Amaranth Foods, Calgary

Recommended Posts

I know a lot of people have been glutened by Amy's foods and I would say the reason why is on the packaging ,it says it is produced in a facility with wheat products. I was up at Amaranth foods and they showed me the Amy's that was gluten-free. However after reading where it is produced it really isn't, not for me anyway. So when I was up there I got some new cookies that taste good and I would tell you the name but the cat is laying on my wrist so typing is difficult. I got some butter tarts by El Peto, never tried their stuff before. I also found some gluten-free ice cream cones. I only went to get Kinnickinnik pizza crusts. As usual it cost me the usual fortune up there.

They have a contest on right now, I don't know for how much longer but you can win $2000.00 worth of groceries. I sure hope they pick my name.

The rep from Amy's called me and they tested two packages from their reserve of the one that made me sick and it came back negative. She said it came back negative within their ability of testing (at Nebraska). I know I was glutened, and that was the only thing that could have done it. Must have been the whole "same facility as" thing. <_< Either way, I'm not eating Amy's again.

The stuff looked so good and from what I hear tasted good but I can't take that chance. It takes such a minute amount to make me sick.

I've been a victim of the "same facility" thing too many times. With very few exceptions, when I see that, I put it right back on the shelf! ;)

I entered that contest too, lol. But, I think you only win a "portion" of $2000, like $200 or something. Bet hey, anything is better than nothing. I'm still peeved they don't have K-Toos there yet.

The cookies I got are called Pure and these are Chocolate Trip they are made by pureindulgentfoods.com here in Calgary and they have hemp in them also.

A portion is better than nothing of $2000.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
