Lay's Kettle Chips (mesquite Bbq) And St. Ives Apricot Scrub

Hi, I'm new to the gluten-free diet. I'm trying to heal up a horrible rash that looks and acts like DH, but which has given me negative biopsies. I've been gluten-free for a little more than two weeks. The rash began to heal beautifully after I started the diet, but in the past few days, I have broken out all over my body. Again. Sigh. I'm miserable. I'm trying to see what I ate/used that caused the breakout. I've been trying to stick with whole, unprocessed foods and with personal care items that are strictly gluten-free. The only two new things I've used are Lay's Kettle Chips (mesquite BBQ flavor) and some St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub (Invigorating) that I used only on my face. The Kettle Chips are supposed to be gluten-free, but I see from a search of this forum that others have reacted to them. The Facial Scrub's ingredients are below: Did I miss something?

Water, Walnut Shell Powder, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Corn Meal, Cetyl Alcohol, Linoleamide DEA, Cetearyl Alcohol, Sambucus Nigra Extract (elder flower), Glyceryl Stearate, Lanolin Oil, Emulsifying Wax NF, Apricot Kernel Oil, Matricaria Extract, Primrose Extract, Sunflower Extract, Ceteareth-20, PEG-100 Stearate, Triethanolamine, Carbomer, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Fragrance, Titanium Dioxide

I see an obvious corn ingredient, and I have positive blood allergy tests (IgE) to corn, but have never had a reaction to corn in any way, shape or form. I'm baffled. Anyone see something I don't? Thanks a bunch!

I use the Apricot scrub daily with no issues. I have not tried the kettle chips. Ichecked the website and it claims to be gluten-free, but I have reacted to Cheetos, too. I think maybe it's the MSG?

Many of us avoid the flavored Lay's products because of the high risk of CC. For me eating Lay's is like playing roulette, one time I will be fine another I will be sick as a dog so I have learned to avoid them. The facial scrub looks safe and I used to use it with no issues.

Last summer I reacted to the gluten free Kettle chips...it was a definite reaction since it was the only manufactured product I had. I think it was even the flavor you mentioned.

I'd like to know how that can happen - something labelled gluten-free gets us. :(

Kettle chips have always made me sick, and others as well. Don't eat them. Consider that you may also have allergies to soy or corn, or even both.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      @Shining My Light, what do you mean when you say "the blood test not being 100%"? Were you expecting all possible celiac blood antibody tests to be positive in the case of someone who actually does have celiac disease? That seldom, if ever, happens. You are gauging too much on how you feel when you consume gluten and not paying enough attention to test results. If the idea of eating 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily to get 10g of gluten is repulsive to you then go the health food store and buy powdered gluten, weigh it out on a food scale, and make shakes with it. Many report that Gliadin X helps them in a significant way to ward off unpleasant reactions to minor gluten...

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By Shining My Light · Posted

      Hi @RMJ,   Thank you for you input. I really appreciate all view points on this, more than you know.  Maybe I’ve done too much research. One thing I read would point to yes and then along comes all these variables that convinces me that my levels were high because of having a virus.  I don’t like bread or pasta that much but seriously love baked goods.  I’m scared to give those up “for no reason”  I’m also scared to be doing damage to my body.    I’m stuck in a situation where I’m scared and confused either way.    It’s hard for people with silent celiac because you don’t “feel” like you are doing the right thing.    I did see some advertisements on here about Giliad X? Is that a supplement for...

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      Thank you @trents!    I have been going back and forth on some gluten free some days and some days not trying to see if there is any reaction to how I feel.    As much as I don’t want to I think given the blood test not being 100%. It’s fair to say an EGD is necessary.  I do think before I go through with that I would run another TTG IGA if my doctor would approve that. If levels are the same, I have no choice. 😔    In the mean time I’m going to enjoy gluten. The biggest problem I have is the thought of eating 4-6 slices of bread per day. That’s crazy! There has to be something comparable. Possibly an “average” of about that per day? Is there any lists of foods out there that are trade offs? (4...

      Damage with silent celiac exists. I am a silent celiac.  I was tested because I have the gene predisposing to celiac disease and migraines.  All of my antibodies were high (TTG IgA, TTG IgG, DGP IgA, DGP IGG, EMA). I had a biopsy which showed damage. After going gluten free I felt better overall and have more energy. Unfortunately it didn’t help the migraines. Sorry to be blunt and write this, but it sounds like you’re really in denial about the possibility of having celiac disease. Understandable, and not uncommon on this forum.

      Probably celiac but also confused

      Welcome to the forum, @terrymouse! Your GI doc is correct. Going gluten free now will allow healing to occur in the villous lining of the small bowel such that the endoscopy/biopsy may not show the damage to the villous architecture that is characteristic of celiac disease. Since your celiac blood antibody tests results are on the low side and don't "scream" of celiac disease I think it is important to go forward with the endoscopy/biopsy while still consuming gluten to ensure it will not be a wasted effort. The last thing you want is to have two different test modalities that unnecessarily contradict one another. So, unless the continued consumption of gluten poses an immediate and...
