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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
