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...

Abslully perfer less ingredients, he likes the Lays Natural Sea Salt chips too....thats what we have currently actually.

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!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
