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!

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
