Hi pinkscooby!

I got zapped by a package of the tostitos bite size gold tortilla chips. I was so bummed. I think that you have to be careful with Lays because of CC-- and I have seen more comments to that effect here. I won't buy them again for a really long time, if ever.

On the other hand I have had really good luck with smaller "natural" brands like kettle potato chips.

What about scooby snacks? Are they gluten free?

On the other hand, there are those of us who have never been glutened by Lays. I only eat Lay's Regular Chips or Ruffles Regular Chips--none of the others, and I have never been glutened by them.

For me, the Lay's chips were hit or miss, and I don't feel like taking chances like that. I do eat the Original Flavor Lay's Stax with no problems--not as good as the Natural line, but safe.

That's wierd, 'cause I've never seen or even heard of Tostidos bite size gold tortilla chips. I eat Tostido's 100% white corn bite size chips just about every day. I eat a lot of nachos, and chips with avocado, or cheese & salsa. Also Fritos, Cheetos, Ruffles, and Lay's Kettle Cooked original extra crunchy potato chips (I'm currently on a big binge on these).

Never once have I gotten glutened eating any Frito Lay product! <_< Just my experience.

I get sick every single time I eat doritos. I don't know if its CC or just something in them that doesn't agree with me.

I was overjoyed when I saw the list when first diagnosed also. Unfortunately many here will tell you that they aren't as safe as we need them to be. I would wait until I was fully healed before eating any of their products and when you do try them don't consume anything else risky at the same time. Many eat the plain Lays with no problem but most of the other stuff folks do react to. The choice to risk it is up to you.

Hi Larry Mac :) (I have an uncle who could use the same moniker)

I haven't had trouble with the potato chips either--other than the usual eating too many of them.

Our CUB supermarket carries the bite size gold chips-- they are small rounds and they have a very nice flavor (fairly refined flavor for yellow corn)-- I wonder if they are distributed regionally. Maybe that has something to do with it too.

Or maybe certain products are made on different lines (even at entirely different factories) or it could be the luck of the draw as to which product was made on that equipment before a gluten-free run and how close your particular bag was to the beginning of the new run.

I, like you, am very fond of nachos. Sadly, I haven't had any since (I tend to hold a grudge against a food that made me sick :lol:) I might eat the potato chips- don't much like cheetos (it's the nasty orange finger prints that get me.) But now I might give the white corn bite size a try in a bit (maybe in a few months). Thanks for the info.

Thank you pinkscooby

For the extenisve list of many things I thought were on the NO NO list. I know I recently read the Pringles label and found out they do have "wheat" listed. But, at least it was listed. I tend to stick to low salt plain potatoe chips and tortilla chips. Interesting to know now I can add things like Cheetos. Which I might feel like once or twice a year.

Thanks again for obtaining and copy/posting the listing. I am just assuming that the Canadian production lines are the same :ph34r: , as I realize that most of the members here, 80% odd are from the States.

The only Pringles I've found that don't list wheat are the fat free ones. But I'm a little afraid of those as they contain Olestra. I have eaten them without incident. However, I don't think I need any potential diarreah sources as I seem to have that area covered pretty well.

Frito Lay Staxx don't have wheat, although they are not near as good as Pringles IMO.

I wonder if Frito-Lay products vary in safety by region. At a support group meeting, someone told me that the products processed in the Plano, Texas plant were safer than other Frito-Lay products. This was only her subjective opinion based on eating Frito-Lay products on road trips that had been processed at other plants.

Since I live in Austin, most of the Frito-Lay products available to me are from the Plano plant. I have never reacted. I do check to make sure I'm buying Plano processed product before I purchase.

I'm curious where the chips that caused reactions were processed...

They do! It was my favorite snack before dx.

But there are some kinds that don't... maybe she means one of those.

Yep the white natural kind do not have wheat. We have had those but not recently.

Probably not many since most of the flavors say cheese or sour cream. I like plain anyway.

I wish they would put this info on the bags it would have saved me a lot of misery early in the diet.

Me too! <_< Other than the Stax, I don't chance them anymore.

That would be really interesting to test some time.

My daughter is pretty extra sensitive and ate some of the fritos corn chips a couple days ago and got so sick off of them, I felt awful. If there was a plant that made them with less potential CC, that would really awesome to find out, ya know?

I know this is an old post, but maybe this will help someone. I was looking into Frito's bean dip and it looks like their policies have changed since last year. There are a few more varieties that are tested for gluten. It sounds as though the top group are ran on dedicated lines and the bottom group is not, but I have not confirmed this.

From their site: Open Original Shared Link

Some people suffer from an intolerance to foods containing gluten, which is a type of protein found in wheat, rye and barley. Frito-Lay has validated through analytical testing that the following products contain less than 20 ppm of gluten.

Please note: The information provided pertains only to products made and distributed in the U.S. Products sold in other countries under similar brands may be made using slightly different recipes and ingredients to accommodate local needs and preferences.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
