Yeah, Tostitos leave me feeling a little yuck. I like Mission Corn Tortilla chips... more like strips. :huh: A little more expensive, but IMO much better and they've never bothered me. Lay's Stax are also supposed to be made on dedicated lines, last I checked, if you want a potato chip.

We eat Stax and Kettle brand potato chips. Both say gluten free on package.

Terra chips are my gluten-free (and corn-free) favorite :P

Check out UTZ QUALITY FOODS, Hanover, Pa. 17331 .... They clearly mark the chip bags, "This is a Gluten Free Food"... Great Chips....

Stax are made on a dedicated line. There is no risk of CC. Frito corn chips are gluten free but not made on a dedicated line. Some people have issues with Frito Lay products because of this. My own son gets leg cramps when he eats too much Lays.

I agree with UTZ's chips...they are good. I can't eat Kettle chips, they make me sick. I tried them when I was on vacation in Mich, because they do not have UTZ there.

I used to eat regular Lays chips all the time, never had a problem with them...the bags from Plano Texas are ok...but, they changed their oil from sunflower/safflower oil to sunflower/corn oil, I won't touch them anymore.

i eat tostitos quite often (twice just this week already) because i had looked it up and they were considered a safe food. according to the website they still are? where did you see they are no longer safe?

jasonD2 Experienced

well they are not made on dedicated lines and some people feel ill after eating them...ive been eating them on the road recently and my gluten antibody was high on my retest so there may be a connection but cant say for sure

My husband and I shop at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods a lot. TJ's is very good at marking their gluten free foods (including potato and corn chips) with a little "g" for gluten free. They literally have dozens if not hundreds of foods on their gluten free food list which you can download from their website. Whole Foods also has dedicated gluten free sections.

I don't know if you live close to a Trader Joe's or a Whole Foods, but if so, that's my suggestion.

I didn't see them mentioned yet, but Open Original Shared Link chips are amazing corn chips which come in a large variety of flavors and are certified gluten-free. My personal favorites are the olive or the jalepeno, but like I said, there are tons to choose from and they are very very tasty!

My absolute favorite chips are Xochitl corn chips. They say they are gluten-free right on the package and are made with non-GMO, organic corn. They are a bit pricey, but worth it to me. They sell them at Whole Foods as well as some mass grocery stores.

I LOVE "food should taste good" chips... they are so yummy and don't have yucky ingredients!

I just got an order from their website. Single serve bags for back to school.

Oops! They made a boo boo. You can order 60 assorted or bags of your choice of items. I did my choice but it seems instead of 10 bags of honey BBQ chips, they sent crab. Apparently daughter doesn't like crab. She put them in a basket and she's giving them to her dad for his birthday. Hehehe.

Rice Works and Lundburg chips are amazing! 100% Gluten free. But if you're allergic to corn, (for anybody on here who is) don't eat them. But Cheecha Krackles are great if you can't eat corn!

i believe FSTG and kettle contains dairy.

do stax, mission and tostitos contain GM foods?

riceworks and lundberg contain sesame.

has anybody tried deep river or proper crisps or ten acre?
all 3 contain some allergens.
i believe ten acre contains soy.. becos they are GFDF.
i believe deep river contains dairy.

so, can anybody recommend brands of allergen-free chips/crisps?

I think it depends on what you are " allergic" to.  Maybe ask for chips without your allergens?  People can be allergic to anything.  

 

I would think plain chips would not have dairy, but maybe flavored one.  Just potato, oil and salt.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.
    • Samanthaeileen1
      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms? 
    • Wheatwacked
      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.  
    • Samanthaeileen1
      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
