Doritos

Hi,

I understand the whole FritoLay thing...possible contamination since not all products made on equipment are gluten-free.....lays potato chips, wavy lays, fritos, cheetos, lays stacks are all gluten-free............and I thought that Doritos weren't.

Then, on another thread (I don't remember which or where), I think it was Jessica who said something about a certain kind being the only kind of dorito that wasn't gluten-free. Now I'm confused: are Doritos gluten-free? I haven't checked the site, yet.......I could probably find the answer there, but thought I might be able to get the info. from somebody here.

Thanks,

celiac3270

Is that for the US, or another country? Every bag of Doritos my kids buy lists wheat flour on the label. It is part of the coating.

As far as I'm aware, I think it's only the Nacho Cheese flavor (the original dorito) that has wheat flour in it. At least that's the only one not on their list of "gluten-free" chips.

FritoLay also lists "milk" on the label if that flavor has milk, so it is easier for those of us on gluten/dairy free diets. :D I have not had a problem with cross-contamination with the chips.

God bless,

That's what threw me off! My brother (non-celiac) sometimes eats the original Doritos and that's the only kind I ever ate. I recall looking at the label, seeing wheat, or something, and coming to the conclusion that ALL Doritos weren't gluten-free. Then, I think I read the bag of the "Cooler Ranch", saw they were gluten-free, and doubted that I read the labels correctly: since one kind wasn't gluten-free, I assumed the others couldn't be.

FritoLay also lists "milk" on the label if that flavor has milk, so it is easier for those of us on gluten/dairy free diets.  I have not had a problem with cross-contamination with the chips.

That's good to know...to my knowledge I am not lactose intolerant, but I've maintained a "dairy limited" diet. I haven't had any problems with cross-contamination, either, but others have mentioned it, and FritoLays warns you on the web (see below the list of gluten-free products) that the products are produced on the same equipment, even though the lines are washed between batches.

Hi,

The brand of Nacho cheeze Doritos that the person was talking about is the newly released "Rolitos" (sp) which are the same as a Dorito except the chip is rolled up. Rolitos do not contain gluten as an ingredient but fall under all Frito-Lay's "gluten-free chips" as being dangerous because their products (as well as most other manufacturers') are not made on dedicated lines, and thus cross-contamination from Gluten containing products previously run is a possibilty. Though Frito-Lay claims that all lines are washed thoroughly between runs.

They are quite tasty and I am not sure why they do not contain gluten as an ingredient when regular Nacho Cheese Doritos do. I eat them (Rolitos) when I am on my less restricted diet plans.

Hope this clears up the confusion.

Strange...I haven't seen those....if it really is that easy to elimiate gluten from it, why doesn't FritoLays make the regular Doritos Nacho Cheesier gluten-free....manufactureres.. :rolleyes:

I was shopping yesterday and saw in the "natural" foods section of my supermarket a "Natural" line of Doritos, and one is a white nacho cheese and it didn't list any gluten containing ingredients! I'm calling them today, but I was psyched!!

I am really, really, really, glad to see that Cheetos are gluten-free.

I have been eating them almost daily. Some of the medication I take can make me a little sick to my stomach. I have found that Cheetos help to remedy this. So, it was just a day or two ago, whenever I found the Safe/Forbidden lists here that I verified that

Cheetos are gluten-free.

I was also wondering, since the BAD list is much shorter than the Good list, (thankfully!) what is the best approach for learing what on ingredient lables is okay or not? I have pasted the lists here into Word Documnets, and have loaded them into my Palm Pilot, but, it seems that I will eventually learn what's good and what's not. What approach works for you?

Thanks!

My friend had Doritos at her apartment and I went to go have some, but then decided to take a look at the ingredients, and it listed that Wheat Flour was in there. I can't remember the exact kind of Dorito it was; the bag was a greenish color...I'll just have to go look at it sometime and see. I've never been the biggest Doritos fan, so I'm not sure if the labeling is the same on other bags of Doritos. I'll have to keep a look out for that when I go grocery shopping

      Would you also agree that being so close to the IgA deficient cut off is significant? We just have been told he’s not as just over into the not deficient category… thank you so much for all the help so far, it’s been so helpful!

      One study showed that up to 44% of first degree relatives also have celiac disease, so his odds of having it are quite high. Also, if he were not IgA deficient his celiac disease test scores would likely have been much higher because they were based on the IgA antibodies.

      Statistically, the incidence of IBS and other bowel disorders is higher in the celiac population than it is in the general population. Still, I would take one thing at a time.

      Thank you, I do feel the likelihood is high which is why I am reluctant to do a colonoscopy as I feel we will find the answer. Whatever the endoscopy says though and even if it were to be negative he will be going gluten free as the positive EMA has to mean something with symptoms and one parent coeliac. But there is a niggling doubt as I try and...

In regards to histamine foods - I am taking 10mg loratadine to combat this issue, however haven't seen any positive results as of yet. I have noticed if I am on a strict gluten free diet for around 1 week, the insomnia instantly pops up, and I have to eat around half a slice of bread for it to stop. I am trying to lower this amount, however the insomnia is still present. I have searched these forums and the internet but there seem to be no solution to this issue. I thought if I gradually reduce from half a slice and a little less, the issue will be resolved. However this is not the case.

There is significant reason to believe your son does have celiac disease and there is no nasty prep needed for that endoscopic procedure. Assuming that he does have either celiac disease or NCGS, it is likely that a gluten-free diet corrects his symptoms and there would be no need to pursue a lower GI and it's nasty prep.  I would also add that the immune system of a child his age is not mature. It's in flux. Because of this, celiac disease testing can yield erratic results. And I would also add that some experts believe that NCGS can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. If this is true, there would seem to be transition phases. I hope you will keep us posted.
