    Celiac.com 09/26/2017 - If you've ever eaten any of the gluten-free foods made by Amy's, then you know their commitment to taste, quality, and solid gluten-free options. Bolstered by their success in the commercial grocery markets, Amy's is moving into fast food. Not just fast food, drive-through fast food.

    Amy's Drive Thru opened its first location in Rohnert Park, California back in 2015, where it was quickly embraced as a healthier, more ethical alternative to other fast food chains.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Amy's Drive Thru is now set to open a second store in Corte Madera in 2018, followed by five more locations in northern California.

    All Amy's food is 100% vegetarian and organic, with a menu ranging from burgers and burritos to pizza and mac-n-cheese, and, of course, plenty of gluten-free and vegan options.

    Made from organic, locally sourced ingredients where possible, the recipes are often come from the family recipe books of Amy's own employees. For early birds, Amy's also offers a breakfast menu.

    So if you're find yourself in looking for quick, delicious gluten-free options in northern California, look for Amy's Drive Thru.

    As a very sensitive celiac. I tried several of Amy's so called gluten free frozen products. Each time I got glutenated. They are not made in a gluten-free factory. I found ingredients in Amy products like Maltodextrin, sauces with Carmel coloring, starches that did not specify what they were made with. I have autoimmune reaction to carrageenan and some of their products have this in it. They do not specify if their dairy products contain carrageenan or artificial flavorings either. Long story short, avoid so called gluten free Amy's products. They are cross contamination and contain hidden gluten. Eat at your own risk.

    Hopefully you have notified both Amy's and the FDA about this. I also hope you saved your packages or made note of the manufacturer's lot number. Because that's the only way to know whether you got "glutinated," or weather you simply reacted to something else.

    Celiac.com 02/03/2016 - Gluten-free foods are more popular than ever, higher in quality, and increasingly seen as worth premium prices paid by consumers, according to a new research report by Mintel.
    The report shows that, despite widespread skepticism of gluten-free diets, more people are consuming gluten-free foods than ever before; with an increasingly positive attitude toward such foods.
    Mintel's latest numbers show that 25 percent of consumers surveyed report that they consume gluten-free foods regularly, a whopping 67 percent increase from 2013.

    What if Fad Gluten-free Diets Aren't so Fad After All?
    Celiac.com 02/15/2017 - There's been a lot of talk in the media and among researchers about the large numbers of people who adopt a gluten-free diet without a celiac disease diagnosis. Many of these dieters are regarded with a bit of suspicion. The question areises as to whether gluten was causing them any problems that could be improved by a gluten-free diet. Most have been regarded as simple fad dieters.
    Well, what if the gluten-free fad isn't such a fad after all? What if many of those without celiac disease who eat gluten-free are actually gaining some heretofore undiscovered benefits?
    That's the intriguing possibility raised by the latest study from the Mayo Clinic's Dr. Joseph Murray, and his colleagues at the forefront of research in celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Dr...

    Is the US Gluten-free Market Losing its Luster?
    Celiac.com 06/07/2017 - After nearly a decade of high double-digit growth, the US market for gluten-free foods is set to level off to single digit rates in coming years, according to a study from Research and Markets.
    The firm's report, titled Gluten-Free Foods in the U.S., 5th Edition, looks at sales of gluten-free food across nine product categories, specifically traditional grain-based salty snacks and crackers, bread, pasta, cereal, making mix, cookies, flour and frozen dough.

    Gluten-Free Food Now Mainstream
    Celiac.com 09/06/2017 - Gluten-free food is now so mainstream that its lack of gluten is no longer a highlight, but is now just another of the many ways manufacturers signal a healthy product.
    Gluten-free has gone from specialty niche to mainstream, says David Sprinkle, research director of the market research firm Packaged Facts.
    "Where once upon a time a package might have had a singular fat-free or no-sugar-added label, it is now common to see packages that carry a host of tags such as certified organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, no antibiotics ever, no artificial preservatives, cage-free and more," says Sprinkle. Gluten-free tag is now just one of many "free-from" tags that help to lure consumers.
    That sentiment is shared by Kara Nielsen, sales and engagement manager at U.S.A...

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. ...
