Real Potato Chips

Since going gluten-free, there have been a few times, where I just wanted some real chips to go with my naked burger, or with my sandwich. I've switched to tortilla chips, or rice chips, all of the varieties, but it never completely scratches my itch for potato chips. Finally, i found what i've been looking for. Utz chips. Not the regular ones, but Utz Natural potato chips. It says right on the bag, THIS IS A GLUTEN FREE FOOD! They're made in Hanover, PA, which is right up the road from where I am. So if anyone out there has been craving a real potato chip and didn't want to risk it with brands that don't state gluten-free on the package....these are great, and normally priced too! They might only be sold in the mid-atlantic area, but i have found it to be a safe and cheap alternative...especially for parties, then you know you can eat them and glutenivore can't tell they are eating gluten-free food. they have lots of varieties, i prefer the reduced salt...perfectly salted.

The vast majority of potato chips, real potato chips, are naturally gluten-free so for those that cannot find the brand your recommend, there are many

others to choose from which will not present a problem. It doesn't have to say gluten free on a package for it to be gluten free.

Hate to break it to both of you.. but your partly wrong.

Almost all brands are either not directly gluten-free, contain other common allergens (many celiacs cannot tolerate), or are cross-contaminated. Popular brands like Utz and Lays seem to be contaminated enough to hurt "moderately sensitive" celiacs.. While Kettle brand seem only to effect the more sensitive end.

Kettle brand is the most popular potato choice, there are a number of good brands of corn chips, and Cassava chips (Arico Foods brand) taste like flavorful potato chips.

It depends on where you get them. In Baltimore there is at least one spot that makes Utz fresh in the market while others are made at the factory (you can go on tours). I love them and eat them whenever I am in Maryland. Sometimes, my family orders them for gifts. We are 3 out of 4 Celiacs and do fine.

finding a chip without gluten is not as hard as finding one without msg in some form or another. It is getting almost impossible

to find snacks without this ingredient in som aka form. Is it common for someone with celiac to be so sensitive to msg as well

Most plain chips consist of potatoes, salt, and some form of oil. There is no MSG in them.

Flavored chips (especially BBQ) may contain MSG or some form of gluten.

Some people, including some people with celiac disease, react to MSG, but there is no correlation between the two sensitivities.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference. I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me. At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university. I went gluten free. I...

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis. While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels. Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten. celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has...

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference.  I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me.  At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university.  I went gluten free.  I started taking vitamins according to my nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Vitamins worked.  My health improved.  Now I'm here to help others.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Doctors don't recognize the symptoms of Celiac disease and malnutrition. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and digestion, improves diabetes and neuropathy and much more.  TTFD (Thiamax or TTFD-B1 Max) helps with brain function, neuropathy and lots more.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to make energy so the cell can function.  Without sufficient thiamine, mitochondria die.  Every cell also needs thiamine and the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine has antiviral and antibacterial properties.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a lot of carbohydrates.  The more carbs one eats the more thiamine is needed to process them into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine, the body stores the carbs as fat. This is called high calorie malnutrition.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a gluten free diet.  Gluten free flours and processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Meats are the best sources of thiamine, but some veggies (beans, potatoes, squash) and fruits (citrus and berries) contain some thiamine.    Explore thiamine more here: https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis.  While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels.  Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten.  celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has to self repair in addition to the nutritional deficiencies.   Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity Dr. Weston Price's research in the 1930s showed that diets rich in minerals and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D3, K2) promoted well-mineralized teeth, while deficiencies led to weaker enamel. Fatty liver, Intermittent diarrhea, Severe abdominal distension Choline deficiency causes abnormal deposition of fat in the liver, which results in a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In some people, choline deficiency causes muscle damage. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline    Choline is a large part if the bile salts for fat digestion, Acetycholine, a neural transmitter, mitochondria membrane structure, and along with folate, B12, and B6 recycles homocysteine  High homocysteine can damage artery linings. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety,  autoimmune diseases and most of your symptoms.
