Is There A *truely* Gf Potatoe Chip?

I have managed to gluten myself with potatoe chips on more than one occation :angry: . The last time, I checked the label of Kettle Chips (I think it was some kind of cheese flavor) and it looked quite safe, and I ate a lot of them. I felt really sick several days later and couldn't figure out why. The next time I looked at the lable on the chips they had very nicely added "This product is not gluten free" right there below the ingredients! I still saw nothing I'd have picked up on listed, so at least they were nice enough to warn you.

My question is: does anyone know of an ultra-safe chip? Preferrably one with some sort of flavor involved? I'd especially love to find one made on a gluten-free dedicated line, as I'm wondering how much cross-contamination has been building up and causing me grief.

Thanks! I'm getting really sick of plain corn chips.

I've always found chips to be a easy call so to speak. Usually, they are just potato's, salt, and some oil...

Now that you brought up cross contamination I'm getting worried...

Kaitausa,

I haven't heard of "staxx" what is it?

Is it just a variety of "Lays"?? (I eat Lays pototo chips all the time)

thanks :D

The Lays Staxx are kind of like pringles and they come in a container similar to pringles. They are really good.

I also eat other Lays chips all the time.

Basically with everything you eat that is made at a facility where they have wheat and all there will be a chance for cross contamination.

However, there are so many gluten free products that are made within those facilities...if we cut them out because of them possibly being contaminated then I don't think we would be left with many choices because alot of brands are like that.

There is a cheddar cheese flavor of the Lays Stax. ;)

...and they're definitely safe...dedicated lines and have gluten-free written on the side of the container near the ingredients list.

I think baked lays contain gluten?? I never let my son get those because one time I thought there was gluten. I never triple check myself, so I could be wrong. Am I? :huh:

I thought Lay's baked ruffles chips were okay. Look at this response posted online. Kind-of confusing... What do they mean only the "regular flavoring" of these chips is okay....and then they list chips with flavoring ???

PS--Anyone eat baked Kettle chips. I used to looove them, but they told me that couldn't say whether their chips were really gluten-free or not. I always hate that response :(

I once had a nasty reaction to lays regular Stax and I thought it was gluten but I'm beginning to think it was a dairy contamination rather than a gluten one. My reactions to dairy are quite bad sometimes. All the stax are gluten free and are produced on dedicated lines (at least the ones in the US are anyway), however, they are not all DAIRY free... so... they would be dairy contaminated. Therefore, the moral of my story is don't eat them if you have severe reactions to dairy ;)

Cape Cod Chips also make some gluten free varieties. Their plain chips are gluten-free, along with some jalapeno ones. They are made on dedicated lines and are really good!! Here is their web site:

I have also had the Staxx ~ they are really good!! :)

P.S. Make sure you ask them (Cape Cod Chips) which ones are gluten-free ~ not all of their chips are!! :)

The Baked Lays are theoretically gluten-free, but subject to possible contamination.

Jenvan... I think they mean the regular baked lays ruffles are gluten-free, as in there might be some other "flavor" like... cheddar cheese lays ruffles or sour cream and onion flavored baked ruffles, etc.

      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?
