Lister Rising Star

alright cool may be able to get away with that pizza for dinner _ Finally i get to use my pizza cooker _parents got me it for chirstmas and then this happend lol. I dont want to walk to the store because even though its june its pooring down worse then it did in december and i dont feel like getten wet

the amys just worried me since they have that thing on the back saying the product is cooked in the same place as wheat

Mango04 Enthusiast

There's always a risk of CC whenever you buy a packaged product, but I do trust Amy's. I believe they take precautions when it comes to CC. If you do react, take into consideration that it could be from the dairy (if you are just now reintroducing it) or the soy.

Lister Rising Star

true that, meh i dont feel like risking eating that much dairy yet i dont think so now that the frys are in the oven its down to winco for steaks

I am extremely sensitive, and have yet to have had a reaction to Amy's....I eat their "mexican" stuff about 1x a week for the past year or so.

Guest BERNESES

I unfortunately am one of the lucky reacters :( However, there plenty of people who do really well with Amy's and I've actually dealt with the company- they take gluten-free VERY seriously.

I'm very sensitive, I eat lots of Amy's, and I've never had a reaction.

I doctor up the pizza with my own stuff, all kinds of veggies and more cheese. I had one plain the other day and now understand why some people don't like them! They definately need the doctoring! But, that would be the case for me and any plain pizza.

wolfie Enthusiast

I am one of the ones who reacts to them, BUT, I do have several other food intolerances that could be to blame for that. I can't say for sure that gluten was the issue. I reacted to both the enchiladas and the Santa Fe enchilada bowl. I haven't had any products of Amy's since. I do have issues with soy, onions, garlic, peppers and lactose, though, all of which are in the entrees. I should give the Rice Mac & Cheese a try again and see if I have an issue with that. If I take a Lactaid and eat that and have an issue, then I will know it is gluten.

Give it a try since you have the items. Just keep track of whether or not you have any symptoms. Hopefully you will be fine. :)

CarlaB Enthusiast

It's probably not the gluten as I eat all those things and do not react. I love the mac and cheese!

I really loved the mac & cheese, too, and have been too nervous to try it since my last incident (Santa Fe Bowl). Now that I have been gluten-free longer, though, and I am feeling better overall, I may give it a try again. I have to get some stuff tomorrow....maybe I'll pick it up for dinner. :)

I ate the mac &cheese 3 times a day for 3 weeks when I couldn't chew, and i never once got sick so i know that the mac and cheese does not have very high CC cause i alwwawwys get sick from the tiniest amount of gluten.

It was actually the beszt thijng cause it lasted longer than other things that are liquid i had mac &cheese and the cedar lane 5 layer dip cause they had a lot of calories, i would have the cedarlane dip whole thing in 1 sitting and not be full, for reference that ahs like 20 sevings in it...

I hate when that happens--it never tastes as good when you have to finish it on the stove. The guy's name is Urine?

Yea, I've eaten them for the same reason! I also use chips to dip in the dip, so that adds even more calories.

And, I'd really like to see that many people try to share that little bowl of dip! I think the whole bowl has something like 600 calories.

Guest BERNESES

Amy's is in the process of building a dedicated facility for their gluten-free stuff!

Lister- Jimmy Urine looks cool but I miss gyrating Stewie- I LOVE family Guy!

Yeah i for sure could not chew chips until about 5 months ago. Still no feeling in my face!~! :huh:

Lisa--Piss poor! So funny! (just kidding, Lister ;) )

Bev--I miss Stewie, too :D

Lister Rising Star

stewie will be back lol, yeah his full name is Litttle Jimmy Urine, but is birth name is Jim Urine- wow i do feel sorry for him to have that last name. Mindlesselfindulgance.com has samples and yes its probably not going to be any of your choice in music i have a very uniqe taste.

as for my steak- it tasted like crap but thats what i get for buying meat from winco there was green spots on the bottom of the steak o well food is food for now. But thx for the replys about amys im going to have my mexican bowl for lunch tomorrow

Guest BERNESES

I just listened to "What Do They Know?" They sound kind of cool- I bet the showsa are WILD!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
