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..............

That's terrific! Thank you...I don't react to Lays, but was starting to get a little scared when I heard all the posts about people reacting...good to know :)

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
