Confusion About Lay's Stax

I know someone posted a thread a while back about Lay's updated list - thanks! I was under the impression that ALL Lay's Stax are gluten free. I couldn't find the post here on the forum, but I did look at the Lay's official site... Anyway, can anyone confirm for me that Lay's Stax BBQ are actually gluten free? On the official site I found mesquite bbq and honey bbq but that's not what I'm eating. Arg!

The container that I have in my pantry says gluten free on the label. I stick with the plain b/c the spices bother me. They are gluten free though. :) Othe people in my house eat them and have no problems. The Stax are the only frito lay products that I trust. I have gotten sick from the bagged chips. The Stax are the only chips that I eat. :)

I think Lays is one of those companies that discloses if there is a gluten ingredient...I might be wrong though. If it were another company I would say that barley *could* be hiding in "natural flavours" but I doubt it. Wait are you in Canada or another non-US country? That may be why the flavor you have was not online if you were looking at the US website.

I'm in Canada, and looked at both the US website and the Canadian one. It's like these chips just don't exist, except that I'm LOOKING AT THEM on my desk. They just say "Lay's Stax bar-b-q flavour." I'm probably over-thinking things. After all, Lay's Stax are made on gluten-free lines, so wouldn't that mean that the Stax themselves are gluten-free?

Yeah they are made on dedicated lines. Mine say made in Mexico. If yours say that, i'm sure they are from the same place.

They're a mystery then! Maybe they changed the BBQ name recently and you have an old canister? Is there and expiration date on them anywhere? Is there a contact us phone number on them? You could try calling.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
