Kettle Chips

Just need to start out by saying that I LOVE Kettle Chips!

Anyway, I live in Europe, where my local supermarket stocks Kettle Chips - but only in the Balsamic Vinegar and the Sea Salt flavors. I've noticed that the labels clearly state GLUTEN FREE.

I'm back in the U.S. right now for the holidays and headed out to Whole Foods last night and fell upon the potato chips section with about a zillion different flavors of Kettle Chips! Unfortunately, none of the bags have the "gluten-free" label on them! I went to their website and it says that the chips are made in a facility that also handles wheat...anyone have any nasty reactions? I just bought the Yogurt & Green Onion flavor and I'm hoping to be able to eat it...

On another note, I was meeting up with a friend in Paris and found myself near another supermarket that has an even bigger stock of Kettle Chips than my local supermarket....that is, they have many more flavors besides the Balsamic Vinegar and the Sea Salt (Black Pepper, Tomato Salsa, Cheese & Onion, etc) and noticed that while all of the bags are labeled "gluten-free", (and some of them are listed "Safe for Coeliacs") some of the ingredients listed include "wheat starch"! I was going to buy a couple of the other flavors to try them out, but hesitated when I saw the wheat starch listing. Don't know if anyone (from the UK, maybe?) has tried any of these other flavors and had any problems?

I am not from the UK, so I can't help you there, but I can tell you that the Salt & Pepper ones glutened us, big time! It was a nasty glutening. The ingredients read clean, so it must have been a "shared line" type of contamination or something. We are very, very sensitive to even the tiniest amounts.

I am in the US too, and I eat two brands of Kettle Chips, both marked gluten free. I am not sure how the other brands are.

Hmmm. That's kind of a bummer....I wonder why the Kettle Chips in Europe are marked as gluten free, but the US ones aren't??

Oh, well. I decided it was too risky to eat the yogurt and green onion chips, so I gave them to my husband instead (who loved them). :(

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
