Amy's Cheese Enchilada Not Gluten Free

It is important to note that Amy's Cheese enchilda states that no gluten is contained but does "not" claim to be gluten free for good reason. I'm very sick 20 mins. after eating this product, be sure to stick to the dinners they make that say "Gluten Free"... In lots of pain right now. :(

I just ate one yesterday with no problems. I'm lactose intolerant so I took a Lactaid before eating but no gluten reaction.

Amy's products seem to have issues with CC. I used to eat them frequently and sometimes they would be fine and others they would get me.

I think I would have said the same thing ten years ago, but after going 100% gluten-free for many years now I know in the past what I thought was gluten free

I've had two of Amy's dinners since going free. One was fine. The other resulted in my worst glutening ever (I felt like I was about to die.) I'll never touch them again unless they go to dedicated gluten-free lines and equipment.

It might be good to contact the company and get their policy and procedure information.

Some of us react to lower levels of gluten than others. I appreciate the warning.

I contacted Amy's awhile back specifically about their enchilada packaging. I was told that they switched to the "no gluten ingredients" when the legal definition of "gluten free" was hot and heavy but the level wasn't set and the law wasn't written. They said they didn't want to get stuck with a bunch of packages they couldn't use if the law had something in it they couldn't do. They said nothing had changed and from their perspective there as absolutely no difference between "gluten free" and "no gluten ingredients used." As we all know, the law/federal guideline still hasn't happened.

I would recommend anyone concerned with the labeling or CC with Amy's call them directly and find out for themselves what their policy and practices are.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
