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!

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      @Scott Adams thank you again!  You definitely 100% get it!!  It's so helpful to know that what I'm going through is normal and part of the process. My endoscopy just got scheduled for June 10 (I'm going to be traveling or else they could have gotten me in earlier) so I have 2 more weeks of eating gluten.  I'm assuming I should just go to the endoscopy and start going gluten free as soon as it's done?  Or should I wait for the biopsy to come back just in case they have to repeat something?

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @NightRaven92! The symptoms you describe definitely align with celiac disease or at least NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). That, and the family history of celiac disease, certainly warrant being tested for it. The first stage of diagnosis involves blood tests looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. If the blood antibody testing is positive, there is usually a second level diagnostic procedure for confirmation involving an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining, looking for the damage caused by celiac disease. So, when you go to your appointment, I would suggest approaching your doctor this way to simplify the experience: 1. For six weeks I have been experiencing stomach cramps, diarrhea, feverishness, headaches and joint pain when I consume wheat products. 2. I have relatives with celiac disease and other autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroid disease. 3. I would like to be tested for celiac disease. Would you be willing to order the TTG-IGA antibody test and a total IGA test? TTG-IGA stands for "Tissue Transglutaminase Immunoglobulin A". Total IGA is also known as "Immunoglobulin A (IgA) test" (Note: the TTG-IGA is the "centerpiece" of celiac antibody testing. There are others but this one is the most important and the most popular one with physicians. But is also very important to have total IGA checked since if you are IGA deficient, it will produce artificially lower TTG-IGA scores and possible false negatives for this one and other IGA antibody tests as well.) It's very important that you not begin cutting back on gluten consumption before the antibody test blood draw.

      By NightRaven92 · Posted

      Hey so on June 18th next month,I made an appointment next month with my doctor,because I think what could be causing my symptoms,is related to Celiac Disease. Here is my symptoms & stuff..so anyway autoimmune disease runs on my mom's side of the family. My grandma has an autoimmune disease related to her thyroid,& my aunt has Celiac Disease. I have been having my symptoms for almost 6 weeks now,from what I have noticed anyway. My symptoms are:Stomach pain/cramping,chronic diarrhea,I will feel feverish out of nowhere,I get alot of headaches & pain in my joints,& I noticed that literally after I consume anything with gluten in it,I will get nausea,sick to my stomach,pain in my abdomen & around my stomach,& not to mention the diarrhea that can often come out as very painful afterwards,if I consume gluten foods. I have not felt well in what feels like forever & that's of course why I made a dr appointment. Anyway I could really use some advice on this & how I could maybe bring my symptoms up with my dr without confusing her too much..thanks in advance..

      CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome)

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Marky0320! Simple nausea and emesis is common with celiac disease when gluten is ingested but I have not heard of a connection between CVS and celiac disease per se. Are you asking this question as one who has already been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or as someone who is investigating the possibility of having celiac disease?
