I was talking with a friend who's DH is celiac. She had a list that said Doritos were safe. I thought I looked at ingrediants and saw the Cool Ranch were okay, but not the original. Does anyone know for sure? I tried to access the web site and they require an adobe flash which I can't load. HELP Her DH is going on a "guys" trip and you know they need munchies! :D

I just looked at the list and the plain ones are fine. I tried to copy it but couldn't. They have a really long list so probably most flavors are fine. Read the labels. I also like Santitos which are only $2 per bag.

Looks like the only Doritos that are not gluten-free are Nacho cheese and Spicy Sweet chili.

They may be gluten free by ingredients but many of us have had CC issues with Lay's products. The only product they make that I will eat is plain chips. Lays does make Stacks which are made on dedicated lines. I can't eat them because of soy but if he is okay with soy I would go with those over the Doritos.

This is a list from a different part of the website. It is for US only.

U.S. Products Not Containing Gluten Ingredients

Some people suffer from an intolerance to foods containing gluten, which is a type of protein found in wheat, rye and barley. Neither wheat, rye, barley or oat ingredients are found in the Frito-Lay Products listed below (we include oats in this list as a precaution as oats are often commingled with gluten-containing grains). Please note however, that other than our LAY'S

Thanks for all the info. I do believe the bag I looked at was the Nacho, which I see are not safe. The Cool Ranch looked okay, but I understand the possiblity of CC. As alwyas....Thanks for the quick responces. :D

My husband is a Celiac and almost LIVES off of Cool Ranch Doritos. They never ever make him feel sick so i would say that without a doubt yes they are safe.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
