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.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
