My daughter brought home a pack of Stax yesterday, because she noticed it was labeled gluten-free. I hope this trend is increasing!

Where on the label does it say gluten free? I've looked and can't find it :(

Another question... are any of the lays products produced on separate lines? I've heard that the stax and the baked chips are produced on separate lines but I am not sure. The reason I am asking is because they are discontinuing the Old El Paso chips at my grocery store and I don't think they sell them anywhere else where I live :o

So I need I new "safe" brand. Thanks. B)

They say "This product is naturally free of gluten" on the side of the STAXX Chips container.

The STAXX are supposedly made on dedicated lines as well as a few other chips they make so they are definitely safe.

Frito Lay also makes other gluten free products that are not made on dedicated lines.

I'm eating stax right now :lol: ...on the sour cream and onion kind it says "this product is naturally free of gluten" right below the back label where it says 0 grams trans fat and to the right of the nutritional facts label. It has it in different places on each flavored container, but always on the back.

The original stax says it in the same place as the sour cream, but the others do not.

the guy I spoke with in Frito Lay's customer service dept. said that even if the Stax aren't labeled "naturally free of gluten" the entire Stax line IS gluten free. Just a marketing "test" they were trying with not including that on some labels (like the Pizza flavor) but he assured me that the entire Stax line is safe.

I never tried the pizza one because it didn't say gluten-free on the container and because just hearing the word pizza draws immediate suspicion, the way it would if you saw...brownie or cookie.

the whole reason I had called them was because of the pizza flavor, I was in the store, saw "new flavor" and thought wow! But didn't see the gluten-free label, so I picked up my cell phone and called the 800 #... they assured me that ALL of the Stax are gluten-free, so enjoy the pizza flavor! BTW, we did end up buying them and trying them, they are good!

Anyone know if the baked are made on a seperate line like the Staxx? I have a bag of them here begging to be eaten....

The baked aren't made on dedicated lines...though I can say that I haven't reacted to the wavy lays, which also are not made on dedicated lines. The ones on separate lines are Lays Potato Chips (Classic), Ruffles, Lays Stax (all flavors), and Fritos

That's too bad :(

I was hoping they were. I may give the lays stax a try again since they are on dedicated lines.

Almost every store I go into I check the lays label for "This product is naturally free of gluten", but I've never seen it. Then... I realized that maybe only the lays chips in the US have that on the label (since I'm in Canada). Maybe the ones in Canada aren't made on separate lines?

Ok, I am so confused about this stuff. I am new to this disease, just diagnosed in March 2005, and I am 35 years old. I heard that BBQ sauce contained gluten, or was somehow processed in a way that made it unsafe, but I read the Lay's website link and it says their brand of BBQ chips are gluten free. Has anyone tried them? Are they indeed safe? If so YEAH!! :D

There are a lot of gluten free BBQ sauces! I use the ones by Kraft because they will clearly put gluten in the ingredients if it is there.

but I read the Lay's website link and it says their brand of BBQ chips are gluten free. Has anyone tried them? Are they indeed safe? If so YEAH!!

If you want BBQ lays go with LAY’S® STAX® BBQ Flavored Potato Crisps. They are apparently produced on separate "gluten free" lines and therefore should not be contaminated. Most of their other chips are produced on the same lines as gluten chips.

One question for those who have called and confirmed that the STAX are produced on separate lines... Why do they still have this warning:

*The above products do not contain gluten; however, they are produced on the same line as our products that do contain gluten. Although the lines are washed between batches, a slight residue may remain on the lines. Individuals who are extremely sensitive may be affected.
at the end of their gluten free list when the list includes STAX chips?

I only eat the regular Lays Potato Chips. I've tried their BBQ ones in the past and I always get that stinging feeling after I eat them.

Not all BBQ sauce contains gluten...and the Stax are definitely gluten-free. THey have a pizza flavor, too, but it's gluten-free. And hidden valley ranch dressing isn't gluten-free, but their flavor of Lays stax is....

I think it is important to remember these products are flavored to taste like BBQ, Hidden Valley Ranch, pizza, etc. They do not necessarily contain the ingredients they are supposed to taste like.

Does anyone know if this company is planning to label all of their gluten-free products in a similar manner? I am going to request they do. Will anyone else do this? It would be so helpful if they did, I plan on having my friends and relatives make the request as well!

When I called them I requested that they label all of their products that are gluten free... Obviously the guy I talked to was just a customer service rep, but he said he would pass the message along to the "higher ups"

I know we do not get to talk to the president of the company, but if enough people ask for something it might help.

Ok... I am desperate for some potato chips :lol: I've read somewhere that the lays regualar chips are produced on separate lines (I think it was a post by celiac3270). Is this true? And are there ANY other chips produced on that line? Like gluten chips or dairy chips.

It was posted here on this board that ALL LAYS STAX are not only gluten-free, but on a seperate line from the gluten stuff. We eat them constantly here heh. Even use them to make gluten-free Chicken Nuggest now. I dont bother with any other chip since I have a varity with Stax that I like, and know are safe. Some of them are albed "This product is naturally gluten free" some are not, which is silly... since they all are. Currently have pizza, cheddar and regular... regular is the best of course. :D

yea... I know that the lays STAX are gluten-free and produced on separate lines, but I can and have reacted to them because not all of them are dairy free. Therefore, I can get dairy cross contamination :( Thanks for the help though :)

I've just heard that the regular Lays chips are produced on separate lines and I was just wondering if this was true?

Your best bet would be to call the company and ask them. Keep asking until you get a satisfactory answer... The times that I've called them they have always been very nice and helpful, and they even sent me a bunch of coupons!

      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.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

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.

      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
