Potatoe Chips

I've been on the gluten free diet for 3 days only and I'm trying to figure all this out. I've been noticing that most "regular" chips have no wheat or what is considered gluten. Does that mean they are gluten free or what I'm wondering is could there be a good chance of c/c ??

I just dont know anymore what's good or not :(

thanks

Rachael

Lays plain chips are gluten free, as well as many other varieties. If you are allergic to corn, you might want to choose another brand. In the future, go to Google and type in the product you are interested in and "gluten free." Most of the time you will find something on it, either from this list or the company. You will find that your best friend will become the Internet - and your own ability to research. There are tons of posts on products on this site and you can research it right through the site's own search engine. (I am not discouraging you to post questions, just encouraging you to research everything you eat.) There were things I was continuing to eat, like Ore-Ida Crispers - if I would have researched it, I would have saved myself a lot of grief. Good luck! It isn't easy, but worth every bit of effort. In time, you won't even need to think about what you can eat, as you will have your diet in a good place and you will be happy with what is on your menu. You will continue to uncover new and wonderful things that you LOVE and hopefully will become very satisfied and fulfilled with your diet. Personally, I couldn't live without my chips!

Here is the gluten free list:

Products Not Containing Gluten

Holly provided a great list. Please note at the bottom of the list is a statement regarding Lays Staxx manufactured on dedicated lines and are considered FREE OF GLUTEN.

The rest of the extensive listing does not say FREE OF GLUTEN, but MAY be subject to cross contamination during production. Some people here are sensitive to Lays Products, others are not.

Utz chips say gluten free on the bag. My family loves them!

Just because I am totally anal retentive :o , I will mention that the Lays list posted above is out of date. The most current list on the frito lay website was updated 11/13/08. There are quite a few discrepancies between the two.

We have never had a problem with any Lays product in our house, so make your own choice whether to eat them or not. Happy potato chips, everybody!

I like Terra Chips :P

Most of them are only seasoned with sea salt, but do check the ingredients.

I will make sure I dig deeper before posting another list - I am so sorry! I don't want to gluten anyone.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
