Frito Lay Product Contamination

Recommended Posts

I went to their site and looked up all their gluten-free products.. They do say that all products are made on same line..

I am pretty sure that

*Cracker Jacks

*Natural White Cheddar Cheetos

*Hot, Honey Roasted, and Regular Peanuts by FritoLay

have all caused me to have a reaction.

But!! Now, of course, I have to question whether the Dairy that might have been in the Cheetos and Cracker Jacks.., and the Peanuts, themselves, might actually be the cause of me feeling sick- and not the possibly gluten-contamination.

Anyone have any experience with their products (I'm sure you have, there is a huge amount of gluten-free Frito Lay products.)

I have trouble with Frito Lay products that are flavored. The BBQ Lays Stacks made both my son and me sick even though the can says Naturally Gluten Free. I have not had a problem with plain Fritos or Plain Lays Chips.

There are a few items made on dedicated lines, although I can't remember which ones other than the Stax. They are on their own lines and no flavor has gluten.

Me and son are also soy-free.

I was happy to see that the Fritoes round container of 'Scoops', their regular corn chip only in a different shape for dipping, totally agrees with me and son.

And we are both very severely gluten-sensitive, so I would say the plain Fritoes corn chips are definitely safe to eat (at least the 'Scoops' in the round container, that's what I've tried personally and can attest to for sure).

Best wishes to all!

I have had problems with lays and fritos. I even got sick from the lays stax from all the oil in them. I dont eat any of their products anymore. I pretty much just stick to kettle chips and boulder chips now.

Me, too. Fritos sometimes give me problems, but I don't think it's a gluten problem ... I think it's a junk food problem ... I normally eat very healthy, so Fritos don't sit well. Lay's Stax plain are always okay though ... I think they just aren't as greasy as Fritos.

Really, any flavored product affects me.

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Help me out here. Lauren Dam gluten-free beer from Spain is listed as gluten free. Yet its made from Barley Malt. I thought barley and any form had gluten. Anybody have any more information about it?

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
