Glutened Or Another Intolerance?

Let me start off by saying that I know I have intolerances to onions, garlic, soy & milk/lactose in addition to gluten. The night before last I ate an Amy's frozen meal (Enchilada Bowl or something like that) and it did have onions, garlic and soy in it. I knew that it would probably upset my system a tiny bit, but I was NOT prepared for the way I felt for the next 24-36 hours. The previous time I ate it I just had some gas and minor gas pains for a couple hours. This time I was miserable with severe cramping and looser stools, but never D. Not sure if it was a cross contaimination issue (since they do make wheat items in the same place) or if the other tolerances just kicked in. I can tell you one thing...I will NOT be eating that again. I was in a hurry and didn't really have much other choice than a gluten-free donut, which I will choose next time ;) I am finally almost back to normal, but going with very safe foods for a while...things I know won't mess with my stomach/intestines.

Anyone else have any issues with Amy's products?

I've reacted to the enchilada bowl. My tummy was not happy, and I have no other intolerances that I'm aware of other than wheat.

I assumed it was a CC issue.

I have never tried their products--there was a long thread about it not too long ago. From what I remember, there were several people who reported problems with Amy's.

YES! Everytime I have something prepared from Amy's I do. I don't know what it is though. I'll have trouble sleeping and be restless all night and when I do sleep I'll have frightning dreams. I feel like a do when I have MSG. So unless its an ingredient that's a derivative of MSG I don't know. I suspect it is.

Thanks guys! Sorry to hear that others have had issues with those products as well. I will definitely be steering clear of them now. It is a shame b/c they are pretty tasty!

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.
