glutened by lays potato chips?

I ate some baked lays last night and felt very sick all night and haven't been feeling great all day today. Other than that I didn't eat anything different from what I normally eat and there was no risk of cross contamination with anything.. These were the only thing I had that was different. They're labeled gluten free so I figured it would be okay, but I started feeling sick pretty soon after eating them. I'm not sure if it's another ingredient in them or what (and i know it's not the soy).. Has anyone else had a reaction to lays potato chips?

Here in the UK I can't eat Lay's owned Walkers crisps as even the ones without gluten ingredients can cause a reaction. I read it was something to do with their production processes. Looks like others have same problems too:

Lay's regular chips are gluten free.  You might have reacted to the super greasy chips or one of the other ingredients in them.

Were they flavored?  Lay's BBQ has barley flour and some of the other flavors have wheat.

Sorry to hear that 1398_Days.  I've been looking into making my own potato chips which should be an interesting endeavor.  There are lots of recipes for them out there, might be something to look into.

@Twelthlady -- Seriously, Lay's Potato Chips (Fritos, Plain Chips for sure) are gluten free in the US.  We eat them when traveling.  We have never been glutened by Lay's.    Just read the label.  I can not vouch for all the varieties because I have to watch for garlic and onion).  Hubby eats regular Doritos too.  Just read the label.  

I know chips are not healthy, but in a pinch, we can stop at a mini-mart and grab them, eat them while camping or eat at a party.  We buy the little bags when we are with extended family.  No chance of cross contamination.   When the bags are first opened, we take them.  The all bets are off after the bag is opened.  My nieces and nephews....you have to worry about more than gluten!  :lol: 

When you are first starting out, it is hard to digest anything, really.  You have lots of damaged areas in your small intestine.  That's why we recommend avoid junk processed foods for a while.

Classic Lays and some flavored varieties are certified gluten-free. Baked Lays are not. They are made from some sort of potato purée, as are Pringles chips. Frito Lay does an outstanding job of labeling, usually on the back of the bag in the lower right. Lays BBQ chips are not gluten-free as they contain malt.

yes! i have tried them over and over...definite problem.  Not sure why but after researching it have concluded it is because of potatoes, which are incompatible too.  They belong to the Nightshade vegetables which includes tomatoes, eggplant and peppers. check them out online... causes distress in humans in general

I am not sure where you get your information from regarding nightshades, but I don't think that is accurate--they are just vegetables, and some people may react to that particular class.  While it may be true for you that you reacted to the potatoes, there are ingredients other than the potatoes that people can react to. :)

here you go...
Other symptoms of nightshade intolerance are depression, anxiety, constipation, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, joint pain, headaches, nausea, bloating, flatulence, IBS, anemia, and poor food absorption. Symptoms of nightshade intolerance often overlap with those of gluten or dairy intolerance.Nov 6, 2012

Hi 2lone dogs,

I react to nightshades also.  It is not a gluten reaction, but still isn't all that fun.  I don't think it's a real uncommon thing to react to nightshades, and they probably do affect many more people than is realized.  There are chemicals called alkaloids in nightshades that can make many people sick.  So I agree, it could be a nightshade reaction the OP had.  It's not impossible for a person to test themselves for food reactions.  The OP could eliminate all nightshades for a few weeks and then try eating a lot of them for a week and see what happens.  That would mean eliminating potatoes (except sweet potatoes), tomatoes, peppers and eggplant.  That kind of self testing will work for many food intolerance issues.

We have similar Walkers baked crisps in the UK and they're verboten here too:

 It's a pity as I used to like them, especially 'square crisps' I used to munch them with abandon! :D Ah well...

      Confused with test results

      By Dhruv · Posted

      @trents I absolutely understand the perspective of getting off completely from wheat,  but sometimes situation may occur that you won't have choice to eat other than wheat,  my son travels a lot, since they travel in team, it's not easy to go out and find him a gluten free every single time! I have seen, even in NJ I m struggling to find out gluten free stuff, in this country we don't get fresh food in stores, other day i saw gluten free bread so hard that will never feel to eat it! Once in while means once in a while, when there is no absolute option. Here all goes by book, there is no enough scientific research done yet on eating gluten with celiac,  everyone has there own narrative,  only it being said don't eat wheat, but Noone has come up with the experience. And moreover my sons diagnosis is yet to define, whether he has celiac or NCGS. last time his endoscopy came negative hence doctor did not bother to tell us. I hope this time it will be the same case. We are figuring out why his billirubin is high, may be that could be the reason his igg iga test is high, will get check on all and come to the conclusion. My son and us is absolutely fine not eating gluten, but one can't guarantee that every time they will get the gluten free food other than home. I also don't trust under the table of "gluten free products" have see people still have same iga igg count even after following the diet. This is all learnings, will keep him under observation and go through the regular testing to find out how his body reacts to what.  I may sound like a fool, but medical is scam in US, hence i would consult doctors in India. 14 years ago they have announced i had a breast cancer, which was not, since then I don't trust medical system here.

      Travel Abroad

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I've been to Italy recently for a wedding and it was excellent. I made my own gluten-free sandwiches/pannini to take on the flights.  Spain is good and you can get good gluten-free breads in the supermarkets there. The UK and Ireland are very good also. Australia would be good since Coeliac Disease is fairly common there ...1 in 70 as opposed to 1 in 100 in other countries. You have to advocate for yourself in restaurants when eating out. I've read about several Coeliacs being cross contaminated from preordered gluten-free meals on airlines. Personally, I wouldn't trust a gluten-free meal on an airline especially long haul. Try the hashtag celiactravel on tiktok and instagram. Loads of Coeliacs posting about their experiences with plenty travel tips. The Atly app has a list of gluten-free friendly restaurants worldwide.
