I agree with Zizzle that it's probably the oil/fat in chips that's causing the problem. I've been in remission for almost 7 years now, but if I overdo the regular Lay's potato chips, they cause D, (and remember, I don't even have a colon, so I always have D, but it's not urgent, secretory D). The point is, too many greasy chips cause me to have prompt, higher volume D). As long as I don't try to pig out on them, I'm fine, so the problem is evidently with the quantity of oil/fat. The same goes for original Fritos. They seem to be even worse. If I eat more than just a few of them, they clean me out in a hurry. Tortilla chips, though, which don't contain near as much oil, work pretty well for me, (except for the fiber, so I certainly don't make a habit of eating them, for that reason).
Zizzle,
As far as I'm aware, most of us can eat pork rinds without any problems. Of course, in excess, they probably pose an oil/fat issue, also, but I've never had a bad reaction to them, and I recall others mentioning that they use them as a snack food. As far as healthy is concerned - well, there's an old saying here in the South: "eating high on the hog", which refers to eating backstraps/loins, baby ribs, etc. You can't eat much lower on the hog than pork rinds.
But they're good, as an occasional snack.Tex
That was a tough one to track down, but the member having the problem, discovered that the German label for the same product, listed soy lecithin, whereas the U. S label did not. Within two days, she went from a full-blown reaction, to remission.
