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.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
