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!

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream?

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
