Celiac Disease Support Group

Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. This damage is caused by eating anything with gluten (gliadin), a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley...

Hey all, I wanted to let everyone know that I discovered something great this week! Lays make potato chips that are just like pringles (they even come in a can). They are called Stax. Lays send me a list of their GF products and they were on there but the coolest part was that it said that this product is 100 % free of Gluten! It didn't say it near the ingredients it said it near the recycleable mark. The sour cream, and salt n vinegar are the two I tried.
I know its junk food but if your looking for something thats regular people food, cheap and readily available this is great!

That is great news! I love Pringles and hated that I had to stop eating them. I will look for those.

Frito lays has lots of GF snacks. In fact, there is a book called the CSA Gluten Free Product listing. It is a 400 page binder of all the GF products out there, edible and not edible. You can get it from the Celiac Sprue Association at their website www.csaceliacs.org

i actually made a post about lay's in the healthy eating group awhile ago lol

i LOVE potato chips, and although i haven't been formally diagnosed with celiac i am doing my best to avoid gluten products to see if it helps me, so i was very happy to find my favourite snack was gluten free!!!

i bet if there is enough of a demand a lot more companies will consider going gluten-free with their products. it's worth a try!

Actually, all potato chips are GF. You have to watch out for the flavorings that may contain wheat. And all kinds of Pringles are a no-no because they have wheatin them. But most other chips, name brand and generic are GF

Alot of flavored chips generic and name brand add the gluten or wheat. Or are processed in plants that have gluten. Most plain chips are but alot of bbq or cheese flavored chips are a no no..

i really don't like to be a bearer of bad news, but, i have to tell you, dear friends, whose bellies i care about so much, that since i have quit eating ALL chips, along with a few other things, i have cut my pain at least in half. i know, i know!!! it sounds sad but i find rice cakes just as enjoyable. when your pain is on the line, it's not a hard choice to make, as we all know. i wish everyone the best! xo

Lays is really great. They are always my fall back food after a good workout. They have salt and lots of potassium. They're pretty healthy, actually.

However, be careful and read the labels. All of the stackers are GF-they usually have a little line that says "naturally gluten free". Even the BarBQ stackers are GF.

However, the ones in the bag are actually more nutritious than the stackers, and you do have to read those labels. BarBQ in the bag is NOT GF!! It has barley.

Also, I understand that some of the smaller off-brand junker brand chips do use wheat flour on the line to keep the chips from sticking together. Since it's not really an ingredient, that's not listed. However, that could very well be an old wive's tale. I've never had that confirmed.

I should buy Lay's stock! Seriously, I eat them probably 5 days a week. Saved my butt a number of times when I had a bad "bonk" from a hard workout and got ditzy and couldn't figure out where I was or how to get home.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
