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!

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
