Lays Potatoe Chip Question

I was feeling bette till after I ate some Lays Potatoe chips today. I was out and bought a bag of the regular lays potatoe chips. the ingredients were potatoes, cottonseed, safflower and/or sunflower oil, salt. I thought they would be safe and did not want to buy anything else in the store. I had just had 4 tubes of blood taken and felt a little hungry. Anway...whatever the reson...I ate them and thought I would be ok.....a half hour after eating them I started to get dizzy, weak, racing heart and sour stomach. I also started to get bloated. I felt like I needed to lay down! What is going on? It is now almost 3 hours later and I still feel bad. My gut hurts and is sore and swollen. I feel a little less dizzy but am trying not to think about it as I am moving tomorrow and the moving truck is being packed up today. There is just too much going on right now and if I need to collapse I can do it tonight at bed time. My flight is tomorrow afternoon. Gotta get this stuff out of my systme so that I can pull myself together for all that lies ahead.

do you think it was cross contaminated? maybe one of the oils? Canola oil doens't seem to bother me but this wasn't made with it. Soybean oil is a no-no but I thought these would be ok?

Anyone have any ideas or any of the same reactions?

Thanks,

"*The above products do not contain gluten nor casein; however, they are produced on the same line as our products that do contain gluten and casein. Although the lines are washed between batches, a slight residue may remain on the lines. Individuals who are extremely sensitive may be affected. "

No one in my family eats Frito-Lay products due to that statment right there.

It really is up to you if you eat them. Lots of people do but if you felt stick maybe it's best to skip them. I know I react to them.

yeah this seems to be one of the products where the warning is real. i personally don't get sick very often and i have off of their chips so i don't eat them anymore.

Yea I do know people that have reacted to them. They are produced in the same lines as gluten containing products so there is a risk for cross contamination. I personally eat their products and have not got sick off of them and I am very sensitive to small amounts of gluten but other people have reacted and if you get sick don't eat them.

my rule of thumb is that if they make you feel sick, then don't eat them again... there could have been slight cross-contamination and I wouldn't risk it again if you have already gotten sick from them ... Hope you feel better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Given your reaction I certainly would not tell you to eat the chips again, but as of a few months ago the plain chips, plain Ruffles, Stax and plain Fritoes were made on dedicated lines. This was from a Lay's dietician.

I never scrolled down far enough to see that there was a products area for posting.....I was wondering where my post went.

thanks for your responses. I guess I am one of the ultrasensitive people!

I am still feeling sick today and depressed over the whole situation! I just want to cry. I am moving today....flying up to JFK with my dog then driving to NJ and really don't feel up to it. I'll be doing this alone as my husband is driving with a truck and helper.

I think I am also a little angry and disgusted with this whole situation. I have been trying to go gluten-free for about 3 months and keep getting sick.

I keep thinking..."how did this all happen?" "why is by body failing me?"

OK....here come the tears and the pity party!

sorry.........just really tired and stressed...mostly disgusted today.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better..............

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      Celiac getting dentures

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
