Amy's Was Okay, Got Diarrhea, Thought Nothing Of It. Then This.

Amy's was okay and has been a pretty staple frozen food provider for a while for me, for the most part she still is.

Here is a list of products sold by her that have over hundreds consumed and no gluten reaction to date

  • Sante Fe Bowl
  • Cheese Enchilada
  • Bistro Burger

And recently, I have had diahrrea not once but 3 times from Gluten Free Non Dairy Mac N Cheese. I thought, hmm it must be an ingredient right?

Well that wasn't even the worst, recently I tried the Gluten Free Non Dairy Burrito's, instantly I became stupid, you know celiac stupid.

Then I came down with flu like symptoms, stomach pains, etc. And that was the only thing I aten in an entire 12 hour period. It was terrible, I felt like I ate literally nothing at all and it was sitting there in my stomach like a rock.

I don't know what is going on with Amy's products but they seriously are inconsistent and need to be re-examined and re-thought as being gluten free.

I also would like to help everybody out by saying I have reacted to Cheeto's, Lay's Salt n Vinegar, and Reeses Pieces.

I stay away from Amy's. I have always had a reaction to anything I eat of hers. :(

I agree with txplowgirl. A lot of us have issues with Amy's products. I can't eat anything made my Lays except Stax. I eat Kettle Brand chips and Stax. I have had problems with Hershey's too. These foods are gluten free, I just think that they have cross contamination issues. Some of us are more sensitive than others.

You spoke like you where me, I can't eat a single piece of Hershey's and Lay's gives me problems.

Did anybody tell Amy about this? I would think she would want to know.

I have the same issue! Almost time I eat Amy’s frozen meals! Especially the Veggie Loaf, the Chinese Noodles, the Pad Thai, and any Mac & Cheese except the boxed (non-frozen) kind. I was starting to think it was some other ingredient because the ones I eat all say they are gluten-free. But if it isn’t gluten, what could it be??

While I don't have any bad reactions to Amy's products, But I do have severe reactions to Pamela's products.  While I love her many wonderful foods, the terrible diarrhea and stomach pains make it so not worth it for me.  I'm doing much better on low sugar and low carbs while not completely Keto. Seems like Celiac disease reactions affect each individual differently, and it's still a great mystery even though we all avoid gluten like the plague.

Because these are processed foods, you could be reacting to any ingredient.  For example, I am a celiac who despite having healed, still has intolerances to garlic and Xanthan Gum.

You have that right!  Simply going gluten free may not be enough to feel well.  So many people have intolerances to other foods that may or may not resolve with healing.  There is no “one-size-fits-all” gluten free diet.

I'm not sure the reactions to Amy's are related to gluten. I have searched online to find if others have a reaction because I have been in denial that it is Amy's soups upsetting my stomach, so glad to find this page. My mind says these are all good ingredients, so why stomach rumbles, etc? I don't have ANY eating intolerance, I can eat any foods any time of the day or night and have no digestion problems, but Amy's soups especially the Spanish one, but some others too are so not right. I've bought loads of her soups in the pandemic and still have around 12 tins in the cupboard. They may have to go to the food bank. :( Maybe someone with iron constitution can handle this. I thought I did have an iron constitution - but something's wrong here....

      Augmentin (amoxicillin) syrup

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Good point. I will go to the pharmacy to ask who is the provider of this Augmentin and i'll contact them. The problem is i need to know about it very fast cuz i am already delaying the antibiotics administration. My little girl is not afraid of injections but i cannot say she likes them. It's normal. We did choose the syrup solutions because it was the easiest. Of course where there are flavors added...the mighty gluten may be present or not. Thanks a lot for your time and for the reply! 👏

      Gluten Free Daily Vitamins for Kids w/ Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      You can always just double up or triple up on whatever gluten free chewable multivitamin product you may already be using. That should cover the bases. Celiacs need the same vitamins and minerals as non celiacs, just in higher doses to compensate for less efficient absorption. Are you wanting to boost any particular vitamins or minerals? I seriously doubt you will find a vitamin product specifically designed for celiac kids. There just isn't a big enough market for such a product to provide the incentive for a company to invest in such a product line.

      Enegy level extremely low

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Sicilygirl, I had lost a great amount of weight, felt depressed, and had no appetite early on.  I found that taking Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine extremely helpful.   Doctors routinely check B12 and Vitamin D, but they fail to test for deficiencies in other B vitamins like Thiamine, because blood tests for other vitamins are not accurate measures of deficiencies.   Low Thiamine can result in depression, anxiety, unintentional weight loss, loss of appetite, and  emotional lability (quickly changing emotions and moods), and gastrointestinal symptoms (gastrointestinal Beriberi).  These symptoms of low thiamine can be easily brushed aside and contributed to other things.  The best way to tell if one is low in thiamine us to take it and look for health improvement.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  No harm, no foul for trying it.   I took a B 50 Complex along with 300 mg Benfotiamine twice a day with the first two meals of the day.  A one a day multivitamin does not provide sufficient amounts to overcome the  malabsorption of celiac disease and correct low vitamin levels stored inside cells.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so any extra or unabsorbed is easily excreted in urine.  The eight B vitamins work together.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  If there's not sufficient thiamine, the other B vitamins are not utilized and not stored inside cells.  Thiamine is needed for iron absorption.  Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D. We need more Thiamine when we are physically stressed by illness, emotionally stressed, and physically active.  Coping with Celiac covers all three.  Thiamine stored inside cells can become depleted within three days to three weeks.  Symptoms can change depending on how much thiamine is absorbed from your diet.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine results in an eighty percent increase in brain activity, so symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  The brain just thinking can use as much thiamine as leg muscles use running a marathon.  Mitochondria become sick and die without sufficient Thiamine.     Doctors aren't required to take many nutrition courses in their training period.  (Twenty hours of nutrition education out of seven years at medical schools funded by pharmaceutical companies.  Vitamins cannot be patented, so doctors cannot make money by prescribing vitamins like they make money by prescribing pharmaceutical drugs.).    I started feeling better within a very short period of time after taking Benfotiamine and a B Complex.  I also took magnesium, because thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.   Giving the body the vitamins and minerals it needs to function will increase your health.

      Something more. Not just gluten free, more encapsulating the nutrients celiacs need more of.

      Augmentin (amoxicillin) syrup

      By trents · Posted

      One avenue you can pursue is to contact the manufacturer of the Augmentin syrup in question and ask that question. The dispensing pharmacy will likely be able to give your the name of the manufacturer and some contact information, though that approach would likely take some time to yield the information you need. My gut feeling (excuse the pun) is that it is pretty unlikely this med will have gluten-containing ingredients. Perhaps another option would be to ask for the drug to be administered IM via injection. I know that scares children but when I was a kid that's how they usually gave antibiotics. I don't think there were so many antibiotics available in pill form back in the 1950s.
