I'm fairly new to this board...I usually just check it as a guest on the occasion but I just had to ask someone. I've been gluten-free for about 5 years and did the research on the Baked Lays (i'm on a diet :() to see what flavors I could have....however, I am SO sick...does anyone get sick from the olestra...I was supposed to have a date tonight and had to cancel because I can't leave the bathroom (TMI i know!) I just didn't know if it was a gluten thing or just a normal person reaction...I also had Oscar Meyer Roast Beer, which the ingrediants seemed fine...I know Oscar Meyer doesn't hide ingrediants so I thought that was safe.

Sheesh!

Monkey,

Except for the Lay's Stackers, Lay's are not made on dedicated lines, so there is a risk of cross contamination. And as for olestra, considering the shaky digestive systems we have I wouldn't trust it.

Olestra is known to cause health problems, two of them diarrhea and stomach cramps. Nobody should eat anything with olestra as an ingredient. It is poison!

I hope you feel better soon.

I looked at a bag of these the other day and they had wheat in them. Not sure if some of the flavors are gluten-free. I just looked at a bag of the plain baked lays b/c we were at a cookout and the host had bought them.

I hope you feel better soon!!!

I know the Baked BBQ Lays (my favorite :angry: ) have wheat, and I wouldn't touch olestra at all... it gives you anal leakage! I have enough problems down there without adding that in, esp. as a "food ingrediant" - yuck.

thanks everyone...i re-read the bag and it isn't a wheat issue. The baked lays were a lot yummier than the regular of this flavor...but shoot, i'm not eating those again! I'm feeling a little weak still but i think the "leakage" has subsided....now I'll just be laying around for an entire day trying to recover.

ugh!

An alternative you might want to consider are Kettle Brand Bakes Potato Chips, lightly salted. The ingredients are gluten free and they do not contain any Olestra. Since there are Kettle Brand Bakes made from wheat products there is probably a risk of cross contamination. I have not had any problems with them.

Olestra containg foods all list digestive problems ie. bloating, gas and D .The calorie reduction isn't worth it. Eat some real chips and eat less of them

      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.
