Amy's

I was so proud of myself for getting this product to microwave at work, but then I noticed that while the meal is made with "no gluten ingredients," it's made in a factory where wheat is processed. So has anyone eaten an Amy's meal and had a reaction?

Thanks!

Some people react to Amy's, some don't.

I have had many reactionst to Amy's and no longer eat their food. They said they can't guarantee that cc isn't a problem. I chose not to eat things that are produced in the same facility as wheat because I usually get sick.

Carla is right, so people eat Amy's stuff all the time and don't get sick.

If you are just starting out I would stay with naturally gluten-free foods like meats, fruiits and veggies anyway to give your system time to heal. You can experiment later when you are feeling better.

Yeah, you'll Have to make that choice yourself. Amy’s was going to move the pizza and I think the mac and cheese (?) to a gluten-free facility though. Not sure when that happened, or is going to happen. I do eat Amy’s on occasion and have never had any issues.

I checked on this. I thought the new facility was supposed to be gluten-free but it isn't. They have some sort of a covered area where they make the gluten-free stuff so no gluten in the air can get into that area. I thought that would be good enough but they said they don't consider that a gluten-free facility. If they don't consider it a gluten-free area, then I'm not willing to take another chance on them yet.

I always have some Amy's Mac 'n Cheese on hand in the freezer for those times when I get too hungry and need to eat something fast. I have noticed that I don't always feel great after eating one though. It's hit and miss. I thought it was made in a gluten-free facility! Now I know why I feel yucky sometimes after eating one. :angry: I don't think I want to risk it anymore.

This is the only of Amy's products that I have ever had a hard time w/. I was also taking antibiotics, but I got very violently ill about an hour after eating the shepherd pie. I would recommend everyone stay away from it. I just at the cheese enchiladas today for lunch. THey're pretty good. Never reacted to them. Or the pizza, which I love, or the mac and cheese. That's my advice :)

I tried 3 different times to eat Amy's stuff- I got sick each time. So now I leave it alone.

I've always been okay wiht the mac and cheese and the rice crust pizza.

But I had a burrito or enchilada or something one other time and it made me really sick.

oooooooo - I had the WORST reaction the one and only time I had Amy's Shepherd's Pie. What in the world is in that thing that causes such a reaction for so many of us? I would never eat that again!! :(

when i was first started to eat amy's i had a problem... three years later i tried them again no problem.

even better yet are the pizza by foods by george, and by far the every bidy eats and safe harbor foods pasta's are the best

I eat the cheese enchilada's with black beans and corn at least once a week at work. I add a little extra cheese. So far I have never had a problem. Tried the veggie brown rice bowl. I personally didn't like it. The mushrooms smelled and tasted "too earthy" to me, like eating dirt. YUCK!

I've eaten tons of Amy's (used to take it for lunch everyday). Mexican casserole is my favorite, shepherds pie stinks. I have not had any problems, it may be I'm not quite as sensitive to traces. It's still a fall back staple ofr me. I keep a few in my freezer for those nights I need to eat but can't bring myself to cook.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      Hi knitty kitty, Scott and all, Thanks for kind words and asking!I will def. talk about histamine intolerance on my next visit to gastro doc. My doc.gastro says that lactose or casein is very unlikely to create marsh 3b histology like gluten in adults in intestines.

      dermatitis herpetiformis with all grains

      @Richardo, I'm in the same boat as you! I can't handle certified gluten free oats at all. Quinoa is the worst, even when I soak it in water and then wash under the tap for 10 minutes ... I have a reaction. It must be an immune system reaction to the proteins in these gluten-free grains.

      We are all different and our immune systems are unique. I will say, however, that I have not gotten the impression as a moderator and reading hundreds and hundreds of posts on this forum over the years that a dermatitis herpetiformis outbreak caused by grains other than wheat, barley and rye is common. But perhaps it is more common than we have realized and...

      dermatitis herpetiformis with all grains

      Ok thanks Trents. I had the lesions biopsied and confirmed dermatitis herpetiformis, so I guess dermatitis herpetiformis can be associated with other grains not typically gluten. I appreciate your comment and I'll give Dr Osborne the benefit of the doubt because without him I would never have known of my grain intolerance and would still be suffering today...

      Hi knitty kitty, Scott and all, Thanks for kind words and asking!I will def. talk about histamine intolerance  on my next visit to gastro doc. My doc.gastro says that lactose or casein is very unlikely to create marsh 3b histology like gluten in adults in intestines. (that was previous question for Scott) Regarding my last EGD the villy was OK so refractory is out of the question based on my talk with dr. If Scott is right and there are so many intolerance in food for celiac what is left to eat?? And now histamine? I mean what should i eat? Maybe gastritis is doing all this trouble? Thanks Kind regard

But perhaps it is more common than we have realized and it could be why it it is seems to be common that those who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis struggle to keep it under control. Perhaps there are qualities found in all cereal grains besides gluten that are contributing factors. Also, have you tried a low iodine diet to see if it helps with your dermatitis herpetiformis? Reportedly, reducing iodine helps some folks afflicted with dermatitis herpetiformis.

I appreciate your comment and I'll give Dr Osborne the benefit of the doubt because without him I would never have known of my grain intolerance and would still be suffering today. I simply never read anyone explain how grains could worsen dermatitis herpetiformis and I feel that information should be made much more readily available. Hey if someone tries going grain free and there's no improvement, no loss, however it drastically changed my life for the better and could at least be offered as a suggestion to sufferers from dermatitis herpetiformis. The other option is Dapsome and I wouldn't want anyone taking that chemical if there was a more natural solution. thanks again

      Welcome to the forum, @Richardo! We sometimes run across terms like "rice gluten", "corn gluten", and "oat gluten" but they are used informally and, technically, it is incorrect to speak of grains other than wheat, barley and rye as having gluten. Gluten is a protein with a specific structure found only in wheat, barley and rye. Other cereal grains contain proteins that are more or less similar in structure to gluten in some ways but are not actually gluten. Having said that, the proteins found in these other cereal grains are similar enough to gluten to possibly cause cross reactivity in some celiacs. Cross reactivity also happens with non cereal grain foods as well that have a protein structure similar to gluten. A prime example is dairy (the protein "casein"). Another example may be soy. Other foods can also cause cross reactivity for different reasons, such as microbial transglutaminase (aka, "meat glue") used commonly in pressed meat products. Just so you'll know, Dr. Osborne's claims have not received wide acceptance in the celiac community and are looked upon with skepticism by the medical and scientific community. Although he is a board certified nutritionist, his doctorates are actually in chiropractic medicine and pastoral science: https://www.drpeterosborne.com/about/dr-peter-osborne/ I am not sure Osborne has the training and background to address the chemical structure that defines gluten. I would encourage you to do some research on what gluten actually is. I have done this for myself and came away convinced that only wheat, barely and rye actually contain the protein gluten. I do not doubt your claims that you have breakouts of dermatitis herpetiformis from consuming these other grains. I am just contending it is not actually from gluten.
