My conclusion is that the Frito Lay products are hit or miss - cc may always be an issue and depending on how sensitive you are, should probably be avoided all together. When I do corn products, I try to stick with white corn that's been de-hulled and/or processed to make it white. Anything else - I avoid completely. I have consistently good results with Que Pasa White Corn chips, organic. No problems - ever. I can't do potatoes, so potato chips are not in the picture. I can also do the Terra Chips, plain fried sweet potato chips! Yum. That's the end of my safe chip list...sadly.

It seems like there's a lot of variation here - I went nightshade free just a few days after going gluten-free. My reaction to potatoes was obvious & not fun! Tomatoes weren't as bad, but they did give me a stomach ache. Several months avoiding tomatoes & peppers did the trick because I can now have limited amounts of tomatoes & peppers. A lot of my issues are related to carb content, so I think that helps explain why I can tolerate the tomatoes & peppers but not the potatoes or potato starch... I haven't even tried eggplant - I don't mind it but I don't love it either, so it really isn't worth trying for me. I will occasionally cheat with a small amount potatoes (not a full serving & certainly not so much as a baked potato - it isn't terrible but I do get gas & bloating. I'm able to sub sweet potatoes (the white ones) and yams (the orange ones) for most potatoes dishes and the only one who protests this is my 6 year old, so I sometimes make mashed potatoes from the flakes just for the family.
