yesterday for lunch I had a Amy's gluen free mexican casserole. It only has corn torillas (which I'm fine with corn), black beans, and some spices and cheese. It says gluten free on the box but not certified gluten free.

 

I had stomach pain a couple hours after eating it and I only ate a few bites because I didn't really like it.

 

well this morning I have the big "D" and woke up with a migraine. what the heck?

If I'm not mistaken, quite a few folks here on the forum have had trouble with Amy's products. The health food store I go to sells Amy's pizza, and it is quite a bit cheaper than the Against the Grain pizza that they sell, but I always buy the Against the Grain because I won't take the chance with Amy's. (And besides, the Against the Grain is pretty darned tasty.+

"when in doubt, throw it out."

 

Could be any reason why you feel bad, but for now, this product is not for you.

Ugh.  Amy's zapped me bad on an Indian entrée labeled gluten-free.  Won't ever be tempted to buy hat brand again.  Others on the forum haven't had a problem with Amy's.

 

If you like Mexican and convenience, Frontera brand sauces in the packets are the bomb and I've never had a problem with them.  It is only slightly more work, but much tastier, and better than being sick for a week IMHO.  (But remember to check ingredients in case they change their recipes.)

Wow! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has issues with Amy's... Their meals are tasty unfortunately, so I second-guessed myself a few times before I admitted to myself it was glutenings. Wish they'd do their gluten free meals in a gluten free facility.

Take it from an old pro.  Amy's zapped me too.  Pre gluten free I could eat it.  Once I went gluten free I ate one of Amy's and the next day the room was spinning for six hours.  I'll never touch it again.  That brand has too many CC issues.

Wow! Lesson learned! Good thing I didn't eat the whole thing I'd be way sicker

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Bitters for digestion?

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
