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.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      My vitamin D is a bit low, but now too low, and I have just started taking 5000 IU again. In the past I have done 50.000 IUs at times to get the levels up higher, and might try that again, after I speak to my doc this week.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Treen · Posted

      Wow. Okay. I’m definitely going with private testing. And since my sister was diagnosed just last month, I’ll have her as a great resource. I’m otherwise in excellent health for a 60 year old woman. No diabetes, normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I work out regularly, although I’m too thin because I’m afraid of food. I appreciate both of your helpful, informative insights - Scott Adams and @plumbago.  I’ll let you know the results of my panel (giving blood sample on Wednesday) here on this thread.

      Celiac disease was considered a pre-existing condition that affected costs before the ACA, and I was paying life insurance premiums at age 45 that a 70 year old would have to pay because of it (this was back when it was my only diagnosis--not that case now).  I don't disagree with @plumbago's approach here either, but just keep in mind, it will be on your PERMANENT RECORD!😉 On top of this, a majority of job applications that I've see in the past couple or years include "celiac disease" as a pre-existing condition that the employer requires you to disclose--do you have the same shot at the job if you say yes?:

      Treen, I'm not sure I totally understand, but if I were you, while you still can, get your doctor to run the celiac blood test panel (the complete one) now, and if any of those tests turn out to be positive, get him or her to order you an endoscopy with biopsy. Do this while you still have insurance that will cover the cost! If it turns out to be positive, it seems your worry is that you would not then be able to get health insurance after 2025 because celiac, you say, is a pre-existing condition? Being in the state (I am from there, btw), you no doubt have observed the rate of metabolic disease in the population, conditions that are far more emblazoned in neon lights that say "pre-existing!" than Celiac, I would think. Meaning, it's quite likely that a near-majority would have pre-existing conditions. You might not even be denied. If I were you I'd reach out to either UAB (below) or the Alabama celiac facebook group with your concerns, and even research the topic - was Celiac considered a pre-existing condition before ACA? I think it was, but at any rate, maybe get the local perspective. The alternative I suppose is to wait to get tested, as you indeed say, until after you have new insurance. Not a bad strategy (I don't think it's really dishonest, but that's just me), but personally I like to have it all on the record so we're all on the same page. At any rate, if your fears bear out, a whole LOT of us are in a bunch of trouble, no??  UAB Digestive Health Center https://www.uabmedicine.org/medical-professionals/clinical-services/digestive-health-center/celiac-disease/

      I personally don't believe you have an obligation to disclose such a diagnosis with your doctor or insurance company, especially if a health insurance company can use this information against you for the rest of your life--and yes, it does look like we may be headed back a time a place where pre-existing conditions could affect the cost and ability to get health insurance--but that remains to be seen. If we were talking about a congenital heart condition I might offer different advice, but for celiac disease where the only treatment is a gluten-free diet and there is no subsidy for gluten-free food costs in the USA, it seems reasonable for you to go with more privacy regarding your test--just confirm with the company that your results will ALWAYS be private (i.e. see 23andMe news--their data has or will be auctioned off in bankruptcy proceedings).
