Question

Has anyone ever had a problem with eating baked lays potatoe chips causing an IC flare? they have ingredients i am not sure about. I have IBS also and they are better for me to eat but i dont want to set of my IC.

I have not had problems from them because I refuse to eat items that have unnecessary ingredients added to them. For instance, on the Lay's package the second ingredient is modified food starch. Modified food starch is known to usually contain MSG because it is formed in the manufacturing process. MSG is a big trigger for most of us.

In addition, it is modified. So that means it isn't the way nature made it, and what kind of starch is it, I'm sure they will never tell you.

All the other ingredients on the package look relatively normal to me, unless you are sensitive to phosphates in baking powder.

I have had no trouble with these, I can eat pretty much any kind of plain potato chip

That is the one chip I have no problem with..Just the plain ones though :)

This thread reminded me that I have not had a potato chip in so long. When I have eaten them, I did fine with the baked plain ones.
