I know a lot of the LAY'S chips are gluten free, but I am not sure about the LAY'S Kettle Cooked Meyer Lemon & Rosemary Flavored Potato Chips? I just bought them today and had a few, but when I checked Lay's website, they were not listed in the gluten-free section. Does anyone know if these are in fact gluten free? Thanks!

Are there any gluten ingredients listed on the package? The potato chips are only potato, so no gluten. The plain lays (and other plain chips like Frito's, Ruffle's, etc) only have salt on them, so no gluten. It's the seasoning powder that sometimes contain gluten ingredients. So that's what you have to look at carefully. Gluten ingredients are not difficult to identify, there's only so many. Wheat, wheat starch, malt extract, malt flavoring. Am I missing something folks?

Of course there's other ingredients that aren't gluten related but still are not tolerated by some. Or, they just have a thing about ingredients that sound like chemicals or additives. But that's a whole 'nother issue, not gluten.

And then there's the risk of cross contamination with anything produced in a plant with other gluten containing products. Some won't take that risk period. Some have taken the risk and gotten sick and so are more carefull now. Some, I'm one, don't worry about it until and if they get sick and can definately, for sure blame that product.

best regards, lm

"Wheat, wheat starch, malt extract, malt flavoring. Am I missing something folks? "

We also need to watch out for natural flavors, a common way to sneak in barley malt. Carmel coloring which can be derived by 'browning' any starch needs to be checked, if it's just says carmel thats not a concern because it is cane sugar derived (unless the rules changed). That said the amount of gluten would be small but some of us do react.

In medications we need to be careful of starch, dextrin, dextrose, glucose all may be wheat derived and there are no regs requiring that they have to say so. In a food product it will, or should say if it is wheat derived.

      @Izelle, you are welcome! It is important to know that beginning the gluten-free diet or even a reduced gluten diet previous to celiac testing will invalidate the testing. One should seek out testing before experimenting with eliminating gluten. Also, remember that celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune disease. When a celiac consumes gluten it triggers an autoimmune response that damages the lining of the small bowel. That can be confusing to a lot of people because it is an autoimmune response that involves food. So, allergy testing is of no use in diagnosing celiac disease. Of course, people can also have allergies to wheat, barley or rye (the three gluten-containing grains) but that is an entirely different immune system response.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello Suze and welcome to the forum. Can you tell us which country you are posting from?  The reason I ask is that in some countries, it is quite a good idea to be tested for coeliac disease because if it turns out you are a coeliac, you will be given additional support by the government.  For example if you live in the UK, the NHS offers support from a nutritionist, DEXA bone scans to check for osteoporosis/osteopenia to which coeliacs are sometimes prone, additional vaccinations against certain illnesses, annual reviews with a gastroenterologist to check for dietary compliance and possible health complications, and, in some regions, a prescription to help with the purchase of gluten free bread and other staples, which can be pricey. Another example is Italy.  According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, in Italy, coeliacs are given up to 140 Euros a month to buy specifically gluten free food.  (Source: https://celiac.org/gluten-free-living/global-associations-and-policies/policies-around-the-world/#:~:text=Diagnosed celiacs receive vouchers to,to deal with celiac disease.) But with regards to your white blood cells, my levels were similarly low from memory a couple of years ago during a period of quite high stress.  It was picked up in a pre-op blood test.  But nobody blinked an eyelid at the results.  A few months later at my coeliac review with my gastroenterologist the levels had normalised.  As you are concerned, do raise it with your doctor, but it could well just be a blip as it was in my case.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Hello, I am new here and currently on my 3rd week of gluten-free and finally starting to feel better after 5 months of pain, IBS symptoms, and losing 1 and a half stone.  I also have low white blood cells and wondered if it might be related.  Just wanted to share! I've been tested for autoimmune diseases and had stool tests, blood tests and all fine (apart from white blood cells are at 3.0). Doc wants to retest for Celiac but I need to be eating gluten and quite frankly, I really don't want to!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.
