Amy's

I was so proud of myself for getting this product to microwave at work, but then I noticed that while the meal is made with "no gluten ingredients," it's made in a factory where wheat is processed. So has anyone eaten an Amy's meal and had a reaction?

Thanks!

Some people react to Amy's, some don't.

I have had many reactionst to Amy's and no longer eat their food. They said they can't guarantee that cc isn't a problem. I chose not to eat things that are produced in the same facility as wheat because I usually get sick.

Carla is right, so people eat Amy's stuff all the time and don't get sick.

If you are just starting out I would stay with naturally gluten-free foods like meats, fruiits and veggies anyway to give your system time to heal. You can experiment later when you are feeling better.

Yeah, you'll Have to make that choice yourself. Amy’s was going to move the pizza and I think the mac and cheese (?) to a gluten-free facility though. Not sure when that happened, or is going to happen. I do eat Amy’s on occasion and have never had any issues.

I checked on this. I thought the new facility was supposed to be gluten-free but it isn't. They have some sort of a covered area where they make the gluten-free stuff so no gluten in the air can get into that area. I thought that would be good enough but they said they don't consider that a gluten-free facility. If they don't consider it a gluten-free area, then I'm not willing to take another chance on them yet.

I always have some Amy's Mac 'n Cheese on hand in the freezer for those times when I get too hungry and need to eat something fast. I have noticed that I don't always feel great after eating one though. It's hit and miss. I thought it was made in a gluten-free facility! Now I know why I feel yucky sometimes after eating one. :angry: I don't think I want to risk it anymore.

This is the only of Amy's products that I have ever had a hard time w/. I was also taking antibiotics, but I got very violently ill about an hour after eating the shepherd pie. I would recommend everyone stay away from it. I just at the cheese enchiladas today for lunch. THey're pretty good. Never reacted to them. Or the pizza, which I love, or the mac and cheese. That's my advice :)

I tried 3 different times to eat Amy's stuff- I got sick each time. So now I leave it alone.

I've always been okay wiht the mac and cheese and the rice crust pizza.

But I had a burrito or enchilada or something one other time and it made me really sick.

oooooooo - I had the WORST reaction the one and only time I had Amy's Shepherd's Pie. What in the world is in that thing that causes such a reaction for so many of us? I would never eat that again!! :(

when i was first started to eat amy's i had a problem... three years later i tried them again no problem.

even better yet are the pizza by foods by george, and by far the every bidy eats and safe harbor foods pasta's are the best

I eat the cheese enchilada's with black beans and corn at least once a week at work. I add a little extra cheese. So far I have never had a problem. Tried the veggie brown rice bowl. I personally didn't like it. The mushrooms smelled and tasted "too earthy" to me, like eating dirt. YUCK!

I've eaten tons of Amy's (used to take it for lunch everyday). Mexican casserole is my favorite, shepherds pie stinks. I have not had any problems, it may be I'm not quite as sensitive to traces. It's still a fall back staple ofr me. I keep a few in my freezer for those nights I need to eat but can't bring myself to cook.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
