Tostitos Baked Scoops- Anyone Had Trouble With These?

Not2sure

Recommended Posts

New to the gluten free arena. Been off gluten for 3 weeks now and have seen tremendous improvement with my symptoms, but this past weekend I had several things that I hadn't been eating that might have caused the symptoms to reappear. I had the baked Tostitos scoops and was wondering if they might be the culprit. The ingredients don't mention any wheat, but the bag also doesn't say gluten free. What do you think?

I am a type 1 diabetic and also had to treat a low blood sugar reaction with some sugar tabs. I later looked at the ingredients and it said that they contain dextrose, so is that the same as dextrin that's mentioned on the forbidden foods list?

Then if that wasn't enough I just read where sunscreen's might be the culprit as we were out on the boat on Sunday and I applied sunscreen to my body.

So which is it? Can anyone help with these questions?

Thanks a bunch! :)

If you google "lays gluten free" they list all the products and which have what including gluten in them. I don't believe they have dedicated facilities.

Dextrose and dextrin are different ingredients. Dextrose is a form of glucose (a sugar) and is gluten-free.

They definately don't have dedicated facilities except for the Lay's Stax. I am very sensitve to CC and some times I will be able to eat their gluten-free by ingredients items and other times they will make me sick. I avoid all but the plain potato chips now as for me they are not worth the risk.

I eat the corn tostitos rounds all the time without problem, and I'm usually pretty sensitive.

I was looking at some baked lays recently but they list 3 different oils they might contain, one of which is soy. So I can't eat them. But, just mentioning it since you should consider you might be reacting to something besides gluten, like soy.

That could be a possibility for the original poster. I do react to soy but the reaction is distinctly different from my reaction to gluten. I do react to CC on shared lines, not all do. Those that don't are lucky and I am a bit envious of them but my gluten reactions are very distinct and have a pattern that is obvious to me. I did for quite a while early on not know the difference and thought that some products that were giving a soy reaction was a gluten reaction. It took eliminating soy and then challenging to be able to tell the difference.

Hello everyone and thanks for your feedback. :) I have made sure that nothing I was eating contained soy, although I did notice the tostitos bag says soybean oil. I know soybeans themselves don't contain gluten, so I would have thought that the oil wouldn't either, so I thought it was safe. However, I am being tested for soy, egg, yeast and dairy as well. So, I'll know better once that tests come back.

Thanks for clarifying about dextrose. It's definitely a learning experience and you all have been very helpful! THANKS!

I have not introduced anything to my system that I felt was unsafe for the past 3 days and yet last night I had cramping and gurgling in my stomach and this morning I had the awful soft stool with oil again. Meaning that something I was ingesting wasn't agreeing with me still. So I thought about it this morning and the last 2 days I've eaten raw vegetables which included red, yellow and orange peppers and cherry tomatoes. I remembered that night shades(peppers, tomatoes and eggplant)are not always good for people, so I checked out the night shade allergy symptoms on line and figured that I needed to stay away from those as well.

I'll keep trying to figure this out, and with the help of all of you kind folks I'm sure it will all come together eventually.

Thanks again to all who have replied! :)

Soy doesn't contain gluten. The issue with soy is that some of us are intolerant to that also not that it contains gluten.

sometimes you have to be super careful with Baked products because they contain something that causes anal leakage.....seriously, it says it on the bag. So sometimes it might not be a gluten thing, it might just be an ohmygosh I ate too many thing. haha

I have never seen this on a bag of baked tostitos or Lays chips. What are you talking about? Can you give an actual example of the product and ingredients?

I could be wrong but I think the ingredient referred to is olestra. It is something that keeps your body from absorbing fat. It is not in the tostitos or Lays chips and is usually found in 'diet' food.

"Olestra sometimes causes underwear staining. That phenomenon may be caused most commonly by greasy, hard-to-wipe-off fecal matter, but occasionally also from anal leakage (leakage of liquid olestra through the anal sphincter)."

I just said that sometimes it is in Baked version of chips. Wasn't specifically talking about a brand...just something to be aware of!

Olestra is hard to digest. It is an oil type stuff used to fry. It is not used in baked chips that I have seen. It's in the low fat, lite type chips.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

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

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
