Baked Kettle Chips...bbq Flavor

[NorthernElf]

I'm away with family so naturally my diet (and stomach) are not normal ! Anyway, I bought some of these baked Kettle Chips the other day - Hickory Honey BBQ flavor - and here come the stomach cramps, midnight nausea, etc. They do say gluten free on them but I honestly cannot see what else could have gotten me.

Anyone out there have problems with these ???

I have on two occasions now. At first, I considered it a possible reaction to the sunflower/safflower oil. Then I read that such a reaction is fairly rare. I'm betting it was a contamination issue. These chips are amazing, but I won't be trying them again. Gonna learn to make my own chips - doesn't seem like it would be that tough.

I tried the Kettle Brand last year and did not feel well but was also drinking Orange Juice around the same time (have a problem with Orange Juice) so I wasn't sure if I was really reacting to the chip or just the OJ.

I purchased the Lightly Salted Bag couple nights ago. If I eat a couple chips I feel okay but if I eat more then a couple I start to feel funny and my stomach starts to get upset. So not really sure, they say they are gluten free and everything looks safe. I don't plan on buying anymore though any time soon, not worth it.

Hope you feel better!!

Thanks for the replies - boy this sure is tough sometimes. You'd think when something is blatantly labelled "gluten free" that it would actually not have gluten in it (hence the gluten-free status).

I'm finding these days that I am avoiding processed foods more & more, making my own stuff more & more. The only chips I have had consistent success with is Lays Stacks...I guess because no gluten is in the factory as they are made differently than other chips. *sigh* It's not like chips are necessary, I just like them.

Maybe I should just stick with my Riceworks.
