Tortilla Chips?

I thought corn chips would be ok, however every bag I pick up seems to say "may contain traces of wheat" or made on the same machinery as wheat products. So which main stream corn chips are ok??

We buy the On The Border Tortilla chips. The bags we have been buying say gluten free on them. Here is a link also and you can find information in the FAQ'S area.

I buy the giant bags of Mission tortilla chips from Costco. They're gluten free (says it right on the bag) and from what I understand are made on dedicated lines. Plus, the Costco bags are less than $4.

Snyders and a few others have gluten free written right on the bag.

I buy TIFCO - they're pretty (red, blue, and white) and labeled gluten-free.

Be careful eating chips at Mexican restaurants. A lot of places make their own in the deep fryers, which may also be contaminated from deep frying other things like chimichangas, etc. I had some nachos at a locale place that did me in.

I only eat Mission tortila chips. They are the only brand that is not only gluten free but also sunflower free. Actually it's the only chip in the whole freaking chip aisle I can eat because of the sunflower thing. I also like that they have a very short, very simple ingredient list and I can pronounce everything on it. I have never had a problem with their chips or their corn tortilas.

You have to be careful with Frito products as some people react to CC in them. I can't touch them myself.

I eat Tostitos with no problems. Their website says they are gluten-free.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By RMJ · Posted

      I think keeping the information to yourself is a good idea. In fact, many doctors won’t give an official diagnosis without a biopsy so if someone asks if you have celiac disease and all you have are blood test results a “no” answer wouldn’t be totally wrong🙂. Until I had a biopsy my medical chart just said positive celiac antibodies, not celiac disease. If the WalkinLab $159 panel is negative you could still have celiac disease however.  It is a good start, testing for TTG IgA antibodies which most people with celiac disease have.  However, some people have IgG antibodies instead, and some only have antibodies against DGP (deamidated gliadin peptide). WalkinLab can also do those tests but the comprehensive panel is more expensive. WalkinLab celiac disease profile

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      My vitamin D is a bit low, but now too low, and I have just started taking 5000 IU again. In the past I have done 50.000 IUs at times to get the levels up higher, and might try that again, after I speak to my doc this week.

      Wow. Okay. I’m definitely going with private testing. And since my sister was diagnosed just last month, I’ll have her as a great resource. I’m otherwise in excellent health for a 60 year old woman. No diabetes, normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I work out regularly, although I’m too thin because I’m afraid of food. I appreciate both of your helpful, informative insights - Scott Adams and @plumbago.  I’ll let you know the results of my panel (giving blood sample on Wednesday) here on this thread.

      Celiac disease was considered a pre-existing condition that affected costs before the ACA, and I was paying life insurance premiums at age 45 that a 70 year old would have to pay because of it (this was back when it was my only diagnosis--not that case now).  I don't disagree with @plumbago's approach here either, but just keep in mind, it will be on your PERMANENT RECORD!😉 On top of this, a majority of job applications that I've see in the past couple or years include "celiac disease" as a pre-existing condition that the employer requires you to disclose--do you have the same shot at the job if you say yes?:

      Treen, I'm not sure I totally understand, but if I were you, while you still can, get your doctor to run the celiac blood test panel (the complete one) now, and if any of those tests turn out to be positive, get him or her to order you an endoscopy with biopsy. Do this while you still have insurance that will cover the cost! If it turns out to be positive, it seems your worry is that you would not then be able to get health insurance after 2025 because celiac, you say, is a pre-existing condition? Being in the state (I am from there, btw), you no doubt have observed the rate of metabolic disease in the population, conditions that are far more emblazoned in neon lights that say "pre-existing!" than Celiac, I would think. Meaning, it's quite likely that a near-majority would have pre-existing conditions. You might not even be denied. If I were you I'd reach out to either UAB (below) or the Alabama celiac facebook group with your concerns, and even research the topic - was Celiac considered a pre-existing condition before ACA? I think it was, but at any rate, maybe get the local perspective. The alternative I suppose is to wait to get tested, as you indeed say, until after you have new insurance. Not a bad strategy (I don't think it's really dishonest, but that's just me), but personally I like to have it all on the record so we're all on the same page. At any rate, if your fears bear out, a whole LOT of us are in a bunch of trouble, no??  UAB Digestive Health Center https://www.uabmedicine.org/medical-professionals/clinical-services/digestive-health-center/celiac-disease/
