Stax are produced on a dedicated line, so they claim there isn't a risk of cc for them. I would guess that there is something else in them that is bothering you, like maybe dairy or soy? (I don't know particularly if there is dairy or soy in them, just guessing)

Stax are well known (or seems like it around here) to have CC problems with milk.

I've had no reaction to Stax, and then reacted to the next tube I bought. I think they have some on-again off-again cc issues.

And I'm not lactose or soy intolerant. I do mean gluten CC.

Me, too ----

seems to be random issues with Stax....I have no other allergens except gluten

Plain baked lays, though, are always ok for me.

Lister-

Sorry about your symptoms to the chips! As I wrote in your other thread...I think maybe you need to look at your whole diet....and how long you've been gluten-free. Another idea is to start a journal where everyday you write down what you eat and any symptoms you experience--even seemingly insignificant ones. This is a great tool for finding foods or products that may bother you. Maybe you need to go back to the basics--whole, more plain foods and give yourself time to heal...

I can't eat lays because of milk contamination.

I also wonder if Lay's gives people problems simply b/c they are chips--and even though they aren't as bad, they still have a lot of grease and oil in them... Greasy foods like chips always get my stomach gurgling and churning/gassy...

Wouldn't you be better off with regular Lays vs Stax? I buy regular Lays and there are only a few ingredients: potatoes, salt, oil (and whatever flavour) but even the plain Stax have 8000 ingredients. Maybe it's one of those causing the problem.

I had Lays Stax the first time with no problems at all. The second time I had them I got sick. I had both the plain each time. I just stay away from them now. I try to only eat Utz when I can, they specifically say gluten free now on the bag

I used to get d from chips... then I discovered that I should avoid all nightshades, which includes potatoes. :( Goodbye chips... I think I had a couple "glutenings" that weren't due to gluten after all before I figured this out.

I have never had probs with them! I eat them quite a bit! My daughter never had issues either.

Even if it's 100% absolutely gluten-free, there's a chance that one of the many weird-o sounding ingredients in those just doesn't make you feel good. Just b/c it's marketed as food doesn't mean it's not toxic to your body :ph34r:

My son has never reacted to stax, andhe eats way to much of them. Still with any mass produced product there is always a risk of CC, reguardless of calims.

There's also a risk of dangerous additives, preservatives, toxins, chemicals, artificial flavors, artifical colors, hydrogenated oils and all sorts of other stuff that's simply just not meant to be digested by the human body, even if it is completely gluten-free. I'm not neccessarily just talking about Lays Stax. I just think people like us with weaker digestive systems need to be extra careful about this stuff. Nature provides us with food. Food companies provide us with poison. Sorry - I couldn't help it. I think it's something people need to take into consideration...

I love the natural line they have. The fewer ingredients they have the better. There is so much crap they put in our food. Occasionally I will have the Lays Staxx and have had no problem with them.

I eat potato chips regularly, so I know this is not a nightshade problem. I somehow got glutened today and am trying to figure out where. The only questionable food was Lays Stax KC Masterpiece flavor. I know Lays says they're gluten-free, but they say modified food starch on the container.

I guess it could also be a cc issue in my kitchen, but I am very careful and never set anything on the counter directly. The only thing my son and I could come up with is the dish towel being contaminated and me eating off a dish dried with it.

So, it's one of those two things. What do you think? I usually only eat plain potato chips, but I ate some of these that my daughter had (she's gluten free, but doesn't have digestive symptoms).

Hi Carla--I am a potato chip eater, too! I eat the Lay's Natural line and the Kettle Cooked all the time. Never a problem. I tried the Stax a few months ago, after learning they were made on dedicated lines. I bought the regular (plain) flavor, and got sick from them. I'm not sure why--possibly all of the ingredients like soy or CC from dairy? I did think it was a little odd that I never react to the ones made on shared lines, but did to the dedicated ones :blink:

I tried them for the same reason. I don't have a problem with soy or dairy. I ate the plain several times, and they were fine. But something got me today. I'm blaming the chips!

I've also never had the problem with the natural line.

Thanks for responding!

      Is this celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Marsh 3b is the Gold Standard of diagnosis for Celiac Disease.  Until recently, regardless of antibody tests, positive or negative, you had to have Marsh 3 damage to be awarded the diagnosis of Celiac. As I understand you,  you were having constant symptoms..  Your symptoms improved on GFD, with occassional flare ups. Did your doctor say you do and you are questioning the diagnosis? Regarding your increasing severity when you get glutened it is "normal.  Gluten acts on the Opiod receptors to numb your body.  Some report withdrawal symptoms on GFD.  I was an alcoholic for 30 years, about 1/2 pint of voda a day. Each time I identified a trigger and dealt with it, a new trigger would pop up.  Even a 30 day rehab stint, with a low fat diet (severe pancreatis) during which I rarely had cravings.  Stopped at a Wendys on the way home and the next day I was drinking again.  20 years later, sick as a dog, bedridden on Thanksgiving, after months of reasearch, I realized that gluten free was my Hail Mary.  Back in 1976 my son was diagnosed at weaning with Celiac Disease and his doctor suggested my wife and I should also be gluten free because it is genetic.  At 25 years old I felt no gastro problems and promised if I ever did I would try gluten free.  Well, I forgot that promise until I was 63.  Three days of gluten and alcohol free, I could no longer tolerate alcohol. Eleven years gluten and alcohol free, with no regrets. Improvement was quick, but always two steps forward and one back.  Over time I found nineteen symptoms that I had been living with for my entire life, that doctors had said, "We don't know why, but that is normal for some people". Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  It is an autoimmune disease, meaning your immune system B and T cells create antibodies against ttg(2) the small intestin in Celiac Disease and sometimes ttg(3) in skin in Dermatitis Herpetiformus.  Why is poorly understood.  In fact, it wasn't even know that wheat, barley and rye gluten was the cause.  Celiac Disease was also called Infantilism, because it was deadly, and believed to only be a childhood disease. So as part of your symptoms you must deal with those deficiencies.  Especially vitamin D because it contols your immune system.  Virtually all newly diagnosed Celiacs have vitamin D deficiency.  There are about 30 vitamin and minerals that are absorbed in the small intestine.  With Marsh 3 damage you may be eating the amount everyone else does, but you are not absorbing them into your system, so you will display symptoms of their deficiency.   As time passes and you replenish your deficiencies you may notice other symptoms improve, some you did not even know were sypmptos. Our western diet has many deficiencies build into it.   That is the reason foods with gluten are fortified.  Gluten free processed food are not required to fortify.  Vitamin D, Iodine, choline.  The B vitamins, especially Thiamine (B1) run deficient quickly.  We only store enough thiamine for 2 weeks for symptoms can come on quickly.  Magnesium, zinc, etc. each having its own symptoms affecting multiple systems.  High homocystene, and indicator of vascular inflamation can be cause by deficient Choline, folate, B6 and or B12.  Brain fog, deficient choline, iodine, thiamine.

      I cut out the rice because it was affecting my stomach at the time ... not necessarily dermatitis herpetiformis. It was Tilda Basmati Rice, sometimes wholegrain rice. I was willing to do whatever it took to heal. Too much fiber also disagrees with me as I have UC.

      But you didn't answer my question. When you consume gluten, is there an identifiable reaction within a short period of time, say a few hours?

      You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

      I am only wondering why you would need to cut out rice? I've never heard of rice being any issue in those with DH.
