Although Frito Lay does not add gluten in SOME of their products, they do not guarantee that they are safe from cross contamination. A possible CYA statement. But, through the years that I have been here, I have heard numerous accounts of sensitive people with Celiac becoming ill with their non-gluten products.

Guess you need to use the "try and see" approach. Everyone is different. I have never had a problem. with Lays Products. Lay's Staxx are produced on a dedicated line. They might be a better avenue.

I tried eating Lay's chips and Fritos - the ingredient list does not contain gluten, true, but I got sick every time I tried. Must be cross-contamination from the factories.

I have had the lays and fritos and do not ever have a problem with it. I must be lucky.

Lays chips, with the exception of the Stax line, are produced on shared lines with gluten containing products. They state that they clean thoroughly between batches, but that some residue may remain.

Personally, for me it's hit or miss with them so I stick with the Stax.

I haven't had a problem with the varieties that are soy free like Ruffles.

"lays salted is never tested for Gluten Free claim, however we are not adding gluten though our seasoning or oil. Our ingredients are natural potatoes, edible vegetable oil and pure salt".

this is from thier division located in Saudia Arabia..i live in the middle east..gluten-free diet is new phenomena in this region and products manufatured locally do not carry a lot of allergy info....pls help......

You may try contacting Pepsico or Frito Lay North America and see if they can clarify the response. I think they are telling you they are gluten-free.

Another idea you might try (but it is a lot of trouble to go to) is to make your own potato chips.

If you have a mandoline, you can slice them really thin and then use a deep fryer to get a kind of chip. They are not the same crispy light things that come in a bag, but at least you don't have to worry about gluten.

You can spice them too or even use different kinds of potatoes-- even sweet potatoes!

But if you have abunch of little kids, I can definitely see why you would want to go with the bags.

      gluten-free stool softener needed for after surgery

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
