Is There A *truely* Gf Potatoe Chip?


anerissara

Recommended Posts

anerissara Enthusiast

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.

Lays STAXX....they are made on a dedicated gluten free line.

anerissara Enthusiast

Oh, yea! Do they come in different flavors (I'm missing cheese flavored chips!).

Thanks, Kaitie...you are always so helpful when it comes to finding gluten-free products!!!

KaitiUSA Enthusiast

They come in multiple flavors....pizza,sour cream&onion, BBQ, original....I don't know if I am missing any...there may be more.

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

KaitiUSA Enthusiast

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:

jenvan Collaborator

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!! :)

Guest gfinnebraska

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.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.

      @BlessedinBoston, it is possible that in Canada the product in question is formulated differently than in the USA or at least processed in in a facility that precludes cross contamination. I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a super sensitive celiac for whom that standard is insufficient.

      No,Lindt is not gluten free no matter what they say on their website. I found out the hard way when I was newly diagnosed in 2000. At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁. Took me a while to get around to checking them and was heartbroken when I saw they were absolutely not gluten free 😔. Felt the same when I realized Twizzlers weren't either. Took me a while to get my diet on order after being diagnosed. I was diagnosed with small bowel non Hodgkins lymphoma at the same time. So it was a very stressful time to say the least. Hope this helps 😁.

      @Jmartes71, I understand your frustration and anger.  I've been in a similar situation where no doctor took me seriously, accused me of making things up, and eventually sent me home to suffer alone.   My doctors did not recognize nutritional deficiencies.  Doctors are trained in medical learning institutions that are funded by pharmaceutical companies.  They are taught which medications cover up which symptoms.  Doctors are required to take twenty  hours of nutritional education in seven years of medical training.  (They can earn nine hours in Nutrition by taking a three day weekend seminar.)  They are taught nutritional deficiencies are passe' and don't happen in our well fed Western society any more.  In Celiac Disease, the autoimmune response and inflammation affects the absorption of ALL the essential vitamins and minerals.  Correcting nutritional deficiencies caused by malabsorption is essential!  I begged my doctor to check my Vitamin D level, which he did only after making sure my insurance would cover it.  When my Vitamin D came back extremely low, my doctor was very surprised, but refused to test for further nutritional deficiencies because he "couldn't make money prescribing vitamins.". I believe it was beyond his knowledge, so he blamed me for making stuff up, and stormed out of the exam room.  I had studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I switched because I was curious what vitamins from our food were doing in our bodies.  Vitamins are substances that our bodies cannot manufacture, so we must ingest them every day.  Without them, our bodies cannot manufacture life sustaining enzymes and we sicken and die.   At home alone, I could feel myself dying.  It's an unnerving feeling, to say the least, and, so, with nothing left to lose, I relied in my education in nutrition.  My symptoms of Thiamine deficiency were the worst, so I began taking high dose Thiamine.  I had health improvement within an hour.  It was magical.  I continued taking high dose thiamine with a B Complex, magnesium. and other essential nutrients.  The health improvements continued for months.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct a thiamine deficiency because thiamine affects every cell and mitochondria in our bodies.    A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function.  The cerebellum of the brain is most affected.  The cerebellum controls things we don't have to consciously have to think about, like digestion, balance, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, hormone regulation, and many more.  Thiamine is absorbed from the digestive tract and sent to the most important organs like the brain and the heart.  This leaves the digestive tract depleted of Thiamine and symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency localized in the digestive system, begin to appear.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi include anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, headaches, Gerd, acid reflux, gas, slow stomach emptying, gastroparesis, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, incontinence, abdominal pain, IBS,  SIBO, POTS, high blood pressure, heart rate changes like tachycardia, difficulty swallowing, Barrett's Esophagus, peripheral neuropathy, and more. Doctors are only taught about thiamine deficiency in alcoholism and look for the classic triad of symptoms (changes in gait, mental function, and nystagmus) but fail to realize that gastrointestinal symptoms can precede these symptoms by months.  All three classic triad of symptoms only appear in fifteen percent of patients, with most patients being diagnosed with thiamine deficiency post mortem.  I had all three but swore I didn't drink, so I was dismissed as "crazy" and sent home to die basically.   Yes, I understand how frustrating no answers from doctors can be.  I took OTC Thiamine Hydrochloride, and later thiamine in the forms TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Benfotiamine to correct my thiamine deficiency.  I also took magnesium, needed by thiamine to make those life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins, so the other B vitamins must be supplemented as well.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   A doctor can administer high dose thiamine by IV along with the other B vitamins.  Again, Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine should be given if only to rule Gastrointestinal Beriberi out as a cause of your symptoms.  If no improvement, no harm is done. Share the following link with your doctors.  Section Three is especially informative.  They need to be expand their knowledge about Thiamine and nutrition in Celiac Disease.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test for thiamine deficiency.  This test is more reliable than a blood test. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Best wishes!
