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.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
