Help
I am just curious if anyone has had reactions to these products. I am pretty sure I have had a reactions to Maple Leaf hot dogs and I think I had a gluten reaction to Amy's Soups. I have not personally had Old Dutch chips or Healthy Choice since going gluten free. Thanks.
I had another one, but the poll wouldn't let me add any more:
Healthy Choice Soups
Yes
No
I had a reaction, but it was to something other than gluten (please indicate)
I have not had this product
Maybe
Have You Had Gluten Reactions To These Products?

Amy's - definitely. Tested and retested because there are a couple of their products that I loved . But I got the worst glutening I have ever had from their products. Three times.
The first time, I figured I must have glutened myself somehow. The second time I tried another product thinking maybe it was just a product specific CC problem. The third time was after I waited for several months and re-tried the first product again.
That was enough for me not to trust any of their products. It's just not worth the two weeks of recovery.
I haven't had any of the other products.

There's been a lot of discussions on here regarding Amy's gluten-free status, which is why I haven't tried them yet.
I had a giant black hair in my Healthy Choice product years ago and I was so grossed out I haven't tried them again.
I don't eat hot dogs, so I can't help you there.
I'm unsure if I reacted to Old Dutch since the last time I tried them was in the early stages of being gluten-free.

Tapioca intolerant
First cousin dx'd with Celiac Disease
Grandmother died of malnutrition b/c everything made her sick... sounds like celiac to me.
Gluten-free since June 2005
Dx with IBS February 2005
Blood tests both negative (or inconclusive?) for celiac (in 2002 and 2004)

I would be turned off from their products after I found hair too
I have not had Healthy Choice soups.

I am in a process of trying gluten-free diet to see if it makes any of my symptoms better and I eat a lot of Amy's products. I tend to eat Amy's Shepherd's pie (labeled gluten-free) 2x week. I should probably reconsider eating it now

I couldn't answer about any other than the Amy's. Eating that companys food is like playing roulette, same as many other companys that make stuff that is not gluten-free along with gluten-free food.
Healthy Choice I would not touch. Not worth the risk. The company that makes it makes so little gluten-free food that I would never touch the few items they do make. I prefer to safe rather than sorry. If I want soup I use HerbOx bullion (gluten and MSG free) and throw in a few veggies and Thai Kitchen rice noodles.
Edit: I was thinking of a different brand not 'Healthy Choice' I don't know what the CC risk would be with them.

Occasionally I buy Healthy Choice pasta sauce but not the soup. I'm not sure I've ever seen Healthy Choice soup. We don't usually get Old Dutch chips, and never buy Amy's.
With regards to Maple Leaf, we get the Top Dog hot dogs as it's the only gluten-free hot dog I've ever encountered. Ty's asymptomatic, so that doesn't help you, but I'm pretty sure that they contain soy. I wonder if that might be the problem.

I have been eating hot dogs quite a bit, and I've checked 3 or 4 different labels looking for gluten and not found any gluten.. i think. I have changed to all beef ones after reading the labels....
Could I just be missing something.. what's the gluten containing ingredent?

The one I had twice was the Black Bean and Vegetable Enchiladas, the one I had once was the Shepherd's Pie.
This was many months ago, so I'm not sure if I was just unlucky or if they have a real problem. I'm just not brave enough to try them again.

I'm from Canada where we sprinkle wheat on everything. Gotta support the farmers.
All y'all from south of the 49th have LOTS of hot dogs to choose from.

Thanks for all your replies, I appreciate it 
I never reacted to Amy's shepard's pie or the enchilada thingy, but I am pretty sure I had some sort of reaction to their soups and chili

I reacted very badly to the black bean and vegatable enchiladas and the black bean chili. This was back in Jan.

Amy's really sounds like it is hit or miss. I guess I have been lucky eating their frozen dinners.

Amy's tomato pasta sauces are the suspect for me- too scared to try them again.
