"gluten Free" Kettle Chips Always Get Me...

What gives ? The bag says gluten free but my intestinal tract says otherwise !

 

A few months ago I tried the (gluten free) BBQ flavor and next thing I knew I had headaches & gut cramps...ugh, just let me lie down & leave me alone.

 

So, I'm in Costco the other day and I see the baked plain Kettle chips and the bag says gluten free...so I think, well maybe it was something else or maybe it was the full fat chips. I so wanted to believe ! Anyway, I had a small bowl each of the last 3 nights and headaches and such resumed. Ok, so I'm a little slow, the reactions were mild enough but as I look back I see I wasn't good company the last 3 nights and my tummy has been grumpy...and I've taken a lot of Tylenol. This am it has hit me full force.

 

So...I'm thinking - either I'm really sensitive or the term "gluten free" is pretty loosely defined. Or Kettle chips just suck... <_<

 

Anyone else have a similar experience with Kettle chips or other so called gluten-free products ? I know when I was in England last year I got hit by some of the "Free From" products...it was only after I was back home that I found out the level of tolerance (ppm of allowable gluten) was higher there.

me too! 

both me and my son definitely react to Kettle chips. I thought it was just the sour cream and onion, but also the plain.

does anyone have any recommendation for safe potato chips from Trader Joe's (particularly in the crisp Kettle chip or Cape Cod chip style?)

I would suggest frying your own. That is what i am gonna do. With full fledge coconut oil and fryer i am gonna make my own tater chips. Let them soak to get off the starch so they wont create those chemicals. Acrylamide i think it is called.

      Another conversation with ChatGPT about hookworms

      I suppose it's all in how you ask the question. I just asked ChatGPT how much it would cost to resolve my gut issues the way hookworms have, and ChatGPT's response was "$15,000–$30,000/year for the most plausible UC biologic/small-molecule route, or $10,000–$40,000+/year for omalizumab-style allergy modulation". That assumes such medication actually wor...

      Another conversation with ChatGPT about hookworms

      My question to ChatGPT: Is purposeful Hookworm infection a reasonable treatment for those who have many food intolerance issues, including those with gluten intolerance who want to eat gluten? Answer: No — purposeful hookworm infection is not a reasonable or medically accepted treatment for broad food intolerance, gluten intolerance, or for p...

      It may help to bring the clearest photos, avoid squeezing or digging at the bumps, and ask your doctor whether a skin scraping, culture, biopsy, or parasite/fungal evaluation would be appropriate based on what they see.

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Hi  Sorry not been on for a while. My daughter had a recent hospital stay as went to GP with slight blurred vision, lower back pain and tingling in hands and feet, slight balance problems. GP wanted to rule out stroke. Had recently started Vit B12 medication as blood test showed really low level of 30, folate was 2.2. Was admitted for 4 days, various tests including head CT ruled out stroke but was commenced on B12 injections instead of tablets. Had follow up MRI 5 weeks ago and she is now being referred to neurology as possible transient lesion seen on frontal lobe, so something else to worry about. Hoping it’s all connected to her B12 levels. Her tingling seemed to settle after getting injections 3 times/ week for two weeks and has just had her 2nd monthly dose but a week late and felt the tingling coming back just before that.Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.  Thanks for reading and sorry to be a pain!!!!

      1 Year Elimination Diet journey

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      It has been a year since I started my Elimination diet from gluten. I have learned alot w/o being diagnosed (going through eating gluten for a test isn't happening) The first month or so were learning curve and I have learned to READ LABELS which are tricky as not just gluten but possibly wheat may affect you or other Gluten containing ingredients that are spelled out. I have found great protein bars w/o sugar alcohols as I noticed those increased gas. I have taken vitamins as suggested by members on this board. Started baking gluten free, when going out I have found gluten friendly restaurants. I have felt so much better since eliminating gluten/sugar alcohols. It is hard to find sugar free products but I limit myself to gluten free snacks as they have high sugar etc. I have been using Bobs Red Mill gluten-free oatmeal and One Degree Farmers oatmeal but I am looking to try some new breakfast ideas like Buckwheat or a great gluten-free cereal. Journey still continues and learning more and more.

Since you mentioned cats, it’s also worth asking about possible flea bites, mites, ringworm, or other pet-related skin issues, and checking with a veterinarian if your cats have itching or hair loss. Also, please tell your doctor about the topiramate change, meningioma, and the garlic, especially since you were told not to eat garlic. Even if your husband doesn’t see what you see, your symptoms are real and deserve a careful medical evaluation.

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you have an allergy or separate intolerance to quinoa, but there is the slight possibility it was somehow cross-contaminated with wheat, even though it was certified gluten-free.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Unless gluten exposure is happening on a regular basis, it is doubtful that blood antibodies would show up elevated in testing. It takes time for them to build up to detectable levels.
