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.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
