Has Anyone Noticed The New Labeling On Amy's

My Whole Foods has been out of Amy's gluten-free enchiladas forever so today I swung by the frozen aisle in Publix (they added several of Amy's things but nothing gluten free or so I thought). So I see the box - I don't see the green type at the bottom corner so I think it's the reg. stuff, not gluten free. Then I look closer and it says 'NO GLUTEN INGREDIENTS'. Nothing else has changed but that text. This is strange to me so I'm going to e-mail the company and ask why they changed from saying gluten free to the new term. I don't think the item is any different but maybe it's a new CYA ploy for some food makers. I'm making enchiladas tonight but these frozen ones are great to have in a pinch.

Publix also started carrying the Mission corn chips and they had a new flavor - GLUTEN FREE in bold on the back. You gotta love it!

I have noticed the same thing. It is also true on some soups and their refried beans. Can't find the gluten free pizza anymore either. I would be interested in hearing about what they say after you contact them.

On the Amy's website (www.amys.com) they list in the special diets section why they changed their label. Basically unitl the new rules are passed and become affective in 2008 regarding labeling gluten free items, their stuff will be labeled 'no gluten ingredients'. This change started on all new packaging for Amy's gluten-free items in April of this year. The ingredients did not change. Also, the text is not green anymore so you really have to look for the new text to make sure you don't overlook the gluten-free stuff.

Hi Floridanative,

Someone started a thread on this very same topic in the next category down, Gluten Free Ingredients & Labeling, or whatever it's called, and it looks like there has been some discussion about it. you might want to check it out also.

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
