What Is Up With Annie's?

Hi there!

I remeber somone else asking this a while back and was wondering if there was any resolution. What is up with Amy's brand saying "gluten free" and then siting that the product is made in the same facility/ equipment as wheat products. I feel like it's physically impossible for it to be gluten free! It did not say that the product was tested for gluten level or anything else. The product in question was their black refried beans. I think I'm going to write and inquire-- as if our lives arent confusing enough!

Has anyone gotten sick or had experiences with Amy's?

Sorry for the "Annie's" in the title-- it wont let me edit it out. I meant Amy's (no coffee today :-))

Can I ask if you mean "Annie's" or "Amy's"? I've never seen beans in a can from "Annie's".

I think I had problems with Annie's burgers. They are made in a facility that processes wheat.

ANNIE'S RICE PASTA AND CHEDDAR

Annie's Rice Pasta & Cheddar is produced in a completely wheat- and gluten-free facility.

Gluten/Wheat? NO - no gluten ingredients used at the facility.

I stopped buying all Amy's products. They used to be nice to take for lunch when I had to grab something quick and didn't have leftovers to take to work. But every time I ate them, I felt bad immediately afterwards. I teach, and twice I had to leave the classroom, grab a colleague to watch the class, and make it to the restroom quickly. I noticed they started out saying gluten-free, then many went to No Gluten Added which makes me very suspicious. Too bad, because they actually taste pretty good.

      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.
