I called about the regular stax's and they told me they were gluten free and pruduced on equipment that DOES NOT process any foods containing gluten and there was zero chance of cross contamination. About a month later I found them in the back of the cupboard and decided to eat them. Being the paranoid freak I am I decided to call back and see If there still gluten free. This time I'm told there gluten free but they are made on equipment that process gluten and that they be cross contaminated. What the hell is this crap ? I am afraid to eat them now . What do you guys think ?

I just checked their website--they still say that Stax are made on dedicated lines, so they are naturally gluten-free. The cans I have at home now say 'naturally gluten free' also. You may have gotten someone on the phone who had some old info. Although, you never know--has anyone heard of any changes with Stax or Lay's?

I noticed that the new Pizza Staxx do not say Gluten Free on them. Could this be a reason for the change?

I would call them again to double check. Interesting.....

No that has always been that way, they only put the gluten-free labe on in some markets. Mine bear the lable here (but we only get regular).

So I went to the new list online, and Cheetos, among other things are no longer on the list!!!

What gives!!

Elonwy

Never mind my bad, I was in the no GLuten and Casien list and freaking out. NEVER MIND.

I hope, hope, hope this is not b/c of the new labeling laws. If this is just the beginning of something larger to come, it will be like starting this whole diet over again. I finally have down what mainstream products I can buy. UGH! This law is supposed to help us, not make companies scared to claim anything is gluten free anymore. Yikes, I hope this isn't the case though, I won't panic just yet.

when I called them I was assured the Pizza Stax and all the Stax are still gluten free, it is purely a marketing decision to NOT have naturally gluten free on the Pizza Stax label... nothing to do with the ingredients.

When I checked with them all staxx were gluten-free and made on a dedicated line. I called because the pizza ones had no gluten-free label.

Yes, I've heard they are on gluten free lines. If you have a dairy intolerance though, I'd stay away from them.

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
