Amy's

I bought my son Amy's Lasagna this weekend. It says on the box that it is not made with gluten ingredients. But under the ingredients there is an allergy warning stating that the product was made in a facility that also makes wheat (among other allergins) products. Doesn't that then mean it is not guaranteed to be safe?

Yup, that is exactly what it means. There could be cc from something in the plant or some ingredients from their suppliers that they can't verify. I contacted them several times because I love their products and used to eat them all the time until I got sick. They said they can't guarantee cc isn't an issue. I have stopped eating everything because it isn't worth the risk. Some people still eat their stuff and they don't get sick from it.

This is going to be one of those areas that you have to decide for yourself. I usually decide wether or not to eat something that is made in the same facility based on the company. I know that Amy's tries very hard to reduce cc (cleaning lines however, it does not always work) and so I will eat their food. Other companies that I am not familar with I tend not to eat the products where a facility is shared.

I also eat Amy's quite often (a real treat to have something in the freezer ready to go). I've routinely eaten Amy's mac & cheese, rice pizza and Mexican bowl without problems. I've also wondered why I don't see more mention of her products here. Maybe we need to recognize that some of us are more sensitive than others. Maybe cc will get me down the line, but my goodness, so might the global situation or the local crosswalk. Eat it and if you feel okay, go stock up!!

Also FYI, their Rice Crust pizza and Mac 'n Cheese are produced in a dedicated facility. I have reacted to their other products. They are a very aware and responsible company, IMO, which is why they changed their labeling.

So if I have two cans of the same product, one that says gluten free and one that says made in a facility... is that just a change in labeling and both should be considered made in a facility?

Yes, I would think you have an old can and a new one. But the cc would be the same. IMO.

      @Dora77, You shouldn't worry about getting glutened through your skin.  You would have to touch a gluten infested doorknob and then put your hand in your mouth.   I'd be more concerned with your mom's heating up gluten bread in the oven and boiling gluten noodles.  These methods cause particles of gluten to become airborne which would then enter your nose and be swallowed, going into your digestive tract.  I have to avoid the bakery aisle at the grocery store for this reason.  An M95 mask helps. If you get nutritional deficiencies corrected, your immune system will calm down and be less reactive to gluten expose.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.  Thiamine and Niacin help make digestive enzymes which would help digest any accidental gluten exposure.  Thiamine helps Mast cells not to release histamine, an inflammatory agent released as part of the reaction to gluten, and also a neurotransmitter that causes alertness and anxiety, and the flight or fight response.  Pyridoxine will help improve the OCD.  Remember your brain is part of the body.  Vitamin deficiencies affect your brain and mental health as well as the rest of your body.

      I do not have evidence other than anecdotal but I am certain when I have gotten these it's the result of eating gluten (back when I did).  I don't get them now that I don't eat gluten.

      What really bothers me is if worrying about getting cc‘d from touching the same door knob as others touched is valid. Seems like an extremely unlikely way to get glutened but i read people saying that.    If thats true then theres realistically zero chance i dont get cc‘d in a non gluten-free household unless i Cook Everything myself and wash my hands multiple times in between and store all of my stuff separately

      Welcome to the forum, @Mrs. Cedrone! Among the various causes for canker sores, are "Nutritional problems like too little vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, or iron" https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/canker-sores Could you be deficient on something?

      I have been a diagnosed Celiac for over 30 years.  If I even get any type of cross contamination I end up in the hospital.  Recently I have been getting "cankers".  I am assuming that this is a result from something I am eating.  any insight would be greatly appreciated.  I follow an extremely strike diet as result and this is something new that has popped up.  I still get very ache sometimes and fatigued.  Thank you.
