This pizza is gross. I threw up after one slice, my wife was sick about an hour later. We may never eat pizza again after this experience.

I tried the rice crust pizza yesterday for the first time. I ate only 1 slice then I read on the back of the box that the pizza is made in a facility that makes other things with wheat, etc. So that was it for me. I tossed it out. I didn't get sick, but I won't buy it again. Also Amy's gluten-free mac and cheese say's the same thing on the back of the box about being made in a facility that processes wheat, soy, nuts, etc.

Hi Pete,
To be honest, I have had similar result when eating the gluten-free pizzas. It has not just happened with the Amy's, but with others also. I have gotten an upset stomach directly after eating the pizza's, and therefore have reverted back to just eating the pizza that my grandmother makes for me. I have been on a gluten free diet for 3 years (this coming Christmas Eve), and I haven't had a reaction like this to anything else labeled gluten-free. To contradict the lactose argument, I eat frozen yogurt every day, so I am most definitely not lactose intolerant. I would suggest buying a mix and making it yourself. It's the only way to know for sure...

I hope this helps. Good luck.

All of Amy's products are made in a facility that manufactures gluten containing products too! There is a chance for cross contamination, which shocks me that it can be labeled gluten free!

Yes, I love Amy's pizza but I get a huge reaction. Its very depressing.

Although rice and potato are permitted on the Gluten Free diet, some people cannot digest them very well. That's why I have to adhere to the SCD which is gluten free.

I make my pizza crust at home with egg, ALMOND flour (which is just finely ground skinless blanched almonds) olive oil and basil and oregano. I sometimes add true Italian Parmigano Regiano cheese (on the SCD we use dairy that is aged and has added bacterial cultures so the lactose gets consumed) People with a true casein intolerance avoid the dairy which is not mandatory on SCD. The casein does get denatured in our homemade yogurt. The casein molecule experiences a change in it's dimension.

I cannot use Bob's Red Mill Almond flour as it is ground on machines that process grain as well. Even though the machines are cleaned and the first fifty pounds of almond flour discarded, I still react.


Pizza can also be homemade with a hamburger crust.

I am 42 and used to have a cast iron stomach. I was diagnosed as celiac a year and a half ago, and not given ANY direction or support by my doctor. Up until a week ago I had no idea how to get help, and didn't slow down my chaotic life to research and just went with what I found on the computer at GNC 2 years ago, which helped me figure out that there was an allergy in the first place. The info index at GNC said that a gluten allergy included rice, potatoes, corn, peas, beans and legumes, as well as wheat -ANYTHING that can be used to thicken. All of these give me pain, and exhaust me. I have found that the shorter grain the rice, the more pain it gives me, and the more immediate the reaction is also. A couple of weeks ago, my neighbors blessed me with installing a wireless internet card so I could use their internet, as I'm quite strapped for funds, and I've been researching nightly since. Through the celiac sites I have discovered, I have been hit with the seriousness of the situation, and have learned there's this 'initial recovery period' everyone refers to, and have no sure idea how long it's supposed to last, how I am supposed to eat for optimal results, or any of the like. I assume its a 'back off' period where you are extremely kind to your intestine so it can rest, and then you can reintroduce allowed carbs. I hope I am right in assuming that since it takes 30 days to detox from gluten, that this period is supposed to last at least that long. I have just found a good store here in Salt Lake City that is a gluten free store, called Against The Grain, but since I am reactive to all the 'allowed' foods, I'm a little timid about trying any of them. I have found that other celiacs also report that they cannot digest sugars properly, have a skin rash that doctors have said is a yeast infection in their skin, both, I have as well, and thought the internet, have discovered why the medication the doctor prescribed for the skin rash isn't working...it contains gluten! As a matter of fact, half of the medications I have in the cabinet contain gluten. No wonder I have gotten progressively ill over the years to the point of disability. I love to cook, and now have a lot of questions about all the chemicals, preservative and processing terms on the food packaging & seasonings. What changes these cause in the foods that would otherwise be gluten free.

I have had the same problem with other gluten-free Amy's products -- even the non dairy varieties. As soon as I eat them I get sick. I have heard that some celiacs are also sensitive to soy and the symptoms are similar...

I'm a 25 year old, and like you Pete I have yet to be diagnosed. I have not yet tried the Amy's Gluten-free pizza, but I have it in the freezer and I'm likely going to try it next week. I really don't know what will happen as right now I'm just in the testing stage as its only for me been almost 2 weeks on a gluten-free diet, but I believe you when you say you got a reaction, but then I'm also thinking maybe there is 'hidden' ingredients within the pizza itself, even thogh it does clearly say GLUTEN-FREE. Anyways take care and god bless

I haven't had any problems with Amy's products, love them! however I am only gluten intolerant, I have no problems with lactose or soy.

I tried Amy's pizza as well, while it tasted delicious, it made me very sick, my stomach and abdomen swelled so badly thought it was going to pop. Won't be eating Amy's products again.

The label notes that it is made in a factory that processes wheat products. I too have gotten sick the few times I have had it so I am betting on cross contamination.

They're coming out with a gluten-free, lactose-free pizza -- but we'll have to wait for January to get it. I wish they had some gluten-free roasted vegetable pockets too. Hope this helps!

I suspected that I was having reactions to Amy's products (many different ones, different tamales, casserole bowls, etc), but I was hesitant to say that I was definitely reacting to them, until yesterday.
I was feeling awesome, so I figured I would try an experiment. I ate one of their mexican casserole bowls, which was literally just beans, corn, cheese, and sauce. Within 2 hours, I had (what is for me) a mild reaction; abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Every time I have one of their products, within 2 hours I feel like crap.
I also had one of their gluten free soy cheese and spinach pizzas about a month ago, and within 30 minutes, I felt extremely nauseous, like I was going to throw up. It's a bummer, because I do like their stuff, I just don't like what it does to me.

I am at a point where I eat hardly any processed foods, even gluten-free ones, but one convenience that I indulged in from time to time was Amy's mild salsa (also dairy-free and soy-free and with very few ingredients). I have suspected that it was not totally gluten-free, but now I am sure that it can't be. I am super sensitive to cross contamination, it's true, but still I had the rumbling in the stomach, pain, and D two times this week after eating it, whereas I'd been perfectly fine the rest of the week. I will stay away from this salsa and her other products from now on, especially after reading that many others have reacted to them as well.

Tonight I just bought my first Amy's product. The Pesto pizza. After the first few bites I felt like I needed to throw up and ran to the sink. I don't understand because the pizza taste Really good. PLUS I can eat gluten, milk, cheese ..mostly anything and not get sick. So its strange that I am getting sick of this product

Pete, I could not agree with you more about Amy's Rice Crust Pizza. I have been GF for 3+years, yet I still LOVE pizza. Every time I eat the rice crust Amy's pizza I have the same reaction - nausea, bloating, cramps, etc. It is awful and for some reason I seem to forget this when I'm in the market and I've bought them several times! When desperate, I cook them and regret it dearly. I plan to only do make it yourself with pizza crusts (Udi's makes a good one).
I am not convinced that product does not contain wheat. Beware!!

I ate Amys pizza lactose free and gluten free and woke up that night in a lot of pain and had diarrhea...I thought I would give it a second try yesterday with ( Amy's gluten, lactose and soy free mac and cheese) within 30 min I was bloated with bad cramps and again diarrhea. I am not sure whats the issue, but I am super bummed and annoyed.

My son just made himself some Annie's mac and cheese and found what looked exactly like a "regular" noodle mixed up with the rice noodles. I think we're done with Annie's, I'll stick to Tinkyada noodles with my own cheese sauce

I've tried Amy's GF pizza three times, and each time spent the next 10 days dealing with my set of gluten induced symptoms. I don't understand it because when I make pizza from scratch, I use similar ingredients, except for the sunflower seed meal and soy lecithin, whatever that is. I'm lactose intolerant, but with a few Lactaid pills can usually handle a little cheese. Not with Amy's. I like my pizza better anyway, but sometimes the convenience of pre-made is nice.
