brown color or noticeably different then the corn chips?

I hope they're made in a separate factory but I doubt it. I usually buy the garden of eatin chips anyway. Hopefully they stay with just corn.

It is a local company in Central California and for the life of me I can't recall the name. I am out right now. I will post the name when I get a new bag. They are thicker and crunchier than regular Tostitos, much like the Bite Sized Gold.

I haven't seen an opened bag, but you can see the picture on the bag and they look exactly like the Bite Sized Gold only a light tan colored. The Bite Sized Gold chips are very golden yellow. They are very obvioulsy a flour tortilla chip. I do not think you could mistake them for a corn tortilla chip.

Okay, I bought some more of my "new favorite" chips today. They are Casa Sanchez Thin & Light Tortilla chips. They are really great chips. They remind me of the homemade chips I used to get from the authentic mexican food restaurants years ago. Very tasty, thin, crisp and just the right amount of salt! They hold up well with salsa, guacamole and nachos piled high with everything!

Casa Sanchez is a company that is based out of San Francisco and they are basically only sold in stores in Northern California. I live right in the middle of the grey area where northern and southern CA run together. So some delivery routes consider us northern and some consider us southern...

Anyhow, I am confident that the chips are gluten free. The company ONLY makes corn tortilla chips (corn flour, oil, lime and sea salt), corn tortillas, fresh salsa and guacamole. There is nothing in the factory to contaminate the chips with gluten. They have been a family run company since the 1920's and using the same family recipes the whole time. I do not forsee any recipe changes with this company!! You can buy the chips online and I highly recommend them. They also make a Thick & Crispy chip and this time I bought a bag to try. I'll let you guys know about them when I get to that bag!

      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.
