Glutened By Lay's Sour Cream And Onion

My dd (6) just had gluten diarrhea after eating Lay's Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chips. I see on their website that they are gluten-free. They also have MSG and I was lax in reading the label or I would not have purchased them. But I'm confused about her reaction. It really seemed like gluten D accompanied by stomach pain. Anyone else???

Many members here have said that they react poorly to Frito/Lays products. Only Lays Staxx are producted on dedicated lines and are not subject to possible cross contaimination.

Hope you daughter recovers quickly.

Thanks, that's got to be it. I try to buy Staxx but they are hard to find here and I thought these would be OK. :( Only bright side, she recognized right away what happened and won't eat them again. It is nice when they can see it so clearly even at only age 6!

Sounds like you have a very mature young lady there. ;) Good for her.

I see from your information that both of your daughters are dairy free...and sour cream and onion chips are definately not dairy free...maybe that could be why she reacted badly?

Well...... I have the hardest time with dairy free since I have trouble finding things this picky eater (my 6 yr old) wants to eat and I tend to give in sometimes with the dairy since we have to be so strict with the gluten. She is not allergic to dairy like my other daughter so I think this makes me a little more lax.

That said, you could be right. I will have to pay more attention to whether any other dairy I may give her causes a reaction. The dairy she sometimes ends up with is Parm Cheese, gluten free pizza at b-day parties and the occasional sour cream and onion chips.

Thanks!

I was overjoyed when I saw the gluten-free list they put out. Until I got sick almost everything I ate them. I won't touch their products any longer. The CC issues are just way to frequent.

That's unfortunate. It's certainly more difficult when one has multiple intolerances.

I've recently eaten those sour cream & onion lay's several times with no problems. But I also can eat just about any frito lay product without wheat listed on the label. Never experienced any cross-contamination.

My son also reacts to Lay's products. I will only give him Lay's Staxx. They are hard to find in my area too so when the one store that carries them has them in stock I buy 10 of them.

I can't do the Staxx because of the soy. They just don't like me. I also get sick every time I eat Lay's Classic. I've never gotten sick from Lay's Natural. I can't really tell the difference between the Classic and Natural except the price! The Natural is about $4 a bag.

I wouldn't touch anything from Lay's with a 10-foot pole except the Staxx.

They say the products are Gluten Free, but at the bottom is the statement:

"The above products do not contain gluten; however, they are produced on the same line as our products that do contain gluten. Although the lines are washed between batches, a slight residue may remain on the lines. Individuals who are extremely sensitive may be affected. "

No thanks!! Reminds me of the recent Whole Foods chicken nugget debacle.

I was glutened last time I had Lay's Classic, before that no problem. I'm crossing those off my list. Sigh...

I LOVE the Staxx and rely upon them for munchies. Have had no problem with them. Best place to

get them at best price is Walmart in the chip aisle, usally top shelf, only $1.00 as compared to $1.69 at other grocery stores. I find them at the regular Walmart....haven't been to a superWalmart that

has all of the groceries. Also I have never had a problem at all with Fritos and I appear to be VERY

sensitive. Just thought I'd mention them.

Had a very typical reaction after eating Lay's Sour Cream and Onion Chips. Just did the EZ-Gluten ELISA test on them, and sure enough, they are positive for gluten. (test threshold is 10ppm). Thanks a lot, Lay's, for not mentioning anything about shared equipment or wheat on the package.

This is why it is vital to research every product or company. Lays has two separate lists of products on their website which is easily found by googling "lays gluten free" and is what I do every time I have a hankering for a chip. This page explains that the gluten free products are tested, while the products not containing gluten ingredients may be run on the same lines and may or may not be subject to CC. This is the link to that page if it helps. Open Original Shared Link

 

There is no disclosure policy for shared lines and I am willing to bet that if you eat chips you eat other processed foods. You almost certainly eat food all the time that is made on shared lines without incident. It is not fair to demonize a company who makes this information so easily accessible to us when so many more make us jump through nightmarish hoops to find out if a food is safe. They're pretty clear that those chips may contain gluten due to the processing, and they did. I am sorry that you aren't feeling well but it is hardly Lays fault.

slightly unrelated, but I recently bought a microwave potato chip maker. It is a silicon tray with holes. You slice the potatoes with the mandoline that comes with it then microwave them on the tray for 4-5 min. Makes surprisingly good chips! You can flavor them as you please. I am always worried about getting sick from manufactured ones. These would be fun for kids to make as well. Just keep them away from the mandoline.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By Kris2093u4 · Posted

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
