Amy's Products

I've seen lots of Amy's products in the stores, but none of them say gluten free on the boxes. And I'm not sure about all the ingredients. Quite a few of the mac and cheese boxes have a rabbit on the front of the box. Are these ones gluten free? Does anyone out there use the Amy's prducts much? I'm really interested in the mac and cheese ones if they are safe.

Why can't companies put gluten-free on them and make it simpler?

The Amy's Mac and Cheese that is safe says it right on the box...same with all that brands products that are gluten free.

Amy's does have a non gluten free version as well so just look for the gluten free on the box.

Is their gluten free pasta made from rice? The one I read didn't have wheat in it, but it wasn't rice either. And I haven't found any with gluten free on it. I wonder if that is just down in the U.S. and not in Canada.

Hi Viola - the one with the bunny is Annie's, not Amy's. Annie's does have one gluten free mac and cheese so far - they just released it a few months back. It clearly says on the front that it is gluten free - it's a rice pasta, though not quite as nice as Tinkyada. You have to prepare it just like Kraft Mac and Cheese.

Oops ... thank you for straightening me out Stephanie! :huh: You are right of course, I got the two names mixed up. It is Annie's that I've seen. :lol: So, I should be looking in the freezer section for Amy's .. I will certainly do that next time I go into town. :rolleyes:

I TOTALLY get them confused when I'm writing about them (not when I see them, though). So I understand. I love the frozen Amy's mac and cheese - it's the only TV dinner I can eat...

unfortunately we don't have the Amy's frozen rice mac and cheese in Canada...as far as I know at least. I'm pretty sure it says on their website what products are available in Canada.

Oh poop ... Not in Canada :( That's a bummer. I will have to check out their web site this evening. Have to open my phone lines now though, so gotta get off the computer.

Here I was hoping for that nice mac and cheese.

I love Amy's frozen food so much that every once and awhile I go to Bellingham, Washington to do a gluten free shop there. I have looked at so many stores around here but I guess the gluten free Amy's that I like just isn't available in Canada yet.

Shirley, the Save-On Foods near my place just started stocking Amy's gluten-free frozen pizzas. So, maybe they will be bringing in more of their product line soon.

Oh, that sounds very promising. I just printed off their "contact" page so I can take it into our 'Save on Foods' when we go into town next. Sounds like it might just happen :P That would be wonderful.

We all like amy's. Her Asian stir fry is the best. Two packages along with extra broccoli and other veggies makes a meal for an entire family.

      any advice would be helpful

      @Jane07, welcome to the forum! Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients is common in Celiac Disease.  Supplementing with vitamins and minerals that are commonly low in the newly diagnosed can help immensely with recovery.   Vitamin D is frequently low.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  The eight essential B vitamins help repair and maintain our body's health.  Magnesium, calcium, zinc and other minerals are necessary, too.  Vitamin C helps, as well.  Benfotiamine, A form of Thiamine, has been shown to promote intestinal healing. Are you still consuming dairy?  Eliminating dairy may bring some improvements.  Have you tried the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet?  Developed by a Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, the AIP diet can improve symptoms while healing.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      Welcome to the forum! A blood test for Celiac looks for the amount of antibodies your body is producing in response to gluten.  An endoscopy looks at the damage done by the antibodies attacking the villi lining the intestines.   When you have a cold or infection, antibodies are made that attack the foreign invader.  In Celiac Disease, our immune system recognizes gluten as a foreign invader and launches antibodies against it.  However, the gluten particles resembles the same structural components in our body cells.  As a result, the anti gluten antibodies attack our own cells, causing damage like flattening villi in the intestines and also potentially attacking vital organs like the thyroid, the pancreas, the brain, and the heart.   Gluten itself does not stay in the body for years.  The anti gluten antibodies stay in the body for years.  Our bodies remember gluten and continue making antibodies against gluten which continue to damage our bodies for years.  Eventually, if not triggered by gluten ingestion for two years or longer, our bodies may go into remission and stop producing the antibodies and thus end the inflammation and damage. You should be afraid.  You should be very afraid.  Consuming gluten accidentally or intentionally can start the while cycle over again from the beginning.  And getting to that state of remission again can take years.   A dietician or a nutritionist can advise you on how to start and sustain a gluten free diet while meeting your nutritional requirements.  We need essential vitamins and minerals to heal and maintain our health.  The gluten free diet can be lacking in essential nutrients unless we eat mindfully.  A nutritionist can teach us which foods will help us meet our nutritional requirements, and help us correct nutritional deficiencies with vitamin and mineral supplements.

      @LeeRoy83    Hello again.  Picking up on something else you said re: the shock that you may be a coeliac. It may has come as a shock to learn that coeliac disease is a possibility, but if that is the case, although it can be at times a bit of a nuisance not to be able to eat gluten anymore, it has been my experience that most of my friends and acquaintances who have it have adapted to it well, and are thriving.  Although statistically it affects 1 in a 100 people, I know more than that, strangely, so I can see first hand how the diet can make a big difference for most people. In the UK we are blessed with a wonderful selection of gluten free food on sale in the shops, which seems to be ever-increasing, well labelled food packaging making it easier to determine if food contains gluten, a fabulous charity called Coeliac UK who provide a lot of very helpful information, including a gluten free food app and guide that you can take shopping with you, and good follow-up care provided by the NHS.   But that's for another day - IF you have indeed got Coeliac Disease.   Do meet up with your GP, take a list of questions to ask, and then if he wants you to take the coeliac diagnosis a step forward do let us know if we can be of help  - we can walk with you every step of the way.

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By trents · Posted

      No. That is, unless the dietician themself has a gluten disorder or is managing a close family member who does and therefore is immersed in it daily so as to be up on the nuances of eating gluten free. Otherwise, they just give you very general information which you can get online.

      Yes, a very cryptic and uninformative lab result report indeed! But it does seem like this is typical for the UK. It's almost like the "professionals" in that healthcare system don't want you to try and figure anything out for yourself.
