Amy's "pasta" Sauces/ Truly Gluten-free?

Hi.

I haven't looked at the computer in a long time. Today in a daze I looked at this site again and (I don't know WHERE!) saw some things written about Amy's products not truly being gluten-free. Having recently introduced Amy's Tomato/Basil pasta sauce with seemingly no trouble I am wondering if it's just certain products that have problems or the whole shabang, as it were. I am not yet entirely symptom-free but so much better I have become a little bit (operative phrase: " a little bit...") more cavalier at trying new foods. I still avoid MOST processed things and hope this company is not an entire shipwreck. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

I use Amy's products without issue. However, there are those that have been glutened by them. I think it will come down to how comfortable you are using their products.

I've used Newman's Own with no problem. I like the sockarooni. Double check the ingredients, they can change. I've never had a problem with any pasta sauce or salsa that I've bought (I never buy ones with gluten ingredients, of course).

I haven't tried their pasta sauce but I have had problems with many of their other products. I am very sensitive and I love their food but it always makes me sick. There are plenty of threads about other people that do fine with their products and people who won't touch anything they make. So, it may depend how sensitive you are if you are able to tolerate their products or not. If you are still having some symptoms then I wouldn't think it is a good idea to introduce somethng that may have cc issues.

There are plenty of other pasta sauces that you can have without a problem, so I would probably stick with something safer, but that is just my opinion.

Thank you all for your posts. Cassidy- if you read this again would you mind naming the other safe brands you feel good about? I wasn't sure about Newman's, Carla, maybe I will try that now. After a long, good stretch (a few weeks- I guess not that long) I just got HORRIBLY glutened last night. Unfortunately, the only different thing was Perdue whole chicken. I guess I just can't eat chicken- I know it's supposed to be safe. The battle goes on...

Thanks again!

I can't eat tomato sauce anymore, that was a tough one to give up. I used to eat Emeril's and Classico. I don't know if all the flavors are gluten-free, but if you search here for those, you can easily find out. Or, you can do a post about safe pasta sauce and plenty of people will tell you what they use.

As far as the chicken goes, I don't have a problem with regular chicken but I know some people have gotten "special" chicken that they can tolerate. I think that maybe they find stuff that isn't grain fed or has no antibiotics or something like that. If you really like chicken and want to keep eating it, you might ask other people what they eat as far as chicken goes.

Hope you feel better.

Thank you very much! I will take your advice!

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
