Lay's Stax "gluten Free" Label!

My DW bought a tube of "Lay's Stax". They are the same thing as Pringles basically. I was looking at the label expecting to find the dreaded "modified food starch" which would mean uncertainty and thus my inability to enjoy them, when I saw printed on the side of the can right above the bar code, "This product is naturally free of gluten." :o

Other than on specialty health products, I have never seen this on any other packaged food before. How nice would it be if everybody did this? I don't normally eat a lot of this type of thing, but you can bet I'll be getting these from now on, as long as they keep this text on the label! :lol:

The Lays Staxx chips say are gluten free. I've even heard they are made on a dedicated gluten free line. MFS can contain gluten but it doesn't always you just have to check with the manufacturer. I eat Staxx all the time and I am sooo happy that they even have "this product is naturally free of gluten" right on it!!! They are starting to get it :D

I know--that's terrific! This is a big step--now companies not only have gluten-free lists or ingredient listing policies, but a name-brand mainstream company wrote gluten-free on the package the way a specialty food company would in a health food store! A major victory for us all...maybe some other companies will follow this lead :)

I had heard about this before....and also about the dedicated lines Kaiti mentioned.

. . .A standard US definition and rules for what glutenfree is would be good someday.

Remember that a lot of products are naturally glutenfree but are not made on dedicated lines so you have to check to make sure.

Luckily, these are.

My whole family LOVES Lays Stax! The pizza flavor didn't say it on the label, so I called the company while I was in the store and they assured me that ALL of the Stax line is gluten free, and they sent me coupons and stickers a pencil and a temp tattoo all for my little girl. They also sent me a current list of all of there gluten-free products. I love Frito Lays!!!!

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Has any doctor suggested taking a round of Dapsone?  If you have dermatitis herpetiformis, dapsone will clear it fairly quickly.  It is not a drug you would want to take forever, but when all else failed my doc had me take it as a way to determine if it was dermatitis herpetiformis.  Sure enough it worked like a miracle and itch stopped and after 2 months the rash cleared.  Then I embarked on figuring out how to eat to avoid the breakouts.  It is my understanding that once you expose to gluten, the reaction happens and antibodies are deposited in your skin.  They can blister right away or hang around for a long time and get "activated" by other things like your monthlies, pressure, stress etc.... It makes it difficult to diagnose and difficult to manage.

      Best apps for people with celiac

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      I use an app called Spoonful where you can scan labels and it will tell you whether it is safe, questionable (and why) and also something you can substitute.  It also makes it easier to see what is on the label.  There are some ingredients that I avoid in addition to gluten. You can also search the app by a category.  I just searched on "cosmetics and a few things popped up as compliant.  I think the app is mainly focused on food.  When I first started out reading labels was a nightmare and it took me so much time at the store.  This app has really helped me when I am looking at something new.  They update frequently, and if something isn't in their data base there is an AI function where you can enter the information from the label and it will analyze it right away for you. I have used an app called Find Me Gluten Free in the past when I am traveling to find restaurants.  People's reviews are very helpful because even when a restaurant claims to be able to accommodate, often people will find out differently and they report it on reviews. Hope this helps.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It took me 2-3 years to feel like my gut recovered, and then I still had gluten ataxia issues for well over a decade.  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. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:
