Amy's Pasta Sauce

Hi,

I know some of you have had problems with Amy's products and that they have tested some of the gluten-free products in the past only to, indeed, find gluten. Knowing this, I still tried their "gluten free" pasta sauce last night and have felt horrible since (mostly fatigue, irritability, and the typical tummy stuff). I emailed them last night to let them know, but I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with the sauce? If I remember correctly, most of the past problems for some were with their frozen meals.

Any input is appreciated.

I have had problems with Amy's salsa and yes most of their frozen stuff is not gluten-free. I emailed Ragu and asked if their sauces were gluten-free and they said they were but to check the ingredients often as they could change. So that might be an option.

After getting sick from their frozen stuff (it's a shame because the mac & cheese is really good!), I don't trust them.

I make my own pasta sauce with 1 can sauce, 1 can crushed tomatoes, 1 tbsp italian seasoning, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1/2 a chopped onion, 3 cloves garlic, and 1 tsp brown sugar. Saute the onion & garlic in olive oil until soft, add everything else, and simmer about 45 mins. Sometimes I throw a little balsamic in there, also. It freezes well.

Sorry you feel crappy :unsure:

Feel better soon! :)

Wow, thanks for the recipe, sounds great! I try to make almost everything from scratch, but once in a while, I am limited on time and have to use a "trust-worthy" brand......guess I should have known better based on others' problems. They did email me back and will be calling me on my cell eventually. They asked if I had saved any of the sauce (of course not, I wanted it out of my house, I was so mad).....I hope they can use info on the jar to find and test another sample from the batch. I'll keep you all posted.

For lunch today I had one of their frozen mexican things. I don't eat their stuff everyday. More like once or twice a month. I have not had any problems but know of many people who do.

You can make an extra large batch of sauce when you *do* cook from scratch and freeze (even just in a ziploc bag). My italian MIL does this. :-)

Good idea, Tiffany. I should make a huge batch this weekend.

They (Amy's) called and said that they submitted samples for testing, so I'll keep you all posted.

I eat Amy's Family Marinara and Tomato Basil Sauces on my Tinkyada pasta with no problems. I do however have problems with the Classico sauces which are all supposed to be gluten-free.

      Help with genetic testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The genetic testing results you provided indicate that your child carries two copies of the HLA-DQ2.5 beta chain (DQ Beta 1 *02:01, *02:01), which is a high-risk genetic marker for celiac disease. However, the alpha chain (DQ Alpha 1 *05:01, *05) is only partially present, as HLA-DQ2.5 typically requires the alpha chain *05:01 paired with the beta chain 02:01. Since your child has two copies of the beta chain (02:01) but only one full *05:01 alpha allele (the other appears truncated as *05), this suggests they are heterozygous for HLA-DQ2.5 rather than homozygous. The term "permissive for celiac disease" means your child has genetic susceptibility but not necessarily the highest-risk genotype (homozygous DQ2.5). Since celiac disease development also depends on environmental triggers and other factors, further testing (such as antibody screening or biopsy) may be needed to confirm a diagnosis. Consulting a genetic counselor or gastroenterologist can help clarify these results and next steps.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      As my doctor said, you don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast.  I may have a leftover piece of chicken and left over squash or eggs or I am actually more likely to skip breakfast as I do intermittent fasting.  In that case I eat lunch around 11:30 and have some guacamole and a salad with chicken or tuna.  For dinner I have pork, shrimp, chicken, lamb, or turkey with half a baked sweet potato and some broccoli, green beans, beets, carrots or cauliflower.  I do not eat any grains on the advice of my doctor.  I do not eat commercially processed products, even if they say they are gluten-free.  I make Warrior Bread every few weeks.  It has no yeast and contains almond flour and dried sweet potato.  Very tasty too.  A good book to help in this regard is No Grain, No Pain by Peter Osborne.  Thankfully, I can eat coconut and nuts and use those flours in baking and also use nut milks in cooking.  Since I am allergic to chocolate and vanilla, lemon is my go to flavor for something sweet.  My migraines totally disappeared once I went gluten and casein free.  I can occasionally eat certain high fat cheeses that are low in casein, as well as grass fed butter.  I use lots of Organic Olive and Avocado oil. The problems I thought I had with nightshades went away when I went fully organic.  And, the rest of my issues went away by avoiding the foods I tested positive to as well as avoiding all grains. I will be the first one to say that it is a very expensive way of eating, but thankfully we can afford to eat that way.  The good news is that I take no prescription meds at age 72.  At 54 before diagnosis, I was a mess and on a boatload of pharmaceuticals.

      With that many foods removed from your diet, what do you eat?  I also have histamine issues and migraines so that takes out certain trigger foods and high histamine vegetables.  Have allergies to coconut and issues with nuts so those are out.  I'm beginning to think I may have to remove dairy and some of the grains beyond wheat to get allergies under control.  Just having so many issues figuring out what to make at meal times.  What's a typical breakfast look like for you?  Thanks.

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.
