Oops. Mixed Up Doritos

Man, what was I thinking! I goofed and ate Doritos Nacho Cheese. A friend offered them to me, and I was so hungry I forgot it was not the Nacho Cheese, but Cool Ranch and a few of the other Doritos flavors that are gluten-free. My dd with celiac had them also! That was Wednesday. Then Friday afternoon I was eating more Doritos Nacho Cheese from the leftovers she gave me and happened to flip the bag over to see the word "Wheat" glaring at me. What! How could I have been so careless; I'm usually so careful! Did Doritos Nacho Cheese used to be gluten-free?

Now it's Saturday, and my stomach is in knots; I've been exiled to another room in the house due to the noxious fumes escaping from my body. I dread how my dd will feel! I usually have reactions faster than this. I ate from Chili's gluten-free menu today, and I don't think that was the problem. I've never had a problem with Chili's gluten-free menu. Does it sometimes take one day or more to start having noticeable reactions? Anyway, I'm dreading what the next few weeks will bring! I guess it's time to rest up.

I'm so sorry about the Doritos. I hope that you get through this with lighter symptoms. I'll be joining you. I've got that old familiar feeling again after eating at a friend's house. How is your little girl feeling?

My daughter's doing okay. She didn't eat many Doritos. In fact, I ate my serving Friday and most of hers. Thank goodness it was me rather than her!

Thank you for posting this! I'm new to the disease/intolerance (haven't exactly figured it out yet) and I remember a friend telling me Doritos were okay (she has 3 kids with Celiacs). So, on a binge I grabbed a small bag at the gas station this afternoon and scarfed em down without even bothering to look at the ingredients :unsure:. Then, as I'm down to the crumbs I decide to take a look, mostly just out of habit now (although I need to make it more of a habit to look BEFORE I indulge) and that darn word "WHEAT" just jumps right out at me. Incidentally, a half hour later the darn chips are causing pain, nausea, and fatigue...I am miserable and at work for another 4.5 hours and then have to go to a second job at 6:00 :wacko:

Sorry..just had to get that off my chest. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who has made that mistake...

Yeah way back when I started, I remember being told Doritos were safe as well. So I went to a vending machine once, optimistically bought some...and then, since I usually like triple-checking always, noticed the "wheat" thing. And then I think I just left them in the machine. <_< Waste of money.

Not sure where the "Doritos are safe" myth comes from...unless, like you said, because some flavors ARE safe (which I was unaware of).

Dorito's "Cool Ranch" flavor is gluten free last time I checked just aa few months ago. However the "Nacho Cheese" flaor is not. Some other flavors are in fact gluten free as well. I have a list from Frito-Lay which I printed off their website to keep on hand of their gluten free snacks. Just copy and paste the link below or go to their website most likely under allergens. I wish they would make the nacho cheese flavor gluten-free since it is my son's favorite and only kind he will it. Thank goodness for Cheetoe and Cheesepuffs!!

And oh, anyone with kids looking for a GREAT nutritious snack bar that is gluten free and actually tastes GREAT, Try "CanDoKid Bars", they actually taste like a candy bar with 9 grams of protein, free of high fructose corn syrup and 70% organic. I had a hard time finding a bar my child would eat. These are great, my hubby and I eat them!

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill...

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free.
