I'd like to get more postings on the LAYS - original classic or wavy. Do you have a gluten reaction to either of these types? (just the plain, potato, oil, salt)

Daughter eats these with no reaction, but she has an allergy and not celiac.

I eat them with no reaction. My antibodies consistently test negative.

I found that I react to them--which is sad because I was addicted to them!

I now eat the Stax plain with no problems :)

On the advice of someone I met in my local support group, I only eat Frito-Lay products from the Plano, TX plant. She says she has never been glutened by the Plano equipment but she has been glutened by Frito-Lay products in other areas of the country when she travels. Frito-Lay prints which plant the product came from on the bag.

My family hasn't reacted to Lays plain or to Fritos plain from the Plano plant. :-)

I have never reacted to Lays Original or Wavy chips. I have no idea which plant they came from (I just checked, Plano Tx :lol: )--the weird thing is, I can not eat potatoes in any other form, only the chips. Now explain that to me!!!!

I have had no problems with Lays original potato chips, but I have reacted twice to the Fritos.

No. I prefer Ruffles however. Ruffles are made with thicker slices of potatos. That's why they are more expensive and are hardly ever on sale.

Also eat Fritos, Cheetos, & Munchos, without regard to manufacturing plant location.

best regards, lm

I've eaten quite a few large party-size bags of original Lay's without a problem but the small single serve bags get me every time. I suspect it's cross contamination because I don't get violently ill like I do when I ingest gluten but I definitely have a few familiar and rather annoying symptoms for a couple of days. I've never checked to see which plant the chips are made in but that's very interesting...

I cannot resist potato chips, but Utz are my go-to bag.

They are less greasy than Lays original and are labeled as gluten-free and I have not had a problem with them.

(Its also nice that they were a pre-diagnosis food I could keep around, so it feels a bit more special... as cheesy as that sounds)

Yes it was--with gluten-free right on the bag. I mentioned it because I know you're having ongoing problems.

I appreciate it thanks.

Maybe its time for 100% baby formula sans chips.

Oh potatoes, why do you have to be so delicious?

I eat lays all the time with no symptoms. But my symptoms are faint and hard to detect, (Mood swings, being ready to kill someone at the drop of a hat... And extreme hyperness.) except for the silly thing. I get really silly... (aka, drawing a rocket ship on my brothers knee...)

Lay's Natural Corn and Potato chips made me sick for several months until I figured it out. :(

What's worse, when I called the company, they assured me that cross contamination was not a possibility and that the Natural chips were produced in a gluten free facility. :angry:

Well, their web sights contradicts that....

"The above products do not contain gluten; however, they are produced on the same line as our products that do contain gluten. Although the lines are washed between batches, a slight residue may remain on the lines. Individuals who are extremely sensitive may be affected."

I avoid all LAYs products now, and encourage everyone else to do the same.

Of all the mainstream companies Frito Lay is the one I postively hate the most. They have made us so sick so many times and the reps will lie their butts off to sell a product. I do so wish something could be done to make companies like this more responsible. Sometimes I wish I could get a large group of us together, have a feast on their products in the home office and then camp out for a week with a portajohn or two in the presidents office. Maybe 50 or so green, grouchy, blistered, puking, dizzy people fighting to get into the john and leaving diarhea trails across their thousand dollar carpeting might wake them up. .........

I hate it when we get conflicting information from companies..... :angry:

I called Frito-Lay several months ago, and the rep told me that the only chips that were made on dedicated equipment are the Stax--and they are marked "natutally gluten free" on the tubes.

I specifically asked about the Naturals, because I loved the Natural Ruffles and the Thick Sea Salt--she said the natural line was not made on dedicated equipment.

This is also the info they give on their website.

      Gluten food test strips

      I just recently saw something on this. Has anyone tried test strips? Which brand is better? Not sure how they really work and if they really do work. Thank you, Nancy (aka Borky)

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      Hello @Midwesteaglesfan and welcome. A result greater than 10 U/mL is considered positive. Some labs use 15 as the cutoff, but 34 is in the positive. The endoscopy and biopsy is looking for damage to your small intestine. I don't don't think 5 days is enough to repair the damage. This comment is effectly your answer, regardless of your biopsy...

      Hello @Midwesteaglesfan and welcome. A result greater than 10 U/mL is considered positive. Some labs use 15 as the cutoff, but 34 is in the positive.  The endoscopy and biopsy is looking for damage to your small intestine.  I don't don't think 5 days is enough to repair the damage. This comment is effectly your answer, regardless of your biopsy results.  The endoscopy has been the Gold Standard diagnostic, and most healthcare providers won't diagnose celiac disease until your intestinal lining Marsh Score reaches stage 3. You don't really want to wait for the damage to get worse, especially since only five days mostly gluten free gave you relief.  Yes, migranes is one of the 200 symptoms that may be caused by Celiac Disease. Malabsorption Syndrome is often comorbid with celiac disease.  The western diet is deficient in many vitamins and minerals.  That's why gluten processed foods are fortified.  Gluten free processed foods are not; Vitamin D deficiency is a virtual given.  40 to 60% of the industrial population is deficient in vitamin D, Damage to the intestinal lining from celiac disease can decrease the number of vitamin D receptors.  So now you get no vitamin D from the sun (skin cancer scare) the major source of vitamin D, plus absorbtion from food is poor because of intestinal damage.   Low iodine intake is getting more of a concern because the major source of iodine used to be bread (dough conditioner with iodine was stopped in the US in the 1970s), dairy (lactose intolerance from eating quick pickles with vinegar instead of fermented pickles which supply lactase excreting lactobacillus to improve Lactose intolerance. Commercial Dairies have wheat, barley and rye added to the cow feed. Some say they are sensitive to milk protein, but it is the gluten added to supplement the cow feed to increase milk production that becomes part of the milk protein causing the problem.  And people use less iodized salt.  In the US intake of iodine dropped 50% from 1970 to 1984. Switch to Grass fed only milk and consider supplementing Liquid Iodine drops to your diet.  The omega 6 to omega 3 ratio of commercial milk is 5:1; Organic milk is 3:1 and grass fed milk is 1:1. The typical western diet is around 14:1, optimum for humans is 1:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1 omega 6:3.  Choose vegetables lower in omega 6, it is inflammatory. Eat fermented foods and switch to Grass fed only milk.  Some say they are sensitive to milk protein, but it is the gluten added to supplement the cow feed to increase milk production that becomes part of the milk protein.

      At 41 years old I have been fighting fatigue and joint pain for a couple months.  My family doctor kept saying nothing was wrong but I was insistent that I just didn’t feel right.  Finally after running several blood labs, one came back showing inflammation in my body and I was referred to a rheumatologist.  He was extremely thorough and sat with me and my family for a good hour asking questions and listening. He ordered X-rays of all my joints and more bloodwork.  He suspected some sort of reactive inflammatory arthritis.  My TTG (Tissue Transglutaminase) came back at 34. he told me to try going gluten free and out me on Salfasalzin to help the join inflammation.  Over the next couple days going gluten free and doing a lot of research and talking to people with celiacs,  we found that I should have an upper endoscopy for insurance purposes in the future.  I reached back out to my rheumatologist and expressed this concern and he got back to me stating I was correct and resume regular gluten diet and stop the medication until after that scope.     They were able to schedule me in for 2 days later.  I had been gluten free, or as close to it as I could be for about 5 days.  I know I ate some brats with it but wanted to use them up.  My symptoms had gotten slightly better in those 5 days.  I felt less fatigue and joint pain was slightly better(it had gotten really bad) so for these last 2 days I’ve gone crazy with wheat bread, pasta and such.  I’m hoping those 5 days didn’t screw this endoscopy up.  I can’t imagine after a life of gluten, my intestines healed in 5 days and after eating gluten again for these couple days,  my stomach hurts, joint pain is coming back up so I know the inflammation is there.   Hinesight after this diagnosis, I have had chronic migraines since my late teens.  Has that been a lingering symptom of celiacs all these years?  I’ve never really had the stomach issues, for me it came in heavy these last couple months as the fatigue, just always feeling tired and exhausted.  And the joint pain.     So getting in the car for the 2 hour drive to the hospital for this scope now.     Wish me luck!

      To play it safe, use Vasoline Lip Therapy. No questions as to it containing gluten.
