Hi, taking a straw-poll on how many people with coeliac are made ill by Seabrooks crisps (all varieties are labelled 'gluten free' and have CUK cross grains logo).
If you have had issues with a specific flavour or number of flavours please detail.
Endeavouring to communicate this back to Seabrooks as they seem convinced their crisps are safe for coeliac.
Hi Benjamin,
I can't help you with you post I'm afraid. I haven't been able to eat crisps for a long time without getting gut issues and regretting my indulgence. I had assumed it was more to do with the amount of oil than being coeliac.......... but maybe not.
Thanks Nellie237. Not nice when there are no clear answers.
Hi Benjamin,
I use seabrooks as my regular go to crisps though I do stick to pretty regular flavours. Usually prawn cocktail, salt and vinegar and ready salted but I have also had the cheese and onion and beef ones too.
I've not had a reaction to them, though like I say I'm not very adventurous when it comes to flavours, so it could be with certain flavours.
Hopefully this is of some help!
Cool. Good news for you then. Thanks for responding.
Hi Benjamin I regularly eat Seabrook Crisps. Tried sea salt, prawn cocktail and cheese and onion and not got sick off any of them.
Just an idea but maybe another ingredient that they put in that you're intolerant to ??
Good luck with finding out...hopefully you could post your conclusions
Hi, thanks for responding. No, for me, and others I've picked up on here, even the basic salt flavour is an issue. Their yeast extract (in most flavours) is from a gluten source, so think it's more a sensitivity to PPMs.
I have DH and have been eating Seabrook's for quite some time with no adverse effects.
Cool, thanks for responding. That's great their ok.
I have been eating Burt's plain crisps ok but the other day my husband had to stop the car so that I could be sick
I can’t eat them. I had a packet of cheese and onion flavoured seabrooks crisps a few months ago as an evening treat and was dreadfully ill afterwards with terrible abdominal pain. It took me almost a month to get right again. I had to go on a keto diet to calm everything down. I suspect the yeast additive was the problem. It’s put me off crisps for life.
That's not good. Yes, yeast extract is from a gluten source, which beggars belief.
Yeah more than likely down to purity of product and PPM and individual sensitivity and or some other ingredient or even the seed oil cooked in (high polyunsaturated oil subject to oxidation especially when heated such as fried which is not good).
Not coeliac but sensitive to gluten. I use to eat seabrookes flavoured and plain but they stopped agreeing with me personally (upset tummy) quite a while ago. Salted plain use to be ok sometimes. 🤨
Hem, that doesn't sound good. Never considered the oil aspect, but do wonder how they check out on the ppm testing front.
I think I had a reaction to Seabrooks' a while back so I don't buy them. I usually avoid crisps with yeast extract as they often make me ill due to the gluten content - yeast extract is a dodgy ingredients. Some crisps seem to have 2 lots of yeast extract.
I can not figure out why any gluten free product would be allowed yeast extract. It's mind-blowing. Thanks for answering.
Not gluten ill, no.
Potatoes are a nightshade though and they are fried in sunflower oil which is highly processed so there are other reasons why they may not agree with you.
Crisps are one of my only few remaining vices!
They're a good vice!
How would you know if you couldn't have oats?
