Lays Potatoe Chip Question

I was feeling bette till after I ate some Lays Potatoe chips today. I was out and bought a bag of the regular lays potatoe chips. the ingredients were potatoes, cottonseed, safflower and/or sunflower oil, salt. I thought they would be safe and did not want to buy anything else in the store. I had just had 4 tubes of blood taken and felt a little hungry. Anway...whatever the reson...I ate them and thought I would be ok.....a half hour after eating them I started to get dizzy, weak, racing heart and sour stomach. I also started to get bloated. I felt like I needed to lay down! What is going on? It is now almost 3 hours later and I still feel bad. My gut hurts and is sore and swollen. I feel a little less dizzy but am trying not to think about it as I am moving tomorrow and the moving truck is being packed up today. There is just too much going on right now and if I need to collapse I can do it tonight at bed time. My flight is tomorrow afternoon. Gotta get this stuff out of my systme so that I can pull myself together for all that lies ahead.

do you think it was cross contaminated? maybe one of the oils? Canola oil doens't seem to bother me but this wasn't made with it. Soybean oil is a no-no but I thought these would be ok?

Anyone have any ideas or any of the same reactions?

Thanks,

No one in my family eats Frito-Lay products due to that statment right there.

It really is up to you if you eat them. Lots of people do but if you felt stick maybe it's best to skip them. I know I react to them.

yeah this seems to be one of the products where the warning is real. i personally don't get sick very often and i have off of their chips so i don't eat them anymore.

Yea I do know people that have reacted to them. They are produced in the same lines as gluten containing products so there is a risk for cross contamination. I personally eat their products and have not got sick off of them and I am very sensitive to small amounts of gluten but other people have reacted and if you get sick don't eat them.

my rule of thumb is that if they make you feel sick, then don't eat them again... there could have been slight cross-contamination and I wouldn't risk it again if you have already gotten sick from them ... Hope you feel better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Given your reaction I certainly would not tell you to eat the chips again, but as of a few months ago the plain chips, plain Ruffles, Stax and plain Fritoes were made on dedicated lines. This was from a Lay's dietician.

I never scrolled down far enough to see that there was a products area for posting.....I was wondering where my post went.

thanks for your responses. I guess I am one of the ultrasensitive people!

I am still feeling sick today and depressed over the whole situation! I just want to cry. I am moving today....flying up to JFK with my dog then driving to NJ and really don't feel up to it. I'll be doing this alone as my husband is driving with a truck and helper.

I think I am also a little angry and disgusted with this whole situation. I have been trying to go gluten-free for about 3 months and keep getting sick.

I keep thinking..."how did this all happen?" "why is by body failing me?"

OK....here come the tears and the pity party!

sorry.........just really tired and stressed...mostly disgusted today.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better..............

That's terrific! Thank you...I don't react to Lays, but was starting to get a little scared when I heard all the posts about people reacting...good to know :)

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By trents · Posted

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
