ok.. so I know that I don't make good choices all the time and love to snack. I don't cheat but I do love to snack. I am also super super sensitive to gluten which includes cross contamination. I can't tolerate chex and now I know that my frito products are no longer safe. I have been so sick and I have a bag of ruffles in the cabinet. I love cereal, I love snacks.. I love chips.. in moderation but a small bowl at night or while watching football is perfect for me. For those who are snackers and super sensitive, what do you eat? Is there a safe chip?

I like orville redenbachers popcorn for snacking - I had the butter oil last nite and was fine with it - I'm not fine with tostitos.

I also like veggies and homemade dips.......satisfies my crunch when I add the veggies I like - cukes - celery - and sugar snap peas. You can also do a 'polish firecracker' that's a green onion wrapped in ham with cream cheese....but I do fine with Claussen pickle spears.

Nut Thins crackers are also good for that crunch!

I also can do the Celebration Cinema popcorn - oh yeah!

I eat Santitas white corn chips made by Frito Lay. Anyway, I am what we call super sensitive. I have never had a problem with these. The ingredients are: Whole White Corn, Vegetable oil (Contains One or More of the following: Corn, Sunflower, or Soybean Oil), and salt. No Preservatives. I have a problem with soy but these havn't bothered me at all, thank goodness.

I make a snack out of Hormel canned chicken breast, it's canned like tuna, the ingredients are: Chicken Breast with Rib Meat, Water, Contains 2% or less of Salt, Modified Potato Starch, Sodium Phosphates. Gluten Free, No MSG added. I have a nightshade problem also and this hasn't bothered me. Anyway, I mix it with my gluten free mayo and pickles and it makes a delicious snack with the chips. MMMMMmmmm good. Try it, you might like it.

I love Glutino gluten-free pretzels! If potato chips are what you are looking for Utz , Boulder Canyon, Michael Season's chips appear to be safe but be sure to read the labels for each flavor....hth

For chips, I mostly stick with Mission corn tortilla chips or strips. We eat lots of popcorn here, too. I make it in an air popper and can season it however I want. :)

I roasted chestnuts last night! They were surprisingly easy to do and a nice treat -- something different.

      Medications

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fa...

      Gluten tester

      I am not aware of an air detector for gluten, but Nima Partners sells a device that can detect gluten in minutes in a small sample of a meal or food that you eat. They are also a sponsor here for full disclosure: https://nimanow.com

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      Your approach makes a lot of sense — focusing on balanced meals and being cautious about cross-contamination is smart, especially when you’re traveling or unsure of a kitchen’s gluten-free practices. Many GF foods do lean toward higher sugar or processed ingredients, so prioritizing whole foods (lean protein, fruits, veggies, healthy fats) at meals can h...

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      I agree, unfortunately a gluten challenge means intentional gut damage and inflammation to those with celiac disease, and taking lots of AN-PEP enzymes could potentially decrease this and skew the results, although I've not seen specific studies on this idea.

Many GF foods do lean toward higher sugar or processed ingredients, so prioritizing whole foods (lean protein, fruits, veggies, healthy fats) at meals can help keep energy steady. For snacks that fill you up, look for protein bars with simple ingredients, higher protein, and lower added sugars — reading labels is key on GF bars since “gluten-free” doesn’t always equal healthy. Pairing a salad with a quality protein bar when you’re unsure about a restaurant’s GF safety is a great strategy to avoid symptoms while still feeling nourished.

      I’m really sorry you’re going through this — what you’re describing is, unfortunately, something many long-term celiac patients encounter. A negative blood test after decades gluten-free does not rule out biopsy-proven celiac disease, and it’s frustrating that your documented history isn’t being taken seriously. Being dismissed while you’re dealing with menopause-related changes, neurological concerns, and recovery from a demanding job would exhaust anyone, and it’s understandable that this is affecting your mental health. You deserve care that looks at the full picture, not quick conclusions, and it’s okay to keep advocating for yourself or seek a provider who truly understands complex autoimmune cases. You’re not imagining this, and you’re not alone.
